To #43 – couldnt some simple photoshop get rid of the birth and death dates?
Clearly I’m going to hell, because I thought it was hilarious.
Oh well, at least two of my close friends will be there with me, as they were amused by it as well.
Maybe I’m weird, but I was more upset by the way they were making fun of the poor dead people’s last names. They’re dead, they couldn’t have given consent to have their family names used to promote t-shirts. To me, a name means a lot more than a rock, especially since there are probably still living descendants who are trying their best to be proud of their name.
is it just me, or dont the gravestones look like they were new for the shot? i just assumed they had made up fake gravestnes, in the sense they had pain a gravestone carver to make up new ones and used them in the graveyard for puroposes of the shot?
“paid** a gravestone carver”
we’re actually waisting valuble modblog viewing time by saying how this picture is disrespectful?…..holy shit…get the fuck over it….at least she isnt taking a shit on the fucking thing…..their dead…..they dont know whats happening….Jeezus H. Christ people C’MON!!!!! it happend…its over….Deal with it! GAHHHH some people are so freaking….*sigh*……mind numbingly frustrating, to me….grr…
to all those who find the pictures upsetting/disrespectful – there’s about 1,000,000 goth porn sites that show people doing way more unspeakable things on grave stones
Yes and the holocast happened too, shall we just forget that and pretend it never happened?
Kayla,…..no…not forget it ever happend…but recognize it….and say…oh fucking well….it sucked for them, but its OVVVVVVVVVVVVER and then go and figure out what the fuck your gonna havefor dinner and put skinny emaciated persecued jews ou of your mind because it dosent concern you….duh
PS: no offense to the jews…it sucked yeah but its over….
im with insincere about those stones being made for the photos. Dont real gravestones have more information… like the whole name and birth-death date. ?.. atleast in sweden they do..
Yeah Kayla. Because standing half naked on top of a fake tombstone is exactly like killing 11 million people.
The only thing that managed to offend me on BME were the neonazi tats.
This, I almost didn’t notice it _could_ be offensive.
Shannon – When are we going to move past intentionally offensive (albeit dumb) pictures and soft porn shots and concentrate on the vast world of body modification ?
Pretty miserable effort in my opinion. As many have said, if that were someone from my family, I’d be pretty upset. Not funny, not clever…just a whole lot of nothing. Cute girl though!
Personally I’d have no problem with half naked cute girls climbing all over my headstone.
Ive got a surname thats very easy to take the piss out of. If anyone climbs on my headstone and points and laughs, I’ll fucking haunt you.
i personally like the pictures, and though i can understand how it can be disrespectful to the family/ies it could be alot worse, it’s not like she’s defacing the tombstones or damaging them.
lighten up ^_^
They look a little photo shopped to me. Maybe it’s different in America but I have never seen a grave without a full name and date of death. I assumed it was a blank gravestone or the back of one and the text was put on later.
If not I feel sorry for the poor bastard that has to walk around looking for graves with “funny” names on. If they are real I’m with the people saying it’s disrespectful.
Oh and the site and its t-shirts are a bit shit. But people will buy any old wank if it’s modelled by someone hot.
These pictures irritate me on so many levels. Even if they weren’t gravestones – if they’d somehow found roadsigns, or something, with the words “Kuntz” and “Beaver” on – still, what an irritating, puerile, obscene idea for a photoshoot.
It’s not even cleverly done. “Here is a girl near a rude word.” How unimaginative and unartistic. Who are these adverts aimed at? 14 yr old boys?
Respektlos und unter aller Sau, wie man so schön sagt…
Das Grab bietet den Angehörigen die Möglichkeit, Respekt an die Verstorbenen zu zollen. Das ganze auf diese respektlose Art und Weise zu schänden/ entwürdigen…
Abgesehn davon, die Werbung für die Seite ist peinlich und billig – genau wie die Klamotten für die geworben wird.
Please note that these gravestones are photoshopped.. Note that the text-style is the exact same.. note that its nothing to get all buzzed-up for.
Elena, I hope someone with the name Beaver has a sense of humor. And for the record, I dont use Iron Ons anymore, all my shirts are silk screen images on nice Anvils or Bellas. I dont photo shop any of the images either Mr Will. Jeez people lighten up too, its just some silly names on graves and pretty angels. I guess in Beavers case its a lil disrespectful, so Im sorry Beaver. Its the only one we actually climbed on. But Kuntz is a great Butthole Surfers song. Should they apologize now for makin fun of that name in their song? and 58, whats yer last name? Would die to find the name Twat somewhere…
Whoa…people have really have gotten more morally conservative as the years have stretched on. For those who think that society is going to hell because of these shots, take a look at some midnight movies from the 70s. Thank you John Waters for shit eaters, chicken fucking and infantalism.
@ 62: anyhow, those gravestones belong to real (dead) people. it´s still disrespectful to stand on them, or / and use to promote those t shirts.
what would have happend if someone came by? “oh, don´t worry, we´ll use photoshop to change the name into some ambiguous words / names?!”
“Yes you can- it is private property- the grave site is a piece of land that you own. I could start by suing for trespassing. Depending on what they were doing there, I could continue through a whole line of offenses.” -Phalaeo
No. You can’t. Unless a cemetery is maintained, AND funded privately you’re out of luck. It is NOT a private cemetery. It’s a public cemetery that has been gracious enough to let you put your dead there.
Let me just say again, unless you manage to maintain AND fund this cemetery on your own without any assistance from the county/state/other families then it’s NOT private property.
Besides the fact that she’s not doing anything destructive. She’s just standing there. So, you’re “whole line of offenses” is pretty irrelevant. She’s. Just. Standing. There.
Is it in bad taste? Maybe.
Is it illegal? No.
Has she committed a crime? No.
Be offended if you must, but she isn’t breaking any laws…
bad taste
thats horrible, that is my grandfather in that grave…..,only kidding haha..she is hot
Indebted -I enjoy Pink Flamingos as much as the next person, and am in no way at all religious or conservative.
I think Jessica got it right with her comment: “Hey guys, did you know a word is just a bunch of shapes?”
It is a rock, yes, but a rock that represents somebody who is loved and missed. It’s a symbol.
It deserves respect.
I agree, this is disrespectful. Just because someone is dead doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have to care about them. I worked at a graveyard fo years and I’ve seen people do terrible things to grave markers and the effects it had on the families. I’m not saying it’s the same thing, but if someone stood half-naked on my mothers grave, no matter how funny the name, I wouldn’t be happy.
Utterly tasteless.
Maybe it is that I am an atheist but I am offended by the concept of cemetary itself.
Having to pay to get bury, having to pay for a coffin and a tombstone.and for what? Waste of space.
Here in Canada, even if you get cremated, you still gonna pay around 2 000$ of fee.
A dead body is only dead rotting cells,
I wish I could be buried deep into the forest, left to rot and return to the earth.
Those are funny picture, thank you!
“Maybe it’s different in America but I have never seen a grave without a full name and date of death. I assumed it was a blank gravestone or the back of one and the text was put on later.”–Mr.will
Just to clarify, in America, many families reserve plots of land, and even have headstones prepared before death, thus making their death a bit easier on their loved ones.
These pictures are unoriginal, immature, and mildly offensive–I think someone above put it right: they may just be stones, but they represent someone loved and missed, and that deserves respect. At least on some pornographic site with gravestones, the stones are just props and are at least creative, in terms of completing a “fantasy” of sorts. This was just asinine.
I don’t think legal action is in order, but seriously–people have lost all sense of manners these days!
Well, I can’t say I’m offended the least. I just see a pretty girl with a nice haircut sitting on a grave stone. The pictures made me smile, to be honest 🙂 I love pun.
Before people decide to flame my silly ass for having a different opinion, I CAN understand why it would offend people. I’m just not.
Click through and SHAZAM (all those words to read… nobody else bothered?)
“It became obvious to me that I have a knack for finding what I considered to be amusingly ironic names on headstones and crypts, and making them the focal point of my imagery. […] As a rule, I never digitally alter the image, only the perspective. You see them exactly as I did through my lenses.”
So that answers those questions of authenticity.
The questions of taste and morals remain un-answered I guess, although it seems pretty obvious to me. You either have them or you don’t!
I think she is a beautiful girl and personally could give less of a shit where she sits or what she sits on. As an armature photographer I love to go to the older parts of local graveyards and take pictures. Hell the background on my IAM page is a picture of a memorial. Headstones, grave markers, memorials and anything else placed on the earth are not there for the one that passes. They are their so their family can come visit where their decomposing body instead of celebrating what kind of life that person lived. My father died two years ago. I have yet to visit his grave. I have no need to visit the shell that was buried in the ground according to law. When my father passed he took his spirit with him. It did not stay in the little hole that was dug to be buried in a pit in the ground and be eaten by worms and beetles. Getting upset over a picture is, to me, more immature then the pictures will ever be. Get over it and move on. I’m sure there are more pressing matters in this world to be upset over and protest about then some woman sitting on a gravestone, real or not, for a photo shoot. Why not save that energy to fix the world and make sure everyone is feed, or clothed?
Don’t bitch about things that have no importance to the world in the long run ok. If you don’t like what you see go to the next picture or stay the hell off of modblog so that those of us who do enjoy looking can do so with out reading your rude or hateful comments.
When I die, I want a stripper to dance on my tombstone.
Although the only thing that I think someone should truly get pissed off from this is if they are 2 tombstones over recollecting times of their loved ones. But that’s just me.
And I’m serious about the stripper.
Actually, I have seen several stones with just a last name. People buy family plots, with one big stone with the last name, and when the family is buried, they have a smaller marker for individual coffins. As for the typeset being the same, chances are if it’s a smaller sort of town, and they used the same graveyard, they also used the same carver. It’s in bad taste, and was a bad idea, both because it’s disrespectful, and because it’s childish. I’m offended, and if it was my loved one’s grave, whoever did this would be in much more danger than any cops or lawsuits could bring.
Lately this site has been posting more pictures that are either gratuitous and useless or ones that, though they may have mods in them, are not focused at all on the mods, but on something stupid or childish such as this. I’m having more and more problems finding entries I’m even interested in seeing, because so many of them are like this one.
Marisa, sorry to give the impression that I was attributing people’s offense to religion. The “society going to hell” statement should have been “society going to shit” because I think people can be plenty moral without a religious belief. I still think that it is morally conservative to get wound up about these pictures. There’s a sexy girl squatting on a tombstone that reads Beaver. And I don’t have to respect either symbol by the way – the picture or the actual tombstone. Symbols don’t deserve respect.
I simply don’t agree that we should go around policing images or any other form of expression that we find distasteful because everyone has a very different idea about what constitutes taste.
………..I agree very disrespectful behavior
Well, I completely agree with Tracy.
I assume she isn’t wearing pants since the names on the graves have to do with Vag. As for whether this is disrespectful or not, I don’t really think it is, its not like she’s having sex on the grave, or killing animals on it or vandalizing it in some way. If she was going one of those things then maybe I would be more sympathetic. But I don’t believe in cemetaries anyway.
Oh and I don’t think the first picture is very flattering shot of her face.
I’m offended by the bad photography and the cheap attempt at being edgy. Meh.
It’s pretty common for a gravestone to have the family name on the back and the detailed information on the front, especially if it’s a large marker used for more than one person.
yeah, #79, you’re dead right. I sympathise entirely with the complaints about it being in bad taste, but I’m far more irritated by the crap photography. It looks like something produced by an A-level photography student in their first ever project.
The whole idea behind the photos is crap and cheesy and irritating, but not only that, it’s a crap idea done badly. It could have been done better. As portraits, they are rubbish.
very bad taste to post that….and fucking disrepectful as hell
I like these………….it’s like the people in the graves are part of the picture……they’re like getting some publicity even after death………..that’s be awesome
Well since the opinions have gotten a lil more personal about my work Ill say this in my defense. Ill be the 1st to admit they are not my best photos and they dont compliment my model all that much. But they were 2 second judgement jokes on what we found doing the rest of the shoot. Which I feel turned out rather well. The pun to me is more the focus than the girl herself. So take that for what its worth. I will also admit that doing my own shoots for my t-shirts with my models is very new to me and Im learning as I go. I didnt shoot the majority of the stuff on my site other than the images on the shirts..which again are not photoshopped and are silk screened not Heat transfer “iron ons” anymore. So I do take some of the criticism in a constructive way. Im used to doing other types of work, some of you have already paid for my work by chance in your CD collections. Thats a lil more my territory. This is stuff I do for fun. But judging by the reactions here, I do tend to agree that it was a bit in bad taste, but bad taste hasnt stopped art before so I dont see me giving up anytime soon as well. But I guess that should go for all cemetery photography if thats what ya think, no? And what of climbing on the great monuments of the Pharaohs? Would that not be disrespectful too? After all they are symbols to some…
and funny, fore over a year Ive had pics of Zui climbing all over gravestones clinging to a cross…didnt seem to bother anyone, I guess pussy jokes are off limits in graveyards. But most would have had the thought tho I bet
shitty clothing company. They have like three shirt designs and its basically an iron-on print out of a photograph. no design, creativity, nothing. I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to pay money to wear a black t with a print out of a photograph of someone elses grave on it.
Wrong, I have 5 designs on 3 styles of shirts at the moment…and again…not Iron Ons.
damn, all of ya’ll are way too fucking high strong. i want to legal say right now, when i die, feel free to use my gravestone for all sorts of fun and silliness as long as you dont actually harm it cause i hear those things are expensive as fuck
and shannon, my friends and i spent a good 15 minutes laughing over this shit last night, fuck the haters!
Im not high strung, hell Im kinda baked at the moment…
