I couldn’t care if they go climbing over my grave or a family members grave and take photos. Just so long as they don’t kick it down or anything like that. I would however care if they went and decided to put my family name on their shirt because as someone else said, their are still going to be living members of your family with that name. So I don’t really think it would be offensive to me (if I were the dead person) however I would be offended if I were the family member just because they are disrespecting my name, but not because they were standing on the grave or using it as a photo shoot for perhaps any other company.
I am offended by the whole thing.
And I would, like so many others have said, be so pissed off if I saw someone do that to my loved ones grave.
BUT, I am more offended by the whole idea.
I mean come on.
Print “funny” names that are on tombstones on tshirts?
Yeah, that’s real classy.
The whole idea of it is just so lame and pathetic.
If you want funny and insulting tshirts, just go to tshirthell insted.
Andleast the quality there is so much better.
heh, coming from someone named CumQueen…
Tattoo’ed and pierced people have sought acceptance and common respect for the way they choose to look for years. For a group of people who know what its like to be blatantly disrespected, you’d think we would be a bit more giving of ourselves, and bit more respectful to others, like us not not.
To everyone who has asserted that they have no problem with desecration/mocking of their own gravestones: that’s hardly the point, is it? This isn’t your gravestone.
Those who point out that this picture cannot be offensive to the people physically interred under those graves are right. They are very likely, though, to have living relatives with access to the internet. Grieving relatives for whom those lumps of rock are a symbol of people they cared about, and who quite probably share the name that’s being mocked.
And now that these crappy, puerile images have been posted on modblog, they’re more likely to be seen by people who won’t just be offended, but hurt and saddened. And why? Because the fact that the model happens incidentally to have tattoos and stretched lobes (as does a large percentage of women of that age), albeit ones that can’t be seen clearly, is apparently reason enough for Mr Larratt to share his wank fodder with the world.
Come on: more bodymods, less douchebaggery please.
It’s not funny, it’s not clever, it’s not artsy, I don’t see why it’s here.
ok honestly……people need to get a fucking sense of HUMOR….a person with the last name Kuntz IS amusing…….just like a lady in my phone book named Ineda…..her last name?…KIDNEY! AHHHAHAA INEDA KIDNEY! XD……shes alive….can we make fun of her name and it be ok?
I loled.
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.
Isabelle, I’m definitely not an atheist, and I agree with you. It’s just stupid.
I have a crush on her.
As people have said, this is the only photo ever on modblog that’s really offensive.
For those sticking up for her. Do you have dead relatives? If so, can we take the same pictures on their graves?
^^ me too!
Lol @41 who agrees with a comment that wasn’t made yet 😀
meh i’m totally not bothered about this. i’m a photographer and a digital artist, and one of my pieces of art includes a semi naked girl climbing out of a grave. zero complaints. at the end of the day it’s a picture. i can think of thousands that are much more offensive and tasteless than these.
I find interesting the amount of comments to this post saying ‘if the dead person were my [insert relative], I would [insert form of revenge]‘. Surely, if it were a question of respecting the dead, it wouldn’t matter whose the grave was?
But I have to chime in on that too. If I saw some chick doing this to the grave of one of my friends or relatives, I would kick her ass (or at least try to – I’m little but I have a temper). But for me it’s not about respect, it’s about my own feelings of anger about the fact of my loved one’s complete irrelevance to the model and photographer. It’s not rational, and it’s not moral. I think most of us hate the thought of, after death, being completely un-thought-of, because, once we’re dead and gone, memories are all that’s left of us. What Cupcake’s doing is stripping the memories from a memorial.
Just my thoughts.
Just to be clear, I don’t have a problem with taking a photograph of gravestones…when I saw my great-great-grandmother’s gravestone for the first time in another country, my father and I stood next to it and took a photo. Even for an art project, I visited the local graveyard and took some photos for inspiration. But the entire time, I was very careful not to step on anyone’s grave, and I tried to take the photos as respectfully and non-intrusively as possible. What’s been done here is that someone who is unoriginal and vapid is trying to make money off of crap clothing and not taking the time to consider the feelings of others.
graveyards are the dumbest thing in the world!….who’s idea was it to start collecting dead bodies?!….DUMB!…and disgusting…
The idea of funny surnames is just that. And I suppose if you were just walking in a cemetary and saw one you thought was funny (like when I saw one that said Butt) you may even have a chuckle. Or tell someone afterwards in a joking way.
I don’t believe I’d take a picture of it unless it was damn funny-looking. Then I might.
Sure wouldn’t crouch on it with my beaver next to the name “Beaver”.
THAT seems a little wrong. To me. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it desecration or premeditated disrespect. Maybe just a little thoughtless.
cool picture.
i like how shannon posted this.. and knew it was going to cause drama and didnt make any responses
stating that…
feel free to comment if you want
I love it. Vicky, you rock!
Everyone else, get over it… 🙂 If I were dead and had a funny last name, I would want a hot half-naked chick taking photos on my grave.
#’s 50 and 51: Hold on… hold on… did someone actually compare this to the holocaust???!!?! And wait… did the person after that really completely denigrate the holocaust??!!!?!
What the fucking hell is wrong with both of you?
Gotta say, I’m not a fan of the idea. Personally I wouldn’t give a fuck if it was MY gravestone, but somebody else’s who likely had no say in the matter? It’s one thing to flaunt body modifications and freedom and even nude societies, but it just doesn’t sit right with me to impose nudity on somebody’s grave without express permission from family.
#51, To say that the Holocaust “sucked” is just a bit of an understatement, don’t you think? You go outside and find your car has a flat tire…that sucks. Genocide is a a lot more horrific than the word “suck” can encompass.
Your statement wasn’t offensive as much as it proves that you suck.
haha.
WOW.
I went to work and came back to… what the hell is this?
I hate the anonymity of the internet, otherwise I could wait it out and then squat naked on everyone’s grave who’s getting all flustered like old ladies.
Shocker!!: woman shows ankles in graveyard.
🙂
Love ya Vicky
xo
Wow I must say.. I reallllly really REALLY dont’ agree with this at all.. I think it’s fuckin horrible.. It’s somebody’s place fo rest… I agree with “taal” on this one.. I mean.. If their family was to come up to pay respect to the site while this was going on… I can’t see it going over very well >.
oh and to add to that.. The second one is alright.. but teh first one just makes em want to vomit..and honestly, as with a few of the people on here.. I’de much rather look at ball torture photos then this.. But that’s just me:P
Also, am I the only one who thinks she’s not even that cute?
Vicky, you look gorgeous.
fuck the haters.
Everyone completely shitting themselves over this is providing some excellent entertainment. Thanks.
PS: There’s much worse things in this world to get upset about. This is a stupid thing to get upset over, and complaining about how horrible it is accomplishes nothing. Go get passionately pissed off about the state of the world today and get involved in a charity where your passion can actually contribute to something other than general bitchery.
I think graveyards are a waste of time and resources. I think it’s completely stupid when you look at the monstrous amount of money that’s spent on people AFTER THEY DIE when there are a lot of living people who desperately need assistance. I think graveyards are tacky and in bad taste. So personally, I think it’s a total non-issue to take joke photos in a graveyard, and personally I think the whole industry is corrupt on every level.
I hope that when I die I just get dumped in a forest or something. I would not be happy at all if I got put in a box that costs as much as a car, etc…
I skimmed and read something about the holocaust and I actually give up.
Why do massive arguments like this ultimately come back to the Holocaust? Read any post on here with over a hundred comments and you’re almost guaranteed to read something about the Holocaust. You guys need to find something new to bitch about.
I personally think (not that it matters at all, just thought i’d throw in my 2 pence since everyone else has) that she looks ridiculous. This post isn’t mod related at all and a lot of people (myself included) find it disrespectful.
If people want to spend that much on graves and tombstones that’s totally fine by me, that’s not my money. Personally I want to be burned and put in a nice pot on someone mantlepiece.
You can be fucking sure I don’t like the idea of someone posing half naked with my pot of ashes.
How rude.
I’m not ENTIRELY sure where I was going with this, but basically she looks silly and really uncomfortable.
Please people. This is totally rediculous. Vicky looks AMAZING, the pics are totally HOT and everyone who wants to bitch and complain needs to get a life. Actually to all of those who find this SOOOOOO offensive, you are the reason this is great ART! Without someone to be offended what would there be to talk about. The fact alone that these pics have over a hundred comments makes them a complete success! And to #50-51 and whoever else who wants to compare these two little pics to the holocaust, really, your intelligence level scares me.
Furthermore, I don’t see any desecration or damage to the stone so no disrespect there and for those of you who think its immature or stupid, don’t buy a shirt, don’t share the pic with your friends… just move on. Commenting on how completely insulted you are is just creating more attention.
Finally, when I die I hope someone can get a laugh from me even years down the line. Otherwise what is left? Some bones rotting in a wooden box under a rock?
Please, I beg ya Fake111 when I die take a pic of a girl as hot as Vicky on my stone. Guess I’ll have to change my last name to something clever though…
Love the pics and the shirts. In fact I’m wearing one now! Ooh, guess I’ll see everyone else in hell! 🙂 Vicky-your beautiful!
>>>I think graveyards are a waste of time and resources.
Well quite possibly but if you want others to respect you and your choices would it not also be fair for you to respect them and theirs ?
Giles – I don’t personally think corpses have rights, and I don’t think we should coddle people in the notion that they do because it’s one of the most wasteful things we do as a species.
Shannon, you can arrange to be donated to the body farm. I’m donating my body to science. (or having my relatives do that.. rather)
To be clear, it’s because of the waste of resources, money and that grave yards are tacky and in bad taste that it’s ok to disrespect someone’s deceased loved one? Wow, this will teach those greedy bastards to spend money on a funeral and what-not, won’t it? Your reasoning is beyond moot.
Not corpses but the family who have chosen to bury their family there.
Personally I agree with your view on this but there are better ways of expressing it than this. Offending those who choose to do it won’t bring them round to your way of thinking.
>>>Your reasoning is beyond moot.
Moot is a fantastic word and whould be used more often.
How’s about you go do that bottomless offensive stuff on your family member’s headstone? I don’t appreciate the edgy “I think I’m clever” arty attitude of Fake111…Look I’m totally an artist and stuff, I don’t use iron-ons or anything, buy my shit.
Yo Casey, what do you think, Im totally from “the Valley”? I imagine if our family name was more interesting I would. But it’s not so I havent. Cant see havin a problem with pictures taken, topless, bottomless, or whatever by our graves. I would only be upset if they damaged them I figure. But a 8th grade level pussy joke I doubt would raise my temper much like I have seen here. I find it more funny that people read alot into this and seem to have a quite a decisive view of who I am and how I think. Its one fuckin picture that was a joke. While it may be true its a bit tacky or tasteless Ill admit, and even a tad disrespectful Ill even cop to after Ive read all these responses, I certainly wont loose any sleep over it. Neither will Beaver Im sure HA But I would also figure that if my name was Beaver, I would expect to deal with alot of chiding for it, much like I did for having the name Ugly contained within my last name. Maybe some of you take life, and death a bit too seriously. I whole hearted apologize to all those who are wrecked with contempt and ire for the horrible transgression I have bestowed upon mankind. Ill make sure I never do it again…
until I run across Cock, Ass, Douche, Pussy, or Twat…then all bets are off
oh yeah….
I dont use iron ons…buy my shirts(not shit…thats a whole different fetish Im not into)
it’s all the same to me… fuck you haters !!
Whats with everyone saying this isnt mod related? I see very nice lobes and lots of tattoos? Am I missing something to this mod thing?
#142 It isn’t speficially mod related because the whole entry is aimed at some clothing line.
I don’t see details of the size of her lobes, what her tattoos actually are etc therefore this isn’t a mod based entry.
Scarlete – I’m not saying it will teach anyone a lesson. I’m saying I don’t feel the need to respect the dead, nor do I feel the need to respect people doing wasteful things that hurt us all.
Stacey – A majority of the entries here are about the activities of modified people and don’t give nitty-gritty details about things like the exact size of their lobes. This entries shows her mods and links to her page for people who want to see more detail.
Shannon – Shouldn’t the mod be the primary reasons for being here rather than the secondary ?
Shouldn’t Shannon be allowed to post whatever the hell he wants? Last I checked this was a free blog available to all, the content regulated soley by the author. If you don’t like it, move on. I personally noticed more mods on this girl than on many of the others posted in the past, and yes I’ve been reading Modblog since it’s inception and have seen some.. interesting things, and many pictures of people in various states of undress with far fewer mods, in much more offensive settings, with nowhere near the knee jerk reactions as to this picture. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and if yours is to lash out blindly across the internet to “cyber slap” someone that you disapprove of, you need to go outside and get some real person-to-person contact and remember that you are not in control of the rest of the world, and attempting to do so is futile and an exercise in ego masturbation, nothing more.
Giles – No, I don’t think so. ModBlog is about the people as much as about the specific mods. If people want modification-exclusive stuff, that’s what BME is for.
Shannon – “ModBlog is a body modification blog featuring some of the best images and stories from the BME archives.” Fair enough it is your blog etc etc and if you wish you can post images of Monstertrucks if you so wish but there is much content that doesn’t seem to reflect the blurb “….best images and stories…. “.
Is this entry truly one of the *best* ? Or is it more of a provocative piece of imagery that /just so/ happens to include mods within it ?
Be honest here Shannon.
I feel that…I dunno. I don’t like the idea of graves, so I agree with Shannon on that view, and I can see it as a joke, but I also feel that if someone was sitting on my grandparents/brothers grave…I’d have to rip their fucking faces off.
To be honest. 🙂
