It's interesting to me that this happens in an industry where the entire business is one of trying to aid someone who's lost something precious. Some things shouldn't have corporate branding. They definitely know better.
- lupusreal 2y agoI bet they did it without even thinking once about it, let alone thinking twice. In modern culture branding is on everything and most people see nothing wrong with it. From where I am sitting now I can look around and see hundreds of logos. I don't like this and think prosthetic manufacturers particularly shouldn't do it, but it would really surprise me if anybody in the company even had a personal unvoiced doubt about doing it.
- JohnFen 2y ago> In modern culture branding is on everything Truth. I've had a habit of removing all branding I can from the things I buy (particularly clothing) for most of my life. That got me to tune into it, and when you tune into it, you can't help but notice it's literally everywhere.
- marssaxman 2y agoLikewise! A seam ripper is helpful. For logos which are molded in, I have a collection of patches I can sew on; better a pretty ornament, or at least a symbol of something I care about, in place of some advertising.
- rickdeckard 2y agoNo doubt: If tombstones would move around in public, they would be branded for decades already... "I branded his stone with Pepsi, because he always drank Pepsi..."
- carlmr 2y agoI'm not sure they would like that branding, seeing as soda drinkers will have on average shortened lifespans.
- aaomidi 2y agoPretty sure average life expectancy has gone up since soda was invented ;)
- carlmr 2y agoThe general trend yes, but compare the population of water drinkers against soda drinkers and I bet you won't find a positive correlation.
- afiori 2y agoPepsi would not want its logo on a tombstone even if pepsi was good for your health and everybody knew it. Few companies want you to think even in passing "this guy used their products and now he is dead"
