Come a little closer... a few more steps... a little more... yeah that's right. After successfully reading this message, you may need to use our service. Oh and just so you know, we are a FUNERAL HOME SERVICE.
Talk about a very creative place to put an advertisement, it really draws your audience in; hopefully not too close though. The advertisement is placed on the other side of the tracks of a very busy subway. It looks like such a simple advertisement, and it is; it is the environment that really compliments the ad and makes its message so humorous.
And wow, what a comic relief from the usual depressing and gloomy advertisements for funeral homes. But did they take this advertisement a little too far? Is it really appropriate to joke about the serious topic of death? Personally, I think that it is not a very good role to take when positioning yourself as a company that will provide the proper needs of a consumer that is most likely hurting from the death of a loved one. Not to mention, what if someone really did get a little too close?! I guess that just means more business for the company?
