As the subject header says German funeral home tries to cater to gay funerals with erotic caskets or to quote:

[quote]A casket featuring the figures of muscular young men in athletic poses has been in the display case at Königsfeld & Brandl for the last three weeks.

The operators of the funeral home Thomas Brandl, 32, and Michael Königsfeld, 34, are themselves are a couple and aim to cater to both gays and lesbians in addition to straight customers.

Their ad reads: “Those who want a warmer, somewhat more fantastical departure, will find us to be a sensitive partner.â€

Erotic... what? Huh... Uhmmm... You know I just can't figure out why you would want one. I mean you're gonna stick it underground and never see it.

Doesn't that apply to all caskets? And there certainly is no lack of market for incredibly fancy ones at that.

Until they cater to heterosexuals by having erotically charged caskets, I'm going to end up on the side of the funeral home playing up an offensive stereotype and trying to get publicity.

By the way, talk about some horseshit, a gay community where every tenth person is estimated to be gay? That's not a notable gay community, that's a normal community, statistically speaking.

This is why I get a corrugated cardboard box with 'RETURN TO SENDER' on it in pen.
