Sometimes it seems the advertising world doesn't seem to know when enough is enough.I've just read about an advertising agency in Australia that created a web site that supposedly allowed you to talk to those who have passed away to promote a movie called the orphanage.Now, maybe that might be OK, BUT, they didn't tell anyone that the site was a promotional stunt. Some people took it seriously (here's a comment from the site):
How can I talk to him and let him rest in peace. I'm hurting, waking up at night with headches, and have been wanting to through up. He was shot and died 40min aftter. During that time was when I wanted to call him, but it was 2 a.m. and did not think it was appropiate. Does this mean something????? Please tell me what I can do?????
I think this is going too far -- surely advertising agencies shouldn't be allowed to do this kind of thing -- giving people false hope about speaking to loved ones who have passed away. That's really off.
