Franklin Mint
It has long been my belief that some people would buy turds,
just so long as it came in fancy packaging and they could pay an arm and
a leg for it. Franklin Mint help validate that belief with their offerings.
What joy must fill them every time a much-loved famous person dies! It
means that a fitting tribute will shortly be sold (at no small cost) to
a gaggle of gullible grannies the world over.
Witness a small selection of their tastlessness and opportunism
by clicking on the thumbnail picture below. These are serious advertisements.
When reading through them, question in your mind every statement they make.
And don't laugh too loud.... it could be your granny who is forking out
your inheritance in the very near future. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Some
of these originals have follow-on links to Viz satires on the theme. For
