Default Coffins For Fanboy Funerals

Coffins For Fanboy Funerals

While “themed” coffins is nothing new, biodegradable coffins with an iPhone theme are. While I can think of a bunch of people that should be buried in coffins like this, I’m not sold on the whole cardboard aspect. Blame our weekend news guy Terry for this one.




How many people would want to be buried in a coffin made to resemble an iPhone? Surely all those fanboys literally can't live without their Apple handsets? Wouldn't it be apt to be ensconced in a Microsoft Vista desktop wallpaper coffin, after having a heart attack from seeing one too many Blue Screens Of Death? Maybe those who had a killer case of D-pad thumb would fancy one styled after a Super Nintendo controller?

that's just totally sad...on a scale of 1 to 10 on the "look at me, I exist and believe I'm cool scale" that ranks as a 533....+12



and at the same time...as empty, valueless, momentary and forgetful as the cardboard is, how ironic

I'd lol if someone got burried in a "Blue Screen of Death" coffin, or a coffin with a Recycling Bin on it...
