The campaign apparently has something to do with the boots being "made to last," and the ad agency that made them (Saatchi &amp; Saatchi) <a href="http://thedailyswarm.com/swarm/tasteless/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">stood by the images</a>, calling them "edgy." Meanwhile, the Dr Martens company is denying they had anything to do with the ads being run and has actually <a href="http://thedailyswarm.com/swarm/exclusive-dr-martens-saatchi-youre-fired/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">fired Saatchi</a> as a result of their poor judgment. It's pretty obvious Cobain would have never agreed to this so what do you think? Are these ads offensive?</p> <p><span class="inline left"></span></p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/Kurt-CobainDoc-Martens-Ads-Offensive-275251" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Are the Kurt Cobain/Doc Martens Ads Offensive?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-275251" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-275251" name="edit[choice]" value="0-275251" class="form-radio" /> Yes</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-275251" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-275251" name="edit[choice]" value="1-275251" class="form-radio" /> No</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-2-275251" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-2-275251" name="edit[choice]" value="2-275251" class="form-radio" /> Undecided</label> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[nid]" id="edit-nid" value="275251" /> <span class='button'><span class='button_copy'><input class='fancybutton' type='submit' name="op" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /></span></span> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-form_id" value="epoll_view_voting" /> </div> </div></form> <!-- no strip poll --> http://www.buzzsugar.com/Kurt-CobainDoc-Martens-Ads-Offensive-275251#comment Music Buzz Poll Kurt Cobain Doc Martens Dr Martens Fri, 25 May 2007 09:29:12 PDT BuzzSugar http://www.buzzsugar.com/Kurt-CobainDoc-Martens-Ads-Offensive-275251 http://www.fabsugar.com/Instagram-Fashion-Pictures-May-21-25-2012-23264499 <a href="http://www.fabsugar.com/Instagram-Fashion-Pictures-May-21-25-2012-23264499"><img width=160 height=160 src='http://media1.onsugar.com/files/2012/05/21/5/192/1922564/231b30f3ae09f18e_Gap_Shades.large.jpeg' /></a><p>No need for an iPhone - we're sharing our favorite Instagram snaps right here to offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse of our week.
