Love throws shoes at Dr Martens

Courtney Love is having an angry at Doc Martens, the shoe company, who have slapped Kurt Cobain in a shoe advert, featuring him sat in heaven wearing boots.

Courtney is outraged that anyone (other than herself) should be milking Kurt's corpse but she does have a point this time. The tacky little campaign also features Joey Ramone and, even more cheerfully, Sid Vicious. Doc Martens - the boot of choice for all your heroin-addled woman-murdering needs.

There's also a poster featuring Joe Strummer, apparently. Funny that they couldn't find an celebrity endorsement with a pulse.

There's been a bit of a stench coming from Martens for the last decade or so - when it's not using corpses in its advert, it's using them to excuse making penny-pinching decisions. In 2002, it blamed the US terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001 for throwing 140 people on the dole in Northamptonshire when, really, the motivation was to exploit cheaper Chinese labour.
