— October 14, 2009 — Naughty
Italian coffin manufacturer CofaniFunebri specializes in the art of coffin-crafting. Although their line of hardwood coffins, sarcophagus's, cinerary urns and handycraft-items may not be considered hardcore; their 2010 calendar featuring scantily dressed gothic models posing with the coffins certainly could be.

Implications - The calendar's images portray the models in clothing that is either black, white or red. The models look quite cozy posing next to coffins, while trouncing around in their leathery undergarments. CofaniFunebri's take on advertising is definitely different and is a surefire way to get noticed.
