If you’ve got a smartphone, tablet or a digital planner, you may think that printed calendars are becoming obsolete. But as the need for physical calendars diminishes, the more outlandish calendars are becoming.
With the arrival of 2014 just around the corner, if you’re going to buy a wall-mounted or desk calendar, now is the time to do it. Some of the most outrageous calendars to look out for include ones that are centred entirely around themes like Grumpy Cat, Bacon or Instagram.
For something a little crazier, there’s always the 2014 calendar full of NYC cab drivers. But the most controversial calendar for 2014 might be from Lindner, a company that sells coffins and decided to advertise its product by having nude women lay on its caskets in a series of photos for each month of the year.
