Suicide Bag

20 Jul 2006

In case you didn’t grew tired yet of seeing bags and bags and bags, here’s one that I hadn’t seen before. It’s a bag that should make people aware of suicide, but it totally missed the point, so it just looks like a creepy thing with an old man that hung himself. Yuck. There’s not even a brand or an organsation on it, so I don’t know for what kind of purpose it is.

I think the old man is smiling way too much to be hung. But that must be me. I know you’re not supposed to think of it that way, but I just can’t help it. He seems so happy. Maybe that’s the point. I don’t know.

Thanks for sending it in, Dave. Too bad there’s no credits (yet).

    I just think it’s funny. It should be an elderly lady with the words Mother-in-Law on it ;-)

    i always look at the pics before reading the text and suicide is the last thing i’d think about when i see such a massive grin. It looks like a smiling old man to me.

    Indeed, I totally agree that the message is not very well transmitted.
