Spotted this in-store advertisement today at a Ralphs in Venice. Yes, that’s a photo of a skinned human corpse. In the frozen food section. Ew.

Delightful. At least it wasn’t at the meat counter. Or, was it?
I loathe Ralphs. And their card. I don’t like having a bunch of cards in the wallet or nonsense on the key chain. Nor am I in the practice of reciting my ph# to the cashier. I also find in general I don’t enjoy trips to Ralphs.
Ralphs is only good for me for paper products an few various other things. Otherwise I keep to Trader Joe’s and sometimes Whole Foods.
The placement is indeed rank — and through my WTFinoculars I see the placard’s advertising the exhibition at a San Diego venue. Besides zombies, who the hell heading down that aisle to pick up some Healthy Choice entrees is going to see that and say “Fuck yeah!” Let’s drive a couple hours to go check out this show!”
Mr. Ralphs: Tear Down That Sign!
At least it was in the frozen food section not fresh meat.
Errr delightful – not. I don’t know how I feel about the Bodies Exhibition in general. They’re everywhere at the moment, and there are moral/ethical questions aplenty re procurement of those bodies to start with.
That is indeed in poor taste. However, I do love the Body Worlds exhibitions (not unaware of some of the controversy noted above).
Weird placement, yes. But the Body Worlds exhibit is amazing.
I’ve spent more time than I’d care to admit in a San Diego Ralphs over the past week and oddly enough I saw no such sign. Someone needs to fire the guys in advertising!
