Baseball Coffins? picturesAdvanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 14 image entries
Contest Directions:  [In the heat of baseball season, fans now have another opportunity to
show their true colors by purchasing caskets and urns bearing logos of their favorite
baseball teams. ]
You think, I'm joking, right? So I thought,
until I've seen the news. Turns out the demand for baseball-themed
coffins is huge and many fans literally want to die for their teams.
Here's what I think, folks. All of us die hard baseball fans should buy
caskets of the teams our team (Detroit Tigers) plays against. Then we
bring these caskets to a game to show what will happen to these "other
teams" - give them a sneak-preview before each game. Then, as Tigers
"bury" other teams one by one, we can all celebrate the funerals, and
leave them resting in peace until the next season. Of course when they
get out of coffins next season they will have to change their team
names - like "New York Draculas", "Boston Blood Sox", or "Philadelphia
NecroPhillies". Yeah, that's what baseball is all about - beating each
other with baseball bats and dying for a championship.
In this contest you are asked to give paint-jobs to coffins and urns
with logos of current US baseball teams. In addition to paint jobs
(but not instead of them) you may decorate (flowers, trophies) funeral
industry to make it baseball-team based.

| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | Each year, many enthusiastic baseball fans say that they would die for their favorite team to win a championship. Some have wondered how willing they would be to take their devotion to their favorite team to the grave. Now they can. Major League Baseball together with a company that makes funeral products will soon be marketing urns and coffins with the team colors and insignia from different Major League Baseball teams including: New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers. Major League Baseball has announced the formation of a licensing agreement between the League and Eternal Image which plans ultimately to make urns and casket for all thirty teams. Funeral industry revenues are estimated to be $11 billion annually when the plan gets fully up and running. The National Funeral Directors Association is meeting this week and will get a preview of the urns and caskets with the baseball themes. The first batch of urns will be available at the beginning of 2007, coffins to follow later in the year. |
