Jimmystagger foists upon us all the new Doc Martens ad campaign in the UK. It's pretty much the late 20th century equivalent of those airbrushed posters featuring James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis hanging out at a neon-chrome diner named "Legends" or something.

Actually, it's worse than that, given the fact that these are actual ads for the boots. Once again dead people are dragged out, devoid of all irony, to sell products. Hmm. I think we need an antidote:

BRING ON ALEXEI SAYLE AND RADICAL POSTURE!

It's not class or ideology
Color, creed or roots
The only thing that unites us
Is Dr. Martens boots!

OH! DON'T YOU WANT ME!

Don't want no Doc Martens
Can't wear no Birkenstocks
Just a crummy old pair of chucka boots
and a smelly old pair of socks

Oh thank you I needed that! YOUR BOOTS WILL HAVE A MEETING. YOUR BOOTS WILL TAKE CONTROL.

Those ads are disgusting.

ALEXEI SAYLE IS EVERYWHERE

Weird. I just watched that about three days ago. I've been playing my Young Ones dvds in the kitchen while doing housework.

"Me dad was a bit of a Communist, you know what I mean?"

I'm not sure which musician I admire more in Radical Posture: the guy playing the hexagonal synth drums, or the Lol Tolhurst-style keyboardists.

I'm not foisting anything, I'm alerting my fellow...uh, whatever you are out there (besides friends) to this horror and miscarriage of justice.

Someone at DM and whoever in the respective estates who allowed this to happen should be shot.

Those ads are disgusting. Not because they are using the dead rockers, but because of the ridiculous photoshopping.

I hope Sid's mum got a lot of cash for this.

If Sid Vicious is in heaven, I'm buying an umbrella.

It appears that the persons responsible have been sacked.
