Free FUNERAL & free LAPTOP

I'm sure this will cause a stir, but laptopsdirect are offering free funerals in return for sponsorship (including a logo on the priest's collar :eek:). There are various options to choose, some even include a free laptop. From website...

In these difficult credit-crunch times we understand that it’s not easy to give your loved ones the send off they deserve. With funerals costing up to £5000 it makes sense to get help.That’s why we’ve put together this unique sponsorship package, giving you the opportunity to cover all your costs.
We will help you pay for some, or all of the funeral expenses, depending on the package you choose. We have a range of subtle and tasteful sponsorship positions available throughout the service each bringing you a contribution cost. Please note that in order for us to be able to offer this service we do require a minimum of 50 mourners, this ensures we will get the exposure required to cover the cost of the sponsorship.
All our sponsorship opportunities are designed to be non intrusive to the proceedings. We can tailor the list of options to your requirements giving you complete control of the service. You will have a dedicated funeral assistant at Laptops Direct who can help with any queries you may have.
What do I do next?
If you would like Laptops Direct to support the organisation of a funeral please send the following details to [EMAIL="freefunerals@laptopsdirect.co.uk"]freefunerals@laptopsdirect.co.uk[/EMAIL] for a contribution quote:

Please note that due to the large volume of requests we receive it may take up to seven working days for a reply.

    Lighten up guys! It's a tad satirical is all.

    Tame if anything when compared to our friends on The Now Show, Day to Day etc.

    Remember, death isn't the end of the world! Unless it's your own, obviously :)
