Creepy marketing stunt

Looks like some marketing companies as running out of ideas, as they are trying to shock everyone by incorporating death into gaming. Yeah, death is already present in games, you might say, but in the form of animated characters...Would you like to see a real-life coffin, or a real funeral?

Apparently, some consider being in a funeral FUN. The 24th of November marked the funeral of the air guitar, the controller of the Guitar Hero game. This funeral tool place in an East London funeral parlour, while a church organist and a choir were performing "More Than a Felling" and "Heart Shaped Box".

Everyone weeped but was also glad because its replacement was born. The air guitar will be replaced by the Guitar Hero SG Controller, a replica of the Gibson SG guitar. Maybe you will get it and play "Stairway to heaven" for the late air guitar controller.

If you get the new Guitar Hero II game you can also play on your new controller, classic songs from legendary bands like Megadeth, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Van Hales, Nirvana, Kiss Motley Crue, Anrax, Jane's Addiction, Guns 'N Roses, Iggy Pop and the Stooges and more.
