Plastic Won't Die: Branding Bin Laden

The Copyranter blog has rounded up some of the wackier uses of Osama bin Laden's image by brand marketers.

Examples of Osamadvertising include Hall's cough drops; Beta express shipping; a condom ad by Doc Morris, a German mailorder pharmacy; Range Rover; for a Samsung musical smartphone; and Belgium's Humo satire magazine.

And at right? That's a public service warning/statue that popped up in India last year.

The stern-looking (and very tall) bin Laden statue campaign was erected by officials in New Delhi to warn locals about the polluting evils of using plastic bags with the message, "Plastic won't die."
