Locals Upset At "The Walking Dead" Billboard Next To Funeral Home


An ad for AMC's The Walking Dead in County Durham, England has people gravely upset. As you can see from the picture above, the billboard for the popular post-apocalyptic zombie drama is positioned right next to The Co-operative Funeralcare home.
Clear Channel Advertising, the firm who placed the ad released a statement saying, "We apologize for any offense caused by the unfortunate juxtaposition of this ad. It was certainly not intended. We have arranged to have it moved right away."

Now those are some ad people who really know their target demographic.
