Courtney Love vs. Doc Martens

It looks like Courtney Love is ticked at Doc Marten. The famous easy wearing shoe company is using photographs of Joe Strummer, Kurt Cobain Sid Vicious, and Joey Ramone. What For? Their new advertising campaign for Doc Marten shoes is causing uproar.

Pictures of Joe Strummer, Kurt Cobain, Sid Vicious, and Joey Ramone grace magazine ads and television. People are angry with the Rock Stars that Doc Marten has decided to choose saying that it's blasphemy towards Christians and glorifies music, drugs, violence and death.

Courtney Love should have just realized that Doc Martens are associated with rock, classic rock, punk and more. She should have gone to the advertisement company herself and worked with them.
