Polish casket maker under fire for using sexy lingerie models to sell product

"My son had the idea of creating the company's calendar,” said the company’s owner Zbigniew Lindner, “so that we could show something half-serious, colorful, beautiful; the beauty of Polish girls and the beauty of our coffins.”

Linder hopes the sexual pictures will distance the coffin from theological significance in the minds of customers, who will also receive a complementary casket-shaped key ring, reported Reuters.

One could imagine that a young Gomez Addams would appreciate the beauty of women and coffins together, as Linder described. But not everyone shares Linder’s taste, to say the least.

A spokesperson for the Catholic Church said that death should not be treated so lightly and deemed the calendar inappropriate.
