Courtney Love And Converse Exploit Kurt Cobain

Holy sellout, Batman! Kurt Cobain’s delusional and money-grubbing widow Courtney Love has authorized sneaker enthusiasts Converse to release a limited edition shoe baring the former Nirvana frontman’s lyrics, sketches, and signatures. What a great idea. I’m sure Kurt would be thrilled about his image being abducted, held for ransom, and used to market quasi-trendy footwear.

According to Brand Republic, the special release will coincide with Converse’s one hundred year anniversary. Great. Tune in next week when Herbal Essences announces a lemon-scented conditioner with Ernest Hemingway’s face emblazoned underneath the nutritional facts to celebrate the tenth birthday of the ‘she’s got the urge’ campaign.

Seriously, who will they exploit next? Hunter S. Thompson? Sid Vicious? Whoops, I forgot. They already hijacked those legacies to help move a few more goddamn pairs. Fuck you, Converse. And fuck you, Courtney Love. I hope you break your fucking necks on the way to the bank.
