The corpse of Michael Jackson wants you to save water

I get the insight. But the execution just makes me think of his shrivelled corpse.

The fact that he played a zombie in that suit doesn't help.

The other two in the series — Madonna (alive, sort of) and Elvis (dead longer than many of my colleagues have lived) — are less creepy, but also awkward.

Some rock stars age better than others

The headline on this Dutch record fair campaign says "Discover just how great your old heroes still sound".

But I'm not so sure about that...

Dead since 1997

Dead since 1977

Half dead (and it was the good half, too)

Dead since 2009

Apparently retired

On tour

I get the concept. But the whole point of listening to those records is that they are frozen moments in time. On vinyl (or CD or MP3) Elvis is still The King. Bowie's whatever he was that year. The Beatles are both fab and gear. And they couple who do still play live are actually old, with thickened cocal cords and mellowed stage presence.

No, this campaign misses why records are so special. They are time machines. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
