Truly tasteless juxtapositions

3D PHOTO SPECIAL GLASSES INSIDE!

In any circumstance, accessorizing that kind of cover story with that kind of ad would be, ahem, unfortunate.

But this holds particularly true for People magazine's cover story on Natasha Richardson, a classy actress (and, by the accounts of those who knew her, a classy human being) who passed away far too young.

But wait, there's more...The contextual ad generator for Gawker (which blogged about this) drew up a banner ad for the show "Head Case" next to this post.

(What - no ski resort promo, too?)

And the final indignity: "RIP" next to "John and Jen: Who Dumped Who?"
