As Seen at Your Funeral: A Giant Statue of You at Work

Posted on the 08 December 2014 by Jennifervillamere
Hockey hero Jean Béliveau is a national treasure and is rightfully being recognized in the wake of his passing last week. But photos from the public viewing underway at the Bell Centre in Montreal made me wonder what it would be like if you were celebrated à la Béliveau.
Check this out:

What if your public viewing took place where you work, festooned with banners blaring your employer's corporate brand identity and there was a big, striking statue of you doing your job? (Picture a huge sculpture of you frowning at a spreadsheet on your monitor.)
Because when you break it down, that's what's happening here. A statue of Béliveau doing his job, flanked by his employer's logo. And there's his casket.

Maybe flowers arranged to depict your business card.

If you replace the Habs' logo with, say, IBM's, then it starts to feel very '1980s Japanese business culture,' doesn't it?
What a weird culture we're doing here.
