Default An example of when you try to hard to do something

If you take the effort for what it is worth it was well intended. However...just a tad over the top.

Ummmm

You do know this happened in JAMAICA, right?

Have you ever heard of VOODOO WITCH DOCTORS???

Who is to say that this would not have been their son brought back from the dead if everything was allowed to unfold as the hotel planned?

But yeah, in the absence of a VOODOO resurrection ritual, That was in really bad taste.


Wonder if any of the local herbs had anything to do with the train of thought of those involved.

One would assume they were given the task of dressing the room and did not realize he was dead. Who has a room dressed for a dead person. The "effigy" was there to represent the sad person who couldn't be there. Taken out of context makes for a great story.

An unusual way of carrying out an unusual request. Hopefully the employees weren't reprimanded, I don't imagine they meant any harm.
