Does anyone else think this has gotten out of hand?

Apparently an artist Natascha Stellmach plans to smoke Kurt Cobain's ashes in a joint.

What the fuck. Does anyone else find this extremely offensive? I don't care if he's dead, and she somehow managed to legally obtain those ashes, but she still shouldn't deserve the right to destroy the only remains of someone like that.

I'm not even sure how to really react to that :/
This is going in my sig. :)

I'm not disturbed by the fact that she's destroying his ashes (Can you even smoke ash? I'm fairly sure that won't work) it just seems dumb.

Also isn't this technically cannibalism.

Consuming another human in another way or form...yeah, I'd say so.

Endocannibalism: Consuming the reamains of a cremated body.

There are tribes in South America that practice this as a way to keep the dead part of them.
