Amy Winehouse Anti-Drugs Poster Causes Swiss Scandal

As reported by Swiss newspaper The Local, the poster shows an image of Winehouse next to the slogan "No -- to the decriminalisation of drugs."
The poster has been made by a section of the Young SVP in the Unterwallis area, with the SVP reportedly known for stirring up controversy. They have in the past released a poster showing a black sheep being kicked off the Swiss flag by a white one, alongside the slogan "For More Security."
President of the Young SVP Unterwallis Gregory Logean seems a little confused over the controversy surrounding the reference to Amy Winehouse, who passed away on July 23 at her North London home.
He said, "The death of Amy Winehouse put a sad reality before our eyes that other parties often forget -- the harmful effects of drug consumption. It is not our methods which are shocking -- it is reality. We are displaying a photo that the whole world already knows. Winehouse was known not only for her songs, but above all for her drug excesses."

August 09 2011 at 8:47 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyJust my opinion but she was ugly,tried to look as freaky as possible,had no talent and her personal life was a mess.
Since she brought her death upon herself I don't feel sympathetic and am tired of reading about her.
Who cares what photos were on the posters,no one who cares about themselves would look like she did. She can't help having an ugly face but the rest of her appearance was within her control.
yous dont like her why comment fking dochers

get a life scum bitch
Were the crack and heroin she allegedly died from "legal" ?
The truth is , that if you want you can get drugs. If they were made legal we could save billions of dollars spent on enforcement and imprisonment , give these addicts care on demand and take all the violence out of drug dealing. Since the abolition of prohibition you don't see liquor store owners shooting each other on the streets.
How many of you, if heroin was made legal today , would run right out and take a shot ? Not many I believe.
talent? since when is smoking a crack pipe a talent? another inked up crack W****

A message, I am sure Miss Winehouse would like to leave the world with, from her passing. She was a great talent, but like so many others in the past, drugs killed her. Drug addiction is a horrible thing to live with, it effects not only the addict , but everyone around you that loves and cares for you. RIP Miss Winehouse.
