Israel Anti-Drug Authority admitted to exploiting singer Amy Winehouse in their campaign and have issued an official apology according to the Jerusalem Post. 

Following the singer’s death in August, the anti-drug authority had launched a campaign with a tagline of “it’s really uncool to die at age 27”, referring to multiple celebrities that passed away at that age including Winehouse. 

Upon receiving news that Winehouse’s death wasn’t due to drugs as well as numerous complaints from Winehouse fans, the Authority apologized for its “cynical use of her death…we are also sorry for exploiting her death for the advertising campaign” said Ya’ir Geller to JP.

What’s the practical difference between alchohol toxicity and other drug toxicity?

And how much of a stretch is it to link drug abuse to Amy Winehouse’s death? Is it just a coincidence? If it wasn’t a proximate cause it was definitiely in the mix. Did Amy Winehouse die of old age? Did any of the other members of the 27 Club die of old age? Are we not allowed to mention their names without permission from their fan clubs?

And what’s with the exploitation? How about if we held a seance and asked Amy Winehouse if it’s OK to use her name.
‘Speak to us, Amy… ‘
‘Well, when Janice Joplin said ‘Hi’, and I noticed Jimi Hendrix chatting with Keith Moon, all I could say was ‘Oh, sh!t!’
