This promo calendar for an Italian coffin manufacturer has been doing the blog-rounds recently — and the more eagled-eyed viewer might have wondered at the words MIKE LEAVE ME ALONE written on the back of the last model.
Well, wonder no more — an italian Forteana subscriber, Giuseppe de Nicolellis, has got to the bottom of it. Case closed!

The webmaster of www.cofanifunbri.it has just answered my enquiry. He published the image more than an year ago without the writing. A few months ago he received this e-mail from a website offering adult contents for webmasters:
Do you have a license to use this image? I do not have a license on file for:
Registrant: Matteucci Maurizio (COFANIFUNEBRI-DOM) Villa Bastilica, 30 Roma, 00148 IT
Please let me know if you have purchased the license under a different name, or please remove the image from your site.
Thanks, Mikey PhoenixContent.com

Our webmaster decided to suggest him politely to f..ck off adding the writing on the back of the lady.
(Our webmaster didn’t explain whether he really stole the image from the website or not, and I didn’t dare to ask).
Another Fortean Mystery solved!
