News of the “Kurt Cobain wearing Docs in heaven” ads has made its way to Courtney Love, and she is, as you might expect, not pleased:

“Courtney had no idea this was taking place and would never have approved such a use,” her rep tells PEOPLE. “She thinks it’s outrageous that a company is allowed to commercially gain from such a despicable use of her husband’s picture.”

Especially since–according to British copyright law–she’s not entitled to any money from the picture! Clearly, the only way to rectify this is to sell another track to another video game.
