NuevaVida -> RE: John Lennon in new commercial (12/30/2008 7:10:30 AM)

My thoughts: Sure maybe he would have supported/done this if he were alive - - BUT HE'S DEAD. Good lord, we're going to impersonate his voice (which was a bad impersonation, btw) and put up a blurried vision of him looking like he's saying something he's not? Seriously, we couldn't find someone ALIVE to do this??
If you want to pull out work he's already done, words he's already said, images he's already created - go for it. But this, I feel, is in poor taste. Then again, I never had much respect for Yoko anyway...this does not surprise me.
I like Mark Rawden's take on it: http://www.cinemablend.com/music/Ono-Licenses-Lennon-s-Image-14290.html
"Honestly, I know she was married to Lennon, but she shouldn’t own his memory. If I die and my wife agrees to let PETA use my writing to get the masses to stop eating bacon, I’ll come back from the grave and strangle the bitch with my bare hands."
