LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Imagine John Lennon spinning in his grave.

ADVERTISEMENT

The ex-Beatle, who was murdered over 25 years ago, is the latest subject of a pay-per-view seance arranged by the producers of a 2003 attempt to contact the dead Princess Diana. That show made money but was slammed by critics as hitting a new low in television tastelessness.

"People say this is disgusting, and I accept that criticism, but we're making a serious attempt to do something that many, many millions of people around the world think is possible," said Paul Sharratt, who heads Starcast Productions, which made "The Spirit of Diana." That show drew over half a million U.S. viewers willing to pay $14.95 to watch it.

This is a shock to someone? They will put anything on TV if they think there is an audience for it. Sadly it has lead to a serious decline in quality programs.

Yup, we gotta bring back the quality stuff like My Mother The Car. TV is in such a decline these days.

$14.95....that's more than some people paid to see him when he was alive.

Possible but is it morally acceptable?
