Talk about shameless

[Culookin]

Saw this a few times on TV and it made me :mad: Who recreates a scene from a movie classic with a dead guy... totally shameless :mad:

YouTube- DirecTV | "Tommy Boy"

YouTube- More Dead Celebrity Ads

Farley's family agreed to the ad and his brother calls it "an honor to my brother"... yeah, more like an honor to your uckfing BANK ACCOUNT.

In this siituation, no matter how memorable the scene being recreated is, I don't think I'd want potential customers to associate my product with a dead person.

WELL now there's been a lot of delebs this year

I dunno, I don't see the harm in it.
Here, we have a company that brings movies into your home, and uses an established and funny movie scene to help promote it.

Do you turn a movie off if you know an actor in it is no longer alive? Of course not. It's still just a movie, and your decision to watch isn't based on that....why should watching an ad be?

Yes, Farley's no longer with us, but the movie is still alive and well. That is an entirely separate entity. If anyone should be ashamed for that ad, it should be David Spade. A classic example of "selling out".

Farley was an attention whore when he was alive, and God bless him, I doubt he minds the airtime post-mortem as well.

I'm honestly amazed that Spade has a career in the first place - but I guess that's another thread. :lol:
