Some viewers are upset with DirecTV's newest commercial, a recreation of a scene in "Tommy Boy" that combines new footage of David Spade interacting with Chris Farley, who died of a drug overdose in 1997. In the classic scene from the 1995 comedy, a present-day Spade dismisses Farley's antics with the sarcastic remark, "Never gets old." Viewers on YouTube called the spot "distasteful" and a "stupid idea."It's consistent with DirecTV's long-running ad campaign that features actors in their famous movie roles -- such as Sigourney Weaver in "Alien" and Charlie Sheen in "Major League" -- stepping out of the scene and addressing the TV audience about the benefits of satellite television service. However, this is the second consecutive DirecTV spot that has featured a dead performer: Craig T. Nelson reprised his role from "Poltergeist" in a commercial that featured Heather O'Rourke, who died tragically in 1988 at the age of 12 after her haunting delivery of the line "They're heeeeeere" became part of the popular vernacular.
what do you think of these commercial, and how people are finding them disgusting? are they just over reacting? or not? |

Well I certainly hope the estates of the deceased actors are getting a piece of the action on this. There is big money in the estates of a lot of dead performers. Some have made way more money dead then they dreamed of when they were alive.
