What makes the Chris Farley spot different from the other celebs you listed is that it features his co-star interacting in the commercial with him. <br /><br />Chubskulit: Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />Dane: When I first saw the commercial, I kinda figured Farley's family gave their permission. Shortly after posting the poll, this was confirmed. Even though they gave consent, it still doesn't necessarily make it a good idea. As I said before, I'm not outraged by the commercial. :-)Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-77213203916972578732009-10-31T10:59:45.455-04:002009-10-31T10:59:45.455-04:00The Farley family gave them their blessing.

I don't mind seeing deceased celebs when they have been dead for a long time, like Elvis or someone. But when it has been less than like 15 years, it's weird and kind of creeps me out.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337332699775291001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-20667856853460791902009-10-26T14:24:14.598-04:002009-10-26T14:24:14.598-04:00It is a little creepy..I don't know if it'...It is a little creepy..I don't know if it's poor taste..just creepy..Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178833067912940139noreply@blogger.com
