New John Lennon TV ad
New John Lennon TV ad
Yoko gave this Citroën car ad the thumbs up to use John's image and also for an actor to impersonate his voice.
I don't know, it feels disrespectful and just doesn't work for me.
What do you guys think?

I think Yoko needs to have some respect for John and stop selling him out posthumously.

Not retro? It's a french Mini cooper! That was a bad call on Yoko's part, I'm waiting for the Viagra commercial!

Re: New John Lennon TV ad
I've never joined in the Yoko bashing, but I don't like this at all.
(The voice is not close to John's, either)
I also dislike all the rest of the "anti retro" advertising which is all over the place here in France.

Yoko deserves to be bashed over the head for this one.... and for all her other disrespectful money grubbing stunts.
And I agree.... thats a terrible Lennon voice impersonation

The last place I'd expected to see John is in commercials for anything that's not Beatles. This ad is weird!

Nice job, Yokes..... 
Re: New John Lennon TV ad
This is just sad.
Re: New John Lennon TV ad
Yeah, I hate to see this, too. I don't think John would like it either. 
All I wanna do is rock!
Re: New John Lennon TV ad
That's horrible, but I guess I should expect it the way things are these days. Nothing is sacred.
