New John Lennon TV ad

Post by Soulsaman »

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! :wink:

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

I think he'll feature in Victory Secrets by summer... :?

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

Yeah, I hate to see this, too. I don't think John would like it either. :(

That's horrible, but I guess I should expect it the way things are these days. Nothing is sacred.
