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?

Peace, Love, and Cool Luxury Cars......yeah, ok.

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!

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

Sounds more like Liam Gallagher. Sheesh!

Apart from not making this ad, they could have at least used his music!!

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!

Nice job, Yokes.....

This is just sad.

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.
