Imagine all the children
With laptops on their knees;
Pounding on their keyboards,
But without Vista, please...

I don't care how charitable it is, literally putting words in someone's mouth like that after they're dead is a pretty dick thing to do. Particularly given that it's commenting on his work. Did the professional widow sign off on this?

Also, from what I've read OLC is a complete waste of money that does very little to actually help any one.

I agree with this. It's farking corpse rape, no matter what cause it's done for, and it's shameful.

That's cool. What else is Lennon doing these days? He hasn't released any new songs in quite a while.

I tried to do it through my music, but now you can do it in a very different way

Unless, of course, you've been dead for 28 years. Like me. John Lennon. Oh by the way, what is a laptop?

I am conflicted:

On the one hand, this is one of the more ghoulish things I've
ever heard of (Arigato, Yoko-san!). On the other: If John
had lived long enough, he might have gone for it, and I'd like
to think that even a harpy like Yoko Ono wouldn't have done
something like this lightly.

I've got to come down on her side with this, reluctantly.

Allow me to rewrite the headline for accuracy's sake:
"Former Attention Whore Yoko Ono has agreed to rip off her husband's memory and sell it out for a fat tax break, just before filing her taxes this year "

Sadly no, "Independence Day" Judd Hirsch.

So, has Yoko spent all the money she got for letting Bob Zemeckis do this shiat to John in "Forrest Gump?"

Or maybe she just thinks it is something John would have done if he was still alive. Given the probable thousands of requests she has gotten to use Lennon's likeness, words, songs, voice over the years, I would say she's been pretty circumspect and considerate with it.

Well, at least they don't have him dancing with a vacuum cleaner!

 
unitednihilists 2008-12-29 03:36:09 PM  
It could be worse, his image could be used to sell Mac products.... oh wait, that's been done.

Makes me want to puke everytime I see it.

John Lennon has become a brand that people can use to sell T-shirts. Also, the man was a pretty big douchebag, so a lot less people should admire him than actually do. It's astonishing.

 
AdolfOliverPanties [TotalFark] 2008-12-29 05:35:14 PM  
He was a reformed douchebag. In the last years of his life he walked his "peace and love" talk.

I don't think I've ever read anything that made me hate Yoko any less.
