way to manipulate the words of president Eisenhower in his Military-Industrial Complex Speech. His words are a prayer not a prophecy of the inevitability of peace!! He you stripped away its political context and flipped it into a marketing tool--DON'T YOU REALIZE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT YOUR COMPANY AND THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS! this ad exemplifies everything thats wrong with our world.!
Ok, using John Lennon's song is a great idea, BUT why did U cut out other lyrics that could Apply 2 "Bringing people 2GETHER"? What about these other lyrics "Imagine All the People Living Life in Peace" & THEN go 2 "U may say...." OR why couldn't U use ESPECIALLY THIS: "Imagine All the People SHARING All the World" & THEN go 2 "U may say...."?? I think adding these other lyrics would have made UR message a little more stronger still giving UR "bringing the WORLD 2GETHER"
@monaovation Thanks for the feedback. I totally see where you're coming from and can tell you're passionate about music. Thanks for making this video a favorite on your profile. Did you hear Beatles music is now available on iTunes- how do you feel about that? I have been hearing some mixed feedback.
Thanks for your comments everyone. It's clear this song is powerful and resonates with many people on a personal level. This is why I love it too. The purpose of all CiscoTelePresence technology is to bring people geographically far away, closer to one another- to bring the world together as one.
Actually I heard the money for the rights to this song went to some of his charities.... Sadly some kids don't even know who John Lennon was- hopefully videos like this will spark interest and make people want to buy more of his and other Beatles music through iTunes or whatever. I love that this song is being used :)
How is this "great?" This is AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who authorized the commercial use of this song? It's iconic and should not be used in advertising. Is nothing sacred? Was it Yoko? Sad. I always figured someone would come along and rip off this song for advertising. Congrats, Cisco, for being the first a-hole to ruin it. I'm disgusted. Ugh....
i love this song :)

Way to ignore the intention of the song and edit it to into a twisted unrecognisable version.
