Do you think that the Chinese government would allow an unfiltered connection to another country? I would imagine that the communist party would restrict access to who could be in front of a screen like that. They would be afraid of someone making some kind of political statement.
although i don't believe this wasn't what lennon would've ever had in mind, this song goes nice with the commercial though it may disagree with the artists beliefs. Although I was happy to hear this near forgotten Lennon song other than huge Beatles/Lennon Fans, Lennon may not have agreed with it's use so my thoughts are clearly mixed =/
@yetinaut ~ Speaking of fucking pigs. ANY one who stands up for a commercialized John Lennon song, well, I think the public has spoken. Take a dirt nap scum.
@skeletoys Listen, ok. This advertisement was not made by Cisco. It was made by and advertising company for Cisco. And advertising company filled with artists who have a vision and create art in the form of commercials. I hate all those people who make assumption on what John Lennon /would have/ done. He's dead. Get over it. Any one who has the rights to his songs gets to make the decisions
@skeletoys and frankly I'm glad that it's being used in an ad for a product that can help connect societies and bring a sort of peace of used correctly. Who cares if Cisco gets money from it. Some of the greatest achievements in mankind's recent history have been accomplished by companies, who are made up of actual people doing beautiful things, I might add. Don't tell me I'm a pig because I can see beauty in things you can't just because your to idiotically blinded by bias.
@yetinaut Who the fuck do you think you are pretending to make decisions for an artist as hugely greater than you as John Lennon. I repeat myself: you should lie down and die.
It is "pig brother"--and i think that john has rolled over in his grave--or was he cremated??--anyway, you get my point--i don't think he would've sold out to commercials; but as a fan, i freaked when i heard it---i loved this song in college and i'm almost 50 years old, i was very pleasantly surprised and enjoy it everytime the ad comes on---good choice CISCO!!
OK, Not really sure if John wanted to write songs for commericals in 2009, I do know for a fact that he never wanted to be a Vegas Singer who sing his great hits from yesteryear in the Vegas trip venues.

Okay, you're right -- I just looked on the actual lyrics sheet on the actual album.
What the heck do you suppose "pig brother" means -- especially when "Big Brother" makes sense!?

I saw this commercial today during the innaguration, I thought it sounded like John Lennon but I wasn't sure.
