John Lennon: New Advert: One Laptop per Child (OLPC)

John Lennon (1940 - 1980) is resurrected to flog the concept of the One Laptop - One Child, clever but a tad creepy

This is disgusting.  Shame on anyone to use John to try to sell things. One thing they never were was commercial.

Laptops? Don't kids need more important things, like food? And shelter? And clean drinking water?

'I'm so hungry Mommy!!! HELP ME!'

'Well hello there little girl! You look sad! I know what you want!'

'...Yes... Foo-'

'A laptop you say? There you go! Byee!!'

I'm deeply saddened (only comfort being it appears I'm not alone) at how many countless people will wind up thinking this is actually John Lennon's voice and message. In charge of John's legacy and estate, I'm stupefied that Yoko allowed OLPC to go ahead with this advert but without so much as a disclaimer that it's neither her husband's voice nor his words. No matter WHAT the organization does for kids, this is offensive and all about money, not education.

*shiver* Sooo creepy....

Just give them some books instead. They need better things, like food or shelter.

[drrobertoboogie97]

Fuck Yoko Ono for letting them use John's image for this commercial

@TheDeadPlayers nothing shows how much his wife loved him more than making him work after death, to make her money!
