Dead Celebs Sell Junk

December 30th, 2008 2 Comments

Apparently this ad with John Lennon selling the One Laptop Per Child is upsetting some people. Folks, from the minute Fred Astaire sold a Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner and Gene Kelly sold a VW, that was the sign that the jig was up.

    In a way, I’m not surprised. Elvis and Marilyn made it clear that fame doesn’t die when the person does, and that it’s profitable to boot. Both have apparently made more dead than alive, which makes bizarre sense because there’s no longer the expense of actually caring for a living talent. So the survivors of other no longer living legends are noticing and cashing in on the phenomenon as well.

    “…that was the sign that the jig was up.”

    Oliver, you’re shameless.
