Hades is in the groove
Well, as I can recall, the dead have been selling products for a while now. The first time I remember this happening was when they had John Wayne in a beer commercial.

The commercial opens up with a drill Sargent grilling a line up of his soldiers over the generals missing six pack of brew (which I forget the brand, but that's besides the point). Eventually, the sarge gets the brew back, but as he is holding the pilfered suds, General John Wayne (ya-Haw) finds the sarge holding the goods and gives him a stern "Sargent! What are YOU doing with my *insert beer brand here*!!"

The first time I saw this commercial, I thought, "Whoa! How'd dey doo dat!" After a few more viewings, I just thought, "Now how hard up is the family of the late John Wayne family to allow this to happen?"

While it is very creative to be able to use computer tech to bring back the great actors and historical figures and place them into modern situations, I really think that folks should remember them for what they did in their lifetime and not what people have made them do after they have gone. Things could get very ugly if the greats are given to those with less than flattering ideas.
