I'm with Tuff and ATPG on this one. They're rehashing old material, and reusing it; was that Beatles commercial they recently aired for Rock Band in bad taste? Since John Lennon, and George Harrison were both in it.
How about any spoofs made off of books by Dead Authors? Honestly, I don't think they care, and I hardly find it disrespectful.
Had they ended the Commercial with "Don't you wish that Chris Farley never died of a drug overdose?" that would have been in bad taste.

So dead people have feelings, too?
It's only meaningful because people still value them, this thread is about how other people think that is rather illogical. I'm not saying that necrophilia is not really weird but this isn't necrophilia anyway, they're just using old clips for an ad, they use all sorts of things for ads, especially things that draw attention to that ad, like clips of dead people...![]()

My take-away from this conversation is: Madison Ave guys have no soul, and like Husar says, they'll use any gimmick to get and hold our attention.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
