For Discussion: Companies Using Death to Market their Product
Posted by Bossip Staff
Everyone is in the market to make money the best way that they can, but is it okay for a company to satire death? Some people feel that Direct TV is taking it too far… What do you think???

I hate satellite!!
They’re trying to be outrageous to stir up controversy. They just want their name in the spotlight. Looks like they’re getting desperate.
Finally, first!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!
oh hell no they no better than that
wait this is fake and not from direct tv. Bossip do ur research please and thank you.
Only Bossip would think this is real. That’s some quality writing there. Hey! Have you guys heard about that kid who’s up flying in a balloon?!
@Betty Boop,

disgusted
I dnt see anything wrong with those commercial
Yeah that’s a bit overboard lol. “Forgive them father for not switching to Direct Tv” lol wtf
this is a damn shame real or not. if it is from direct tv they should fire the entire ad exec team and if it isn’t there is a hot spot in hell waiting.
Love them all!
ya’ll are stupid if you think its real. they did this because of the commercial with Chris Farley. Its a joke!
p.s. its NOT from directv, its one of those college humour type sites…
I actually did see one with chris farley though…
and it was real
This isn’t real. The Farley one was but this is a parody of DirecTV’s pimping of dead celebrities to sell their products. Swing and a miss, Bossip!
they have got to be kidding me
i mean seriously?
That is just sick~!!

capt’n backslap

co-sign-this is a fake
It actually STARTED with the little girl (Carol Ann) from Poltergeist. She p*****ed away years ago. So people protested using her in a Direct TV commercial. Now Chris Farley fans are complaining about the use of his image because he’s dead (even though his FAMILY ok’d it). They are actually saying that the commercial is disrespectful. It’s a famous scene from a movie that HE starred in. If he had some respectful work the commercial may have been more respectful. But he starred in goofy movies so the commercial is going to be goofy. Chile Bye!
Doubt Direct TV would run this.Looks like a spoof from someone outside the company.The JFK spot hit the funny bone.Clearly they did’nt have the budget to hire a full beard Jesus.
Either way, who gives a rat’s @ss? Is it really that important?
@ RAWRR
if you click on the video and let it take you to youtube you will see that this was NOT put out by DIrect TV
i work for directv…clearly not a commercial..relegion doesnt play a role in business…o im not a technician for the smart ppl
I think that most companies take it too far all for the love of money and the control over people wants, desires and habits… They think that they have many fooled and they do but not all…
Bossip is so dumb, when you scroll over it, it even says it’s a parody. Bossip who writes for you, ever heard of fact checking, no…..because this site is by a bunch of stupid hacks.
Ok let’s come down from our high horse for a moment. No one seems to complain that you can’t even get past the first verse in a rap song before someone gets killed. Yet we are supposed to be up at arms about this? At lease they keep it on TV unlike our community where you can see the utter disregard for life every night on the eleven o clock news. Stop pointing fingers Bossip and try to write something that is encouraging for once.
it is called dark comedy ha ha
no worse than the “live by the creed” commercials for *****asin’s Creed video games. truly morbid advertising.
Directv Is owned by that Devil Rupert Murdoch. All he promotes Is Death, thru his various media outlets Fox, My*****e, Directv. Racism, Satanism, Debauchery and White supremacy are the order of the day
