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???

They’re trying to be outrageous to stir up controversy. They just want their name in the spotlight. Looks like they’re getting desperate.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
