Comments on: Does This Offend You?

The only reason I felt weird about it was because I read of how Spade reacted to Farley's death. But 12 years later, I guess it was time to move on.

An actor's art is the scenes they played in. I don't really see this as distasteful, I'd rather see this than see a E! special on the tragedy that was his life and death.

As a quick followup, I read in an article that Farley's family and friends gave DirecTV permission to do the commercial and gave full support. Hey Jeff,

It felt like seeing the Billy Mays commercials still running after he died--just uncomfortable. I didn't think it was wrong or offensive, just weird because he obviously didn't give specific permission for them to use his image to endorse their product that way. “Unnerved” is the correct word for my reaction when I first saw the commercial.
