John Lennon footage to be a part of Charity Advertisement
Late Beatle John Lennon is all set to appear in a TV commercial for charity some twenty eight years his death. Well of course I’m not saying John Lennon himself but footage of his will be used in a commercial which is directed at promoting a new campaign launched on Thursday to deliver solar-powered laptop computers to the world’s poorest children.
The advertisement is part of the promotions for the One Laptop per Child Foundation, the foundation was created in 2005, a voice dubbed over images of Lennon recalls the sentiment of his 1971 hit song Imagine. This is the same foundation that started producing the XO series of laptops at the end of last year at a manufacturing cost less than $200 per machine.
Hey that’s really not the thing to do, there are enough good people that exist in this universe who would have done a great job for this cause but to use John’s image and song and then mix it and have a voice being dubbed really sounds as if either his real voice would not go down so well with today’s generation or something else.
Not a really smart thing to do I would say.
