I cant see the ad from work, but I assume its fat guy little coat with spade? I dont see how anyone can call that tasteless. Is it tasteless to play comedy just because a comedian has died? If so, should we not watch movies anymore after the actors have died? I dont understand why its tasteless. Farley was and still is hilarious.

What because Chris Farley was a paragon of taste while he was alive?

They used a comedic clip in a comedic way....

I agree. This whole issue is blown out of proportion. As long as Farley's family was okay with it, that is what really matters. This was not done in bad taste. GOOD & FUNNY commercial!

I think Farley would have thought it was funny and honoring him.

I don't find it tasteless at all. I doubt Chris Farley would either.

No way, Farley is hilarious. Besides, Spade was a friend of his so it's a fitting tribute.

A couple of weeks ago on a local radio station here in the desert they were discussing this on air. The DJ's seemed to find it offensive and in poor taste. I can see both sides of the issue. Personally, it doesn't bother me.
