Grave Robbing

[mrtrivia]

This is terrible and indefensible. No one needed the money. No one needed the publicity. As it seems Yoko has to sign off on this grim piece of grave robbing, I can't imagine what her reasons could be apart from financial - despite sonny boy's defence.

Let's put it this way - if you were in extreme financial distress you might consider letting the image of your dead spouse be turned into some kind of lip synch muppet to sell cars - but what, apart from life-threatening debt (ie can't pay for your cancer treatment) would justify anyone doing this to their ex - famous or not?

This is some egregiously offensive marketing.
