[Todd Terry] " the current tasteless resurrection of the late Chris Farley from "Tommy Boy""

Todd,

I'm really glad you mentioned that and that I'm not the only one who feels that way. I'm no big fan of Chris Farley BTW, but when I saw that spot I was profoundly appalled. When Robert Zemeckis put Forest Gump in the frame with a few dead presidents, it was in the context of the story, and it was even touching. However, using a cornball moment with poor Chris Farley to sell product just reeks of exploitation.

Apparently David Spade is defending the commercial. Joe Dirt had him in the cellar already, but he just dropped to a new all-time low in my book.
