A posthumous appearance is always a sticky situation especially when involved in a modernized setting in broadcast advertising.� I guess if there’s a best product for John Lennon to support 28 years after his murder, it probably comes dashingly close to this; solar-powered XO laptop computers and their campaign to provide one for every child in some of the world’s poorest regions.

“Imagine every child no matter where in the world they were could access a universe of knowledge. They would have a chance to learn, to dream, to achieve anything they want,” a voice and video image of Lennon has been created to say.

“I tried to do it through my music, but now you can do it in a very different way. You can give a child a laptop and more than imagine, you can change the world.”

Creepy.� The spot began airing Thursday and will continue to circulate via donated broadcast and cable network time, as well of course, as the teet of the beast known as the internet.
