A very poor mimic of Lennon's voice pasted over grainy stock footage where his lips vaguely make the correct shapes is hardly, "A digitally created Lennon." Ono and the OLPC folks should be ashamed.

Ono and the OLPC folks should be ashamed.

I seriously doubt he would have endorsed manipulating dead celebrities to say things that we "IMAGINE" they might have said. (Pun intended for the thinking public) Congratulations on a bold new level of newspeak. George Orwell would be proud. What's next? Elvis for peace in Darfur? Why not? I believe that he would have supported it. John Wayne would probably have gotten behind Aids education and prevention measures. What about Humprey Bogart against global warming? Where does it end? Why do we need dead people to help us envision a better future? I suppose there's nobody alive today that would agree to this? Sad times. John Lennon would probably have endorsed the OLPC.
