    I guess what bothers me is the use of a child, someone who died at such a young age.

    Then again, perhaps I'm just a wuss!

    Yeah I was assuming that went through her estate.

    Creepy as sh*t, though.

    Don't people have better things to worry about than this?

    I think you answered your own question.

    I just saw this commercial earlier today. I don't know if I would have given it a second thought unless I'd seen this thread.

    Devil's advocate: I'm assuming the family gets royalties. So if the commercial spurs people to buy the movie...then maybe the family's OK with it. But yes, I'm pretty positive they'd have had to sign off on it.

    That's what I thought. I was more surprised Craig T. Nelson was still working.

    Never say die, Coach.

    You used the word "worry," not me.

    I apologize if reading this thread took you away from much more important threads on here.

    I don't know. But Luther is worried sick.
