    An Open Letter to Everyone Upset Over the Chris Farley Direct TV Commercial

    Everyone needs to STFU and stop worrying about Direct TV’s “taste” in advertising and start worrying about more important shit, like the World Series or the Biggest Loser.

    Dear You,

    I hate you. You are the type of person who needs to complain about something, anything. I see you, everyday, on facebook, complaining about something you have no control over. “Bawwww my class is canceled and I work up early.” “Whaaaaaaa my favorite sports team lost.” Shut up.

    This past week, Direct TV released a commercial in which they reshot the famous “Fat Guy in a Little Coat” scene from Tommy Boy. The exact moment it was available on YouTube, everyone started crying, “Too Soon! What an outrage! Shame on Direct TV!”

    Are you kidding me? There is nothing wrong with this commercial. First off, “too soon?” He died in 1997. That’s 12 years ago! Also, HE DIED OF A DRUG OVERDOSE.

    Secondly, the Farley family obviously gave permission. I am pretty sure that they know what Chris himself would approve. (and to those who are yelling “of course they approved, they got paid! Why would it take 12 years to cash in?)

    A lot of you are also hating on David Spade. No, he isn’t hard up for cash, he did a commercial. A funny commercial.

    I am going to chalk this whole thing up to you guys not having anything else to bitch about, but the week is only half done, so I’m sure there will be something.

    Take the sand out of your pussies,
    Carlo.

      I agree, how the hell is this too soon? Now maybe if it was michael jackson… That might be too soon.

      I don’t know about too soon, but it is a blatant cash in move.

      Anybody who complains about this commercial is a little girl…the MJ movie is way to soon I don’t think the worms got a taste of Michael yet

      The MJ movie is just a way to make cash. Was there ever an idea to make it a movie while they were filming his concert practice? Probably not. They even have body doubles in some of the dance scenes. I had an entire article about this movie last night and my screen froze. I lost everything.

      I feel this was necessary because of the front page pic..
