The TV was on most of the day. I was surprised by the number of 'necro-advertisements'. Jimmy Dean, who has been dead 15 years, is still talking about his sausages. I would have thought by now the company could have found a different spokesperson. Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's and dead since 2002, occasionally still smiles back at me showing how juicy his hamburgers are. My head shot up when I heard Stephen Hawking's voice on an ad for something or other. Jarring to see Reverend Billy Graham on the screen explaining the way to eternal life before a vampire movie came on. I suppose this is just the tip of the iceberg. Between CGI and AI expect even more ads featuring 'deadeberties'.

I think that is Franklin Graham
i saw the ad again and caught the beginning where he said he was Franklin. They look a lot alike now that Franklin is older.
