For the second time in 2 years, Cisco, the supposed "human network" is
using a song by John Lennon to promote its products.
This time, the hallowed "Imagine" in its latest TV ad
Coming so close to what would have been Lennon's 70th birthday
(10/9/10) this is nothing more than blatant exploitation.
Although the commercial doesn't use the original Lennon
recording...the music is there, and the implication in the narrative
is that Cisco can bring the world together.
I don't think that is what Lennon intended with his song.
For shame...for shame, Cisco.
