Several years back, TV stations refused to play the tapes of a deceased
religious leader.
Immediately someone pointed out that (at that time), Alfred Hitchcock was
still hosting the colorized versions of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" after
he was quite dead (and quite a loss it was, I think).
Now there is an unofficial award named after him for using dead people to
promote products.
Should Micro$soft get the Alfred Hitchcock Award?
