Audrey Hepburn in Galaxy Chocolate Commercial

I don't know about you, but I really don't like using dead celebrities in commercials. I really like Audrey Hepburn, and I'd rather remember her in her classic films. The footage in the ad is from Roman Holiday for which she won an Academy Award in 1953.

The commercial makes it seem like Audrey Hepburn has Galaxy Chocolate in her purse which eats before jumping into a convertible with a hunky Italian. O.K. personally I think this is just wrong, but then using the music from Moon River, a totally different movie--well, duh, why?

And did I mention the clips are colorized? The film was in black and white!

To be fair, Audrey Hepburn's children signed off on the deal with Galaxy Chocolate. But one has to ask again, why? Money? Audrey Hepburn died in 1993. R.I.P.

Thoughts?
