No, they're just extrapolating what someone's feeling on something might be. That's pretty different than creating an entire comedy special using the voice of a dead guy.

But what does the dead guy have to say about it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Nothing, he's dead.

Nobody knows, but he'd probably hate it. I certainly wouldn't want to put any words in his mouth, then use a computer program to imitate his voice so it seemed as if he were saying those words.

I feel like as an anti capitalist (on the outside) nihilist anarchist insane fuck the world comedian, who is dead, he can't care. If his daughter can't sue then this is a circle jerk. When I die what my arrangements take care of is as much as I can control, after that who gives a fuck. I personally think he'd laugh his ass off.
