'Coma' (2012) ad on IMDb is Creepy

The ad for "Coma" (2012) that has been appearing on IMDb is creepy and possibly in poor taste in light of Tony Scott's recent suicide.

I miss seeing the IMDb Daily Poll.

Actually I think it wouldn't say "Ridley Scott and Tony Scott present" if he hadn't died.

I think his brother and A&E probably quickly agreed to add that on there, in tribute to him.

I think it's probably more important to Ridley that it be heavily advertised, to show his brother's name, now than it would've otherwise been.

Well, that is poor taste if they did it to get more viewers.

No all the ads posted in the subway stations and on buses in NYC for the past month has had it double billed. Tony Scott was a pretty big name in his own right.

Well, it's phreaking me out because it somehow reminds me of Silent Hill, which I made the mistake of trying to watch last night and is now all over me. LOLScream!

Thanx for playing... please drive thru.

Guys (and gals if appropriate) the ads have been up all summer long. Yes they are creepy but they have nothing to do with Tony Scott's death, they were created and planned out long before he killed himself. His death and the ads creepy nature coinciding are pure happenstance. I wonder if they will give him an omage credit at the last minute. Not really the film I would want to be known for.

Thousands die every day for no reason at all, where's your bleeding heart for them?
