Reanimating a corpse that was killed under suspicious circumstances, all while milking value out of a name someone else developed and cultivated for years. Frankenstein's monster wearing a skin-suit. I don't see the money in this outside of the freakshow factor. Everybody loves a freak show, but who wants to live there?

if you're a political action group then voluntarily choosing to limit the eyeballs on the ideas you're trying to espouse seems so counterproductive and antithetical for your raison d'être that it's hard not to look at this as shooting oneself in the foot.
