I agree with Mystexplorer. Adverts are (obviously) written to entice you to do something and it will manipulate characters somewhat to do make you do whatever that is, whether it be buy a branded cereal or simply watch a TV channel. That means that characters of the show are purposefully written out of character. I'm not saying that's what happened here, I'm saying I don't think that any form of advertisement, no matter how light, is a fair enough use of a character or franchise.

The same goes for a comedy sketches and spoofs. The characters are altered to suit a different genre of television. That's my two pence worth. Hope it helped.
