Adverts are (obviously) written to entice you to do something and it will manipulate characters somewhat to 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. I disagree. I think that just because a story is meant to advertise something doesn't mean that it isn't a narrative or story. Despite this, as this is established policy there is little debate to be had here.
