You&amp;#x27;re speaking on behalf of a dead person in objection to someone else speaking on behalf of that person.&lt;p&gt;We can debate the ethics of this whole thing without trying to lay claim to what Bourdain would have thought.</text></comment>

If anyone would vehemently oppose such manipulation, it would be Anthony Bourdain. Is there a disclaimer before this scene is shown? I&amp;#x27;ll choose not to watch such a documentary created by those with skewed ethics.</text></comment>
