Less than a month after Facebook brought Miley Cyrus and Marc Cohn together for a duet at Memphis in May, a commercial advertising Facebook Groups aired twice during Sunday's NBA Finals game. 

The 60-second spot featured Cohn's iconic "Walking In Memphis." It portrayed a variety of people singing along with the song and scrolling through Facebook, purportedly to the "I Love Memphis In May" group. 

Many were initially pleased and proud with how it turned out and the fact that it shined a spotlight on the Bluff City. 

There were some, however, that didn't take as much of a liking to it – for a variety of reasons.
