Hell, I thought the original Mac ad was tired. I'm waiting for the Obama "Wazzup" internet political ad.
SomeCallMeTim will escape death by uploading himself into pdf23ds.
I don't think it's getting attention because the concept is novel: everyone knows it isn't.
I think it's getting attention because it's extremely well-done. If you look at the logo on her shirt and the integration of the iPod, it's flawless craftsmanship.
But the best part is the insertion of some of Hillary's most trite and condescending propaganda into the spot. That's just excellent selection of material.
Finally, the original commercial was very good, very cinematic.
Maybe this piece will finally teach idiot legislators about the importance of the Right to Remix (but I'm not holding my breath).
SB's sort of a partisan about this Apple stuff, huh?
4: For originally suggested that you "might be Steve joBs." But that seemed a stretch.
Well done, but it would work better as an attack ad on Imperial Stormtrooper McCain.
I just had a flash of Dennis Kucinich saying, "You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me RayJay, or you can call me RJ..."
The giant talking Hillary head is funny and clever. The rest, not so much. It doesn't sell the product (Obama). The current PC v. Mac ads--HRC as the PC and Obama as the Mac--could be just as clever and more effective.
The McCain campaign should hire someone to remix the old Mean Joe Green ad.
Or one of the McDonalds spots from the 80s. With (following Cala) an adorable gang of little stormtroopers in floppy clown feet. "Homma-homma OBEDIENCE homma tick-tock bebop!" And so on.

McFASCISM
Barack H. Obama! He's just like, he's just like, a presi-dent. Hey hey! You heard me! Come vote!
Until 10, I never noticed before how much Ronald McDonald looks like he stepped out of a minstrel show.
Leadership! Honesty! Respect. Ah yeah! You can find them, in Obama! We're talkin' bout Obama! He's just like, he's just like, a presi-dent.
That clip never fails to make me happy.
Me too. I just watched it twice.
I love the combination of 10 and 11. I'm watching 10 thinking "the great thing about playing Ronald McD is that no one in your real life will recognize you," and then 11, thinking "you know, for a cheap-ass local ad, this is damn entertaining. I love this guy."
Re: the McDonald's ad. I see Kerry as Ronald, Cheney as Grimace, and GWB as the Hamburglar.
This ad has many flaws, but the most obvious one is that there are far more people who hate Mac people than there are actual Mac people.
18: I love Macs, myself, but it's probably a mistake to position yourself as a niche president.

Science Project"
You make a really good meal. You eat half of it, you put the other half of it in the fridge and you forget about it for a couple of weeks. You open that container back up that's inside the fridge. It's not something you're going to eat again. You don't put it back in fridge and wait for it to get better. It's a not going to happen. And it's been considerably longer than a couple of weeks. George Bush is that meal. Everybody's grown a science project and when they go bad, they're bad. You need to toss it.
It's been around for weeks. But then Drudge put it up. And suddenly CNN, MSNBC, FOX are treating it like it's news.
This is because Matt Drudge, a partisan hack who is frequently wrong, doubles as an assignment editor for ignorant losers in the media.
Pathetic, really. They take their marching orders from this biased and factually-challenged nitwit.
