[Miramonti]

nevertheless, what a great commercial.

 

[Tetsuo]

Not many people know it, but Apple started the whole Mega-Ad trend on Super Bowl Sunday with that ad.

i don't know, now that microsoft owns a huge chunk of apple, and they're featuring a product designed to help promote one of the most evil corporate organizations in the nation, the 1984 ad doesn't have quite the same ring.

Communist / socialist symbolism (really!) -- hammers and sickles were weapons of the workers, who had to fight with their tools since they had no guns or swords. Look up the flag of the USSR.

I learned about that too while I was playing my metallica songs backwards.

I thought russian olympic atheletes in the 80's were anything but natural.

Sine when does Microsoft own a huge part of Apple? For some reason this doesn't seem right to me.

For all you who are interested in the bill gates/apple story, you should definitely watch "Pirates of the Silicon Valley." I think it was a TBS special.... it was very interesting.

That's cool. Anyone got the MOV? They did something to make it not appear in my Temporary Internet Files folder.

 

[Babbles]

It was kinda cool how they did that, looked good.
