Clinton Replies To Remade iPod/Mac Commercial
03.21.07 - 12:06pm
The YouTube video, which remains anonymous, is mustering an incredible amount of press and is fast becoming one extremely powerful weapon for Obama in his campaign for presidency.
The video has already received over a million hits as well as being a top news topic. It is not only a plug for Obama, but is also showing just how powerful the internet and the third screen can be.
The YouTube video is a remake of the powerful 1984 controversial Apple commercial, directed by Ridley Scott. It showcases an athlete running with a sledgehammer to break the monotony of Clinton droning on to a brainwashed, spellbound audience as they sit in prison garb in front of a huge video screen.
In 1984 the video was done as a commercial introducing Apple’s Mac computers to the world. It was such a famous commercial that it was redone by Apple to premiere the iPod, and now shows the the athlete wearing the Obama logo with the tagline “On January 14th the Democratic primary will begin. You’ll see why 2008 won’t be like 1984.”
