NEW YORK (CNN) -- An Internet ad slamming Sen. Hillary Clinton and promoting Sen. Barack Obama has been viewed more than a million times on YouTube, but no one knows just who is behind the elaborately produced spot.
The "Vote Different" clip is a remake of an Apple computer ad from 1984, which in turn was a take on George Orwell's "1984."
In the latest version, Clinton is cast as Big Brother, and excerpts of her speeches mesmerize a uniform, catatonic audience. As the audience files into a theater, a young woman carrying a sledgehammer runs up the aisle and throws it at the video screen, shattering it. (Watch how the video may mark a historic shift in political ads )
The ad ends with a message reading, "On January 14th, the Democratic primary will begin. And you'll see why 2008 won't be like '1984.' "
The screen then dissolves to a colorful "O" that resembles an Apple logo, with the Internet address "BarackObama.com" beneath.
Obama insists his camp knew nothing about the ad.

What mystery?
It was the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy...
Many, many more to come, I'd bet. This evil creature needs to be exposed for what she is.
YouTubers are pretty creative but that looks too professional.
" The person behind the post told Sifry, "I want this ad to speak for itself, I'm not going to say who I am."
In other words,he would like to continue breathing.
I was going with Rove.
He-he!
I hope there is more satire to come.
The best way to defeat Hillary is to make her ridiculous.
I don't think anyone will ever step forward admitting to this unless they want to wear a marble ashtray as a hat for the rest of their life. Clinton's wife is mean.
Apple must not be too upset with the altered version of their ad. Otherwise, they would have already demanded Youtube remove it.
They are, however, getting allot of free advertising with these articles identifying the old Apple video.
Bush's fault
LOL
I had nothing to do with it!!
I swear!!
You are forgetting that even 14 year olds can now create amazing realities.
Let the fun begin.
Her biggest problem right now is who to blame with the choice ending up being the one that best casts her as a victim.
I wonder how possible it is that the video came from the Clinton camp itself.
If you didn't say she, I wouldn't be sure if the evil creature that needs to be exposed would be Hillary or Hussein.
Attack! Puleeeese!
LOL
and that really isn't funny because it is true.
Hmmmm it's possible
