this is going to leave a mark. Pretty creative. But Howard Wolfson is going to unleash the Guns of Navarone on Obama in response.
You said -- I wish they'd call it "Think DifferentLY."
It probably had to do with "business-speak" and Apple Computer being able to "trademark" the phrase. I would imagine that's why...

You said -- "Steven Jobs had to sign off on this if its for real"
I seriously doubt that. the Obama campaign is denying anything to do with it. And it's only on YouTube, not in commercial television production. So, no..., I don't think Steve Jobs had to sign off on it. He probably doesn't even know it's been done. He probably will tomorrow, though...

You said -- "I thought our very own MiaT did that video."
Did Apple hire her to swing that hammer back then?

I'm sure that you're right.
:-(
Even MORE poor useage.
It would have been better if the Big Brother Hillary had included my favorite quote, "We're going to take some things away from you for the common good." That would have struck terror into everyone's hearts even more than the meaningless campaign generalities she was spouting.
I'm on MiaT's pings an this was pinged to me yesterday with a note that it had won some sort of youtube award. I guess just figured she made this herself since she does things like this although I previously hadn't seen any video that she did. I guess maybe she just included it as part of her regular blog....???
"Thank Apple for the creativity... "
Yes, they did the original ad, and then someone added another level of creativity to put Hillary's face in there. That's what I was referring to.
These type of political ads (or should we say political statements?) on the web are going to have as much or more impact as the full-price ads commissioned by the candidates.
Remember this ad was done by an Obama supporter. They're not going to pan the "Common Good" comment. They agree on that one.
You said -- "These type of political ads (or should we say political statements?) on the web are going to have as much or more impact as the full-price ads commissioned by the candidates."
Yep, that's right!
This one is going to play for a long time, all the way until the elections, if Hillary stays in there...

P.S. -- I've got my copy on my iPod now, to carry around with me and show anyone... :-)
Americans are going to be voting AGAINST the Democrat candidate if it's either Hillary or Obama. Swipe away all the media frosting and the truth is that most Americans, including Democrats, hate Hillary's voice, delivery, nagging whine, and plastic personna. I think now that for Hil to get the Dem nomination would be a delivery of sweet flowers to Republicans. Hillary is loathesome and there's nothing she or anyone else can do about it. She would be a gift to Republicans.
Obama's middle name is "Hussein" and he's a Muslim, or at least was. He professes to be Christian. As one poster pointed out elsewhere, if the Muslim penalty is death to those who convert out of the faith, does America really want a president with THAT target on his head? Obama is a woman's candidate, he's wussy, he's inexperienced, it shows -- and that makes voters nervous. As with Hillary, people will be voting AGAINST him.
Republican primary voters could choose Mickey Mouse and he'd be our next president. The biggest mistake Republicans could do would be to nominate a play-it-safe, appeal-to-the-most candidate in the primaries. We must see this as a rare opportunity to take RISKS!
"They agree on that one."
Yeah, good point.
Yeah sucks for them. The Washington Post and the NY Times don't/can't publish until tomorrow morning! He he he.
I think Hitlery is a Stalinist. Obama is a near Trotskyite.
You said -- "Aria, Mia has used the Obama ad to create her own video entitled, "VOTE SMART: a warning to all women about hillary clinton." It's a must-see video and won the You Tube Weekly Honor. You can view it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QViJwZwXTl0 "
Well, I just looked at it and it's a "bit strained" to follow it. I guess it's trying to play off of the Obama ad (from the Apple ad). If it were not for the Obama ad, the Apple ad inside this video you referenced would make no sense at all. So, it seems that one thing (Obama) is playing off another thing (the original Apple ad) when then makes it *somewhat* understandable for the third thing (Mia's ad).
Otherwise, I would be hard pressed to even understand Mia's ad and what that other part (i.e., "Apple's ad") was doing in there, in the first place...

"I've got my copy on my iPod now"
How do you download that from Youtube?
OMG! Just OMG! YIKES! Pass the popcorn!
Thanks....I finally found the Obama one - actually I think Mia's is better. I hope this is giving Hillary nightmares!!!
