Just who is ParkRidge47 – the mystery figure who introduced an Internet political attack ad that has stirred the press and political junkies tuned into the early presidential campaign – and what does the videomaker have against Democratic front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton?The political question of the week is the identity of the anonymous person who reworked the classic 1984 ad introducing the Apple Macintosh computers to the world into a biting attack piece against Clinton – and posted it on the popular YouTube Web site.
The video portrays "Hillary 1984" as an ominous Big Brother figure while portraying her rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, as the symbol of a new generation. Obama's campaign maintains it had nothing to do with the video.

Steve Dowling, corporate spokesman for Apple reached Monday by The Chronicle, said he did not know who produced the political video and repeatedly declined to answer questions about the firm's reaction – or whether it was considering legal action.
But E. Floyd Kvamme – who helped bring the original "1984" ad to Super Bowl viewers when he was vice president of sales and marketing for Apple Computers – said he wouldn't be surprised if the company took action.

Jobs remembers who sat next to Hillary at her husband's first State of the Union speech in 1993 - his arch-enemy John Sculley.
Giuliani.
I saw the ad and it was most entertaining. But to Hillary, it is proably just another part of the vast, right wing conspiracy against people named Clinton.
Maybe one of the huge group of people swindled by Hillary in one of her endless finacial scams: Whitewater, the bank she looted, a victim of the Rose Law Firm, etc.
I'm curious if Registered or some of the others guys doing internet creations in A/V and similar formats know...not that I want the guy exposed...but it is quite an achievement.
gosh, wdnt that be great if hillary imploded?
There is a growing file of really funny vids on you tube that insult the candidates creatively.
Yup, Hillary grew up in Park Ridge. I think she was born in '47.
I wonder who will be the first thin-skinned candidate to have such adds removed 30 days before an election in the name of "Campaign Finance Reform".
somebody oughta write a book on the personality similarities between richard milhouse nixon and hillary rodham clinton.
they're both paranoid, vengeful people with long enemies lists.
she worked on the watergate panel, ironically.
Now that's pretty funny!
What I'd really like to see on Youtube is hillary's reaction when she saw the ad. I'll bet the lamps and ashtrays were really flying. I hope Willie was in the same room when she blew up.
Why is that?
Why would a campaign with a commanding lead resort to such a tactic? That's a bullhockey lame retort.
Obviously Obama had nothing to do with this, nor any 'official' republican.
Whoever put this video together better be in deep hiding or there will be another "suicide" to report.
LOL.
A commanding lead?
The election is 20 months away. Get a grip man.
[...people swindled by Hillary...]
Don't forget "travelgate" and firing all U.S. attorneys.
