I hope Apple has enough of a sense of humor to put that up with the other ones on their website or at least show it at the next MacWorld or whatever. Heck it should run on TV.

I like it better than the e-Trade monkey!

:cool:

Could you imagine seeing the Monkey Switch at an Apple Expo - that would be hysterical - wow. :D

But I'm with jello - why a negative? Weird, this was all in fun and showcased a wide range of great creative talent. Maybe a sore loser???

Ah, unfotunately, yes it is. There was a longer one somewhere, that was made into a music video. If anyone has the link they should post it.

what happened to the porn-producer guy ??? I want to see HIM featured in an official Apple ad...

Imagine if all the porn in the world was produced on mac, Apple would not have to care about market share anymore :D

Personally, I prefer the Ballmer "Developers" video. Scary stuff. Anyone have a link?
