No Apple Superbowl Ad?
This Super Bowl marks the 20th anniversary of Apple's famous 1984 Super Bowl television commercial. A recent article in AdAge noted that Apple was considering a Super Bowl ad to mark this anniversary, however, the CNN article reveals that there are no plans to do so at this time:
Incidentally, a spokesman for Apple Computer said the company doesn't have any plans to advertise during the Super Bowl to mark the ad's 20th anniversary, but he did inquire how many ad spots were left.

I'm definitely disappointed if this turns out to be true. I was hoping that they'd announce something cool, such as an actual 20th Anniversary Macintosh.
Oh well, here's to hoping that it's not true. Let's go ask Ridley.
And roll it out for neat stuff like the recent iPod edition during the Stevenote.

Yeah, that's dissapointing. I hope they change their minds. What if they actually introduced a product during a commercial (maybe an iMac G5:D ).
Hob :p

He's been working on a big movie shooting in Spain. (no time for ads anymore...)

Superbowl ad time is heinously overpriced now. Remember all the .coms that bought it a few years back? Fat lotta good it did them.
I have to agree. Also I think that Apple does an excellent job advertising even without the 'big' exposure of the superbowl. I doubt it would really make much of a difference if they ran the ad or not (for sales) and like another poster said save that money to lower the product lines prices!

There will already be an ad by Pepsi promoting iTunes, and the bottle top give away. I think thats a formal introduction of an exciting paradigm shifting product as well as unheard of ad campaign.
That's exactly what I was going to post... with Pepsi, they don't need another ad.
