Apple vs The Postal Service

Click Here and watch at least some of this music video (its very small, so don't worry about it taking forever to load)
and then come back and click Here (this one is a little bigger, but 15 seconds short (haha, thats an interesting way of putting that), it also requires you have one of the latest versions of quicktime (which even i don't have on my computer))

Now, before i explain, lets have the quote :

A Note from Ben
"It has recently come to our attention that Apple Computers' new television commercial for the Intel chip features a shot-for-shot recreation of our video for 'Such Great Heights' made by the same filmmakers responsible for the original. We did not approve this commercialization and are extremely disappointed with both parties that this was executed without our consultation or consent."

-Ben Gibbard, The Postal Service

Hmm... if you weren't around a few months ago, Apple computer was told by Lugz (fyi: they do shoes) (i have a nice shirt of their branding, so they aren't TOTALLY unheard of) to stop using their ad that looked exactly like one that lugz had in 2001... let me see if i can go find a link to that ........ haha

Here is the lugz ad.

and now the apple ad Here

So, this concludes my ranting and ravings for tonight, join me tomorrow when i try to explain something, and it goes horribly wrong and ends in a "new blog being created and only posted on once and forever forgotten"

I'm Michael Cooper, catcha ya on the blog side, see ya all later!
