Eminem iPod ad
Several Apple fans point out the between Apple's Eminem "silhouette" ad and a Lugz footwear spot from 2001. Ad Freak looks at the issue closer, and concludes, "First and foremost, the similarities between the Eminem/Apple spot and the Lugz spot are striking—nay, stunning—and worth taking a second to check out." After Apple premiered that ad at a special event where it unveiled new iPods, the company mysteriously pulled the link from its website. However, the ad was played on television over the weekend, and appears to be returning to the Apple home page. A small Eminem icon has been added to the “TV ads” section, but it still directs users to the ad featuring U2.











It was on TV last night..

They must've kissed and made up. Either that or Marshall's accountant dope-slapped him.

Who cares, who cares, who cares. its a freakin' television ad. No wonder Mac users are ridiculed. They go ballistic over a trademark name (Vingle? What do you think it means? OMG, I can't wait to find out!). You go nuts over whether or not some ad is posted on a web site. People start talking about its subtleties ("It looks like whats-his-name is pushing someone in the ad. I can't believe apple is condoning such violence!"). You talk about the subtleties of what it means when they don't post the ad, or pull it, or any of 1800 things ("OMG, steve jobs was seen in Boston yesterday. Do you think this means they're bringing back MWB?").
You people really need to get a life.

I forgot the biggest group of 'get-a-lifers', the "OMG, I just got my new ! I've taken pictures of the whole opening the box process. Here's a picture of the UPS man. He looked at me like I was nuts or something. Now here's a picture of the shipping box. Here's the box by itself. Now I've lifted the cover. Ooh, look how everything is laid out. Talk about an out-of-the-box experience. Now I've lifted off the top piece. Look how nice the fits within the styrofoam and cardboard. Yessiree, you don't get this kind of packaging with a Dell. Oh, and yes, if you noticed I'm wearing different pants now, its because when I removed the inner package, I creamed my jeans I was so excited. Anyway, now here I am taking the out of its protective wrapping. Man this is great. The packaging materials and stuff alone are worth the purchase price....."
You know who you are....
