1984 Apple ad

[Darthwizard]

Windows rules! Bill Gates for president!

[burgerking43]

this is an extremely clever advertising campaign. it is making a reference to the book 1984 by george orwell (eric blair), a sci-fi novel about the future in 1984. it was written in 1948, hence the 1984 (just switching the last two numbers).

thank you captain enlightenment

[jesusknees]

rofl pwned lol

[CryingWindmillFP]

Its based on a book called '1984' where its an alternate view on society where people are under control to the max. I believe this advert is making the launch of macs a symbolism of freedom.

[BrainRemovalD3vice]

mac user are faggots

[my9thtime]

NO U

[sillohsk8]

this doesn't really make much sense, I wonder why Apple used this ad to start off? I wouldn't if I started a brand new company, even if it would carry on to make billions of dollars.

[PoliticalJunke]

Because it grabs attention period.

[AkarioTheReal]

This video is based on the book '1984', But you mac users are to el1terate to read!

[zoethezebra]

[isokessu]

i don't understand this ad.. it looks good but how this has anything to do with mac?

[SharkBoat]

Soon after this ad came out, I was sent to Apple headquarters for training. They were about to play the commercial and I said "Is this the one where the guy throws the sledgehammer at the screen?" This woman stands up and says "That was me and I'm not a guy!" True story!

[sillohsk8]

Hah. LOL. This might not be true, but it sure is funny.

[nishi7cool]
