Big Brother Ad for double twist, Remake of the Apple Ad in 1984

"TechCrunch today noted that doubleTwist, the iTunes competitor launched last year by famed digital rights management hacker Jon Lech Johansen ("DVD Jon"), is preparing to launch a significant update to its software. As part of the promotional material for the release, which is scheduled for October 6th, doubleTwist has remade Apple's classic '1984' television commercial with a twist: a Steve Jobs-like character plays the role of Big Brother speaking to an assembly of iPod-wearing followers.", from MacRumors.com

Why couldn't they get a real girl to throw that hammer? The animation on her simply looks ass.

I think it's suppose to be a 21st century remake of it.

Choice vs. the choice. Bold ad, very viral, the original post did not allowed comments, very lame, this one does. Good job!

I did like the ad, I do like choice, but Apple is a very strong choice, and iTunes is also free. An interesting battle for the consumer. Good job DVD Jon ; )

I still go for Apple, I want them to remain #1.

This is sure to piss off some Apple Fanboys LOL

First one to comment on Steve's resignation

I like that there was a good Steve Jobs, Big Brother compared to Droid X ripoff. My only complaints are, could not DoubleTwist hire a decent anime artist? That girl was like drawn so lame. Also whats with the JIN-ROH Wolf's Brigade (japanese anime) soldiers chasing the anime babe? Could not some futuristic totalitarian soldiers be drawn without having to copy them from another anime? Other than these two pet peeves, I like this 1984 parody.

Is that supposed to be Motoko Kusanagi?

The freakin double twist doesn't even open on my computer. It opens but nottin appears.

Can't help but think this was self-fulfilling prophecy for Steve Jobs.

I just keep thinking of the video for "Do the Evolution" by Pearl Jam.

Animation looks okayish on the dark figures, cause there's not much to screw up. The girl looks choppy and unrealistic. Is she supposed to look like a pornstar?
