- chriskzoo, on 10/12/2007, -6/+50Dugg for a sledgehammer to Hillary's face.
- madmax22a, on 10/12/2007, -3/+45like the one posted dumbass
- Luigi239, on 10/12/2007, -6/+46Apple remastered the add in 2004 according to Macdaily news with an iPod on her belt.
What an awesome add! :D - rm999, on 10/12/2007, -6/+45it's spelled "ad"
- Arkavus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+39I swear there's an iPod on her belt when she swings that hammer.
- lofiboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27HEY! We were watching that!
- kakwakas, on 10/12/2007, -13/+37Yeah! Nothing shows how much of a rebel you are than getting the most common MP3 player around and playing heavily commercialized music!
- mikeisme77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Why are people saying Hillary doesn't make a good Big Brother? Ignore the original Apple ad and think of the actual 1984 book. Big Brother was all about double speak and saying one thing while meaning another. Hillary has been inviting "conversation" and "open communication" while at the same time daring anybody to bring up the impeachment hearing of her husband.
Don't get me wrong, I liked Bill Clinton--I thought he did a good job with international politics and was fairly open and honest (with the exception to his personal relations...) Hillary on the other hand just gives off a vibe of being fake... Using double speak/flip flopping and just overall hiding her true thoughts. - fakeplasticsnow, on 10/12/2007, -13/+34Hilary got owned!
obama ftw - raynevandunem, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22OK, how does "having no track record" relate to being akin to a "Fascist Republican"?
I'm a libertarian, but honestly....that just didn't make any sense. - SatNav, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20@tenoq
No one can tell you which candidate you should support - although many will try.
Do some reading, listen to the candidates, and make up your own mind. - freezervv, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19-1 for lack of irony, humor, sense, logic, or any combination thereof.
- techweenie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20It's about 90% original footage, with (as others have said before) a decidedly un-big-brother like Hillary. So where's the power? Not in the current reinterpretation, but in the original concept and execution.
Maybe someday, someone will parody this watershed commercial with a concept worthy of it. - Deuterium, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Uhh tech weenie you were never deployed to the Balkans or Iraq under Clinton were you? How about Somalia, the Cole bombing, Kenya bombing, WTC-I bombing. How many Solders died in Iraq under Clinton? The numbers aren't zero.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Digg the video directly: http://digg.com/videos/people/Hillary_1984_Brilliant_Mashup_of_Apple_s_1984_Ad
please note: i'm not spamming my own submission here - TheLoneWolf071, on 10/12/2007, -12/+27She Deserves A Hammer In The Face.
- McGriddles, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17It reminds me of that one futurama episode
- jivatmanx, on 10/12/2007, -11/+25"I hate it when the Democrats cut down one of the front runners and big up the other. All you are doing is hurting the Democratic party as a whole. How about the Democrats worry about what the republicans are doing instead of destroying each other."
How about you start worrying about which person is better, rather than which party.
Imo Hillary would make a terrible candidates, and I would actually support Romney or possible other reps instead of her. She would stay in Iraq, keep the patriot act, and I simply don't trust HER to implement liberal programs.
I believe Barack would make an excellent president, and I thoroughly trust his competency. I also feel that BIll Richardson, Chris Dodd, and Al Gore, would also make more than respectable candidates, far better than Hillary.
Therefore, I have no problem with ripping into Hillary. It would be a disaster to have a delusional feminist in office, as, since women already dominate men in college and, adjusting for maternity leave, equal pay.
Feminazis don't want equality, they want superiority. I hope she does'nt win the nomination.
Although, at least she's unlikely to be VP. There's no way she'd work under a man; being a radical feminazi and all. - realyst, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Any respect I had for Hillary dropped once she started endorsing Jack Thompson. She may have rescinded, but one 3 min google search on that name should have sounded alarms in the first place.
On that note, I liked Bill. He was cool, though he definitely should have read the damned DMCA before signing the goddamn thing(though at that point, the bought and paid for House would probably riot had he not signed it). - realyst, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16Bush belongs more in a "We've all done dumb things. But paying too much for car insurance doesn't have to be one of them." commercial.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11As a Democrat, I am NOT voting for Hillary Clinton and I refuse to let her be my party's candidate for Presidency. She's not authentic and I've honestly had enough of old Washington politics. I'm pushing Obama, but if not him, someone who's more capable and who is NOT a Bush/Clinton. We have too many real problems to waste another presidential term on "politics as usual."
- Jinglebones, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11This ad has nothing to do with Obama. This is all about how you and I can make our own political attack ads with a home PC and some editing software, post it on YouTube, and get nationwide attention. We've seen some of the awesome homebrew art over on DeviantART, or the insightful blogs, or the funny YouTube videos - this ad is the next logical extension: homebrew media takes on political advertising, a traditional arena of only the die hardest of die hard old media (CNN, ABC, FOX, The NY Times).
I'm excited. - stalefries, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Now, I'm not condoning killing people, but the Iraq war has really low casualty numbers relative to other wars.
- hyperpasta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Errrr... I think Obama is a democrat.
- David513, on 10/12/2007, -10/+18I just saw it for the first time last night. I don't care for Obama or Clinton, so I don't really have a dog in their fight. With that said, I find the ad spectacularly ineffective, because it doesn't make SENSE. In the original Apple 1984 ad, it makes sense because the words of Big Brother on the screen make it clear what the "rebellion" is against. In this version, the words of Hillary Clinton on the screen don't represent something to be opposed and shut down. The Clinton words that they chose to use in the ad sound reasonable, not the sort of thing to be shut up. As a result, a neutral outsider is left thinking that the Obama people are basically saying that Clinton doesn't have a right to speak her opinions. The thinking behind the ad is very, very sloppy, IMO.
In addition, I wonder how long it will be before Apple sends a DMCA takedown notice to YouTube. Apple tends to be very active in protecting its intellectual property.
David - FiP0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Some guy had to edit the video, to add a logo on the chick's moving breasts.
Fun job. - Rice, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10What the hell?
I don't even... what... this is a disgrace to something... I just don't know what yet.
Bah. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Don't you worry about Planet Express. Let me worry about blank.
- nestafett, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9@tech weenie, When Madele Albright was asked if the estimated half a million children who died each year due to sanctions on Iraq were worth it she replied that they were.
Whos administration did she work for?
dont kid yourself into think the republicrats and democracins are any different from each other - deesnutz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13You really want to get a laugh at Hillary's expense, then check this out ...

Barack Obama for President in 2008! - turpenine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Anyone see that 1984 ripoff tooth brush commercial?
anyone else grosly appauled, because no child using that brush has read the book/seen the origional ad. - ORD2FRA, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8In 18 months, when the general election is held, the .02% of voters that saw this ad will not have the slightest recollection of it.
- fatlip, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@andrgo
you're an idiot - taintkicker, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Hillary got a word wrong, she sings "O say does our star spangled banner yet wave" when it's "O say does that star spangled banner yet wave"
Plus she's a lunatic feminist. - chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I forgot how boring the bitch is.
- orwellson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6To be honest, I watched the ad with high expectations but simply found it uninspired. The original ad still cuts me to the quick with the way it brings to visual life classic Orwellian literary dystopia. The reason that ad was so effective was the deft cutting between the beautiful female athlete and the demagogic oration of the Big Brother-esque character (what else has THAT guy been in since?) When Clinton's own well-parsed doublespeak is substituted, though, it totally sucks out all the visceral emotional impact. The return of the "Daisy" ad this ain't.
- spriggig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Heh, heh, that chick is braless.
- howea, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5It's a freaking ad for god sake, not a rendition of Lord of the Rings.
A lot of younger voters would not have seen the original 1984 advert and watching it will have a similar effect on them as the original ad did, back then. - nestafett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I await your video 11 hours and 40 minutes from now then.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4i agree home ads are superior but i don't like the timing. we are telling the politician's to be full time campaigners and we wonder why no work gets done
- nestafett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4the end 3 seconds summarizes perfectly american politics, we dont vote for people, we vote for a brand. and the people we vote for aren't people anymore they are whatever logo the corporations that fund them tell them to be
- danlovejoy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm a non Clinton-hating Republican, so you can take this with a grain of salt. What she's saying on the screen is political doublespeak, status quo stuff. The ad is saying, "Obama is something different." Think different, if you will.
By the way, I don't think Obama is something different, so consider the source. But I think the ad, as propaganda, is brilliant. - schwit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Hillary and Obama are part of the same corrupt system. Things ain't gonna get fixed until decision making is moved back to the local levels because Washington politicians are more concerned with getting reelected than getting problems fixed.
- raynevandunem, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6The logo at the end was.....weird looking.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Start with an iPod and see how you feel in a few months.
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Two infringements on Apple property, but I think it is awesome that Apple has not asked youtube to remove all instances of it. Kudos Apple.
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -2/+4He meant ADDition, not ADvertisement.
- nestafett, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Corporate rebellion, perfectly symbolic for people who think that any democrat or republican is any differant than each other. on the surface they may look slick or young or rebellious but seep down their all trying to sell you something, and deep down its the bling that controls them all.
- xGORDOx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I was right, the MSM was wrong, no "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" after all!
who woulda thunk that?
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070322/D8O16DSG0.html - DavidDigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You have to remember that back in 1984 things were waaaay different. We were fighting communism and IBM was pretty much the only game in town.
