Too Clever

Apple’s apparently going to re-release their 1984 ad for Macintosh.

‘Cept it’s different. Yep, the stacked woman in sweet hip huggers is wearing an iPod. You can compare it with the original ad here (And use a little Hawkeye bandwidth).

It’s well done. I had watched the ad twice before I had to pause and make sure that I’d seen what I’d though I saw. But isn’t it a little bit of NewSpeak to go back and airbrush in on history?
