This is unbelievable! Have you seen the new commercial for the Intel-chip Macs? With the clean room guys and all that? It is an extremely blatent rip off of the "Such Great Heights" music video.
Go here to see the apple video recreated (side by side with the actual commercial) using shots from the postal service music video. It's pretty ridiculous.
Apple did not pay the Postal Service or even get permission. The director of the commercial is the same guy that directed the postal service music video, and he just stole the idea.
Read The Postal Service's reasponse here.
Classy move, Apple.

Whoa, I thought I came to Life After 208, I didn't think I came to Pitchfork!

That's nuts. I haven't seen a crime this serious since Clouseau's cell phone went off in the theater!
so is this blog dead or what?
Yeah, seriously, Chris, it's been two weeks now.
Life After 208? More like DEAD after 02/09!
BURN.
Happy birthday, David.
Shouldn't you be blogging instead of out getting drunk and celebrating your birthday? That's no way to get ahead in life, young man.
Sorry. I'm missing Pat and I have to nag someone.
Happy Birthday!
This was 'blog of the year' last year. It looks like this time round we'll be seeing it during the "In Memoriam" segment.
