Anti-Hillary Ad Goes Viral
In Monday's PM edition, senior writer Heather Greenfield wrote about this mash-up of the Orwellian "1984" Apple Inc. ad that features creepy looking drones watching footage from the presidential campaign site of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. The video tells Democrats to "Vote Different" -- for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
The video's creator has not come forward but the big question in my mind is this: Who's going to rip this video off YouTube first? Apple's lawyers or Clinton's? Also, did someone tell Ridley Scott, who directed the original Apple spot, that a retooled version of his ad is sweeping the Web?
In other news, YouTube announced its first-ever awards celebration for user-created content, "established to recognize the creative achievements of the YouTube community."
Categories include: most creative; most inspirational; best series; best comedy; musician of the year; best commentary; and most adorable video ever. The voting period for nominees began Monday and ends Friday. Award winners will be revealed on March 25.
