Orwellian Hillary

This is a great political parody of the famous TV commercial that officially launched the Apple Macintosh in 1984. (Younger readers, “Macintosh” is what is now just a “Mac”). It’s ostensibly pro-Barack Obama, but Obama’s campaign was apparently not connected to it’s production:

By the way, the original Apple 1984 advertisement is well worth viewing. Released in 1984 and only aired once, it makes reference to Orwell’s 1984 and is clearly suggestive of the 1984 Summer Olympics which were held in Los Angeles and were boycotted by the authoritarian regimes of the Soviet bloc. Twenty+ years later, even after the creation of Windows and the death of the horrible MS-DOS, the video still effectively captures the essence of the battle between the Mac and the PC:
