ProCare promo video inspired by South Park, created by Apple Store employees
We don't know how legit this is, or whether there's an Apple Store out there actually using this, but it appears as though some Apple Store employees have created a ProCare promotional video in the spirit of South Park. It features short, animated kids in a few quick scenarios of customers entering the store and requesting Procare support, as well as another customer pimping some of the various features that ProCare offers, such as personalized support and training. It probably won't make the Apple.com homepage any time soon, but it's an interesting effort from some enthusiastic employees (who probably didn't even get paid for their efforts).

The song featured in the promo is "kaze wo atsumete" by happy end, which is on the Lost In Translation soundtrack, so the makers must be fans of the movie.

Wow, I didn't think it was possible to make South Park boring, but these guys did a bang up job. (Yawn) I have to go take a nap now.

I think the strong association of Apple computers with professional graphics creation leads many people to believe they have abilities which they do not. They should stick to making funny faces in Photo Booth to impress the customers.
