Do you remember that Michael Jackson video? The one where people's faces morphed into other people's faces? This video is kind of like that. Except that it's more like one person's abdomen getting replaced by another person's abdomen. Sort of. It's actually a pretty cool commercial. I really enjoyed it and have now rewatched it several times. Just be careful while changing shirts while listening to your shuffle. In real life, you do not turn into another person. Your shuffle merely gets caught in the buttons.
Thanks Matthew
Update: At first glance we thought this was a new ad, turns out it is the same at the US ad that appeared awhile ago. On the bright side, the US ad is no longer available on Apple's website, so if you want to save the ad to your machine here's your chance. See? No need to freak out in the comments about this.

Erica,
This is the third crappy post today, from the John Edwards widget and the flicker find things that go boom besides Steve posts. Your reaching for straws. While your writing is accpectable the content leaves much to be desired. I know you get paid on a per post basis but don't force me away from TUAW because of your crappy posts please.

C'mon, how about thinking of quality of stories before quantity?
A commercial that I'm sure pretty much all Apple fans have seen, and even anyone that watches TV for that matter.
Between this the freaking John Edwards widget, and the crappy netscape player, TUAW seems to be sinking fast, even for a free blog site.

In Russia, video finds you!
I couldn't find it on Apple's US site, but it's still on the UK's (http://www.apple.com/uk/ipodshuffle/ads/)... Only maxes out at "Large" (640x496) though...
I still have the widescreen (848x496) "HD" version of the ad and it only clocks in at 5.5MB.

The only thing worse than this old, pointless post is the Mac-heads going psycho about it in the comments section.
