Apple '1984' ad 10th in CBS countdown

In the realm of ridiculous rankings, what could be more trivial than "best Superbowl commercial ever?" And yet, CBS has devoted an hour tonight to this burning question. Three years ago, Apple's legendary 1984 ad ranked #4 in the fan voting; tonight it came in at #10.

Starting at 9:30 ET/PT, voting opens on the grudge match of Anheuser-Busch's "Lamb Streaker" against the all-time favorite, Coke's Mean Joe Greene ad. That lamb is gonna get skewered. Meanwhile, I'll be watching carefully for Apple's new "Let It Be... iPod" ad.

Well, as far as commercials go, the 1985 "Lemmings" commercial was #1 on MSNBC as the worst Super Bowl ads ever.

10th? We're slipping.

Used to be top five everywhere.

Time for another runaway hit, Apple.

personaly i like the yahoo dolphin.

but speaking of that 1984 commercial

ISN'T it FUNNY how apple now makes the machine of the actual fictional book 1984, with built in camera and all...

my idea is that this commercial is some kind of reverse psychological brain washing in order to trick us into trusting steve jobs, but he is really big brother.

and osama bin laden is probably made up just like immanuel goldstien.

VISTA WAS MADE BY THE NSA HELLO!
