Found Footage: Obama reinvents that 1984 iPod commercial

Think you know that famous Ridley Scott 1984 iPod commercial[1]? Think again. Think different. Think politically. A group of anonymous Obama supporters have mashed up footage of Senator (and Prez Candidate) Hillary Rodham Clinton with Apple's iconic iPod ad--even to the point of reshaping the multi-colored Apple logo at the end as an "O". "Why 2008 won't be like '1984'," they pitch. Hillary as Big Brother. Regardless of who you support politically, you've got to admit it's a cleverly done viral ad.

[1] At the 2004 MacWorld Expo, Steve Jobs showed a digitally updated version of the original Mac-only commercial to add the iPod with its signature white earbuds. The Obama commercial uses this updated version. Thanks Jason.
