Yeah, too bad we can't have multiple target audiences [rolleyes].
Yeah, thank you for reiterating what I said. The poster before me asked who the target audience was, based on ads running on CNN. I was basically saying that target audience is "everybody" based on the variety of networks and shows they're advertising on. Hope your eyes don't roll out of your head...
This ad was made on October 02, 2006. I'm guessing. Take a look at the Article close up. It's "Pressure Grows for G.O.P. Over Foley Scandal" now I couldnt find it on NY Times, but i found it on another site.

Shows an Excerpt from NY Times. Do you think it was made then? or did they just take a snapshot and use it now?
Has anyone noticed that on apple's website, the ads have been edited? The Requires Minimum 2 Year thingee seems to have been removed from those ads for some reason...

Scott, this was posted on macrumors first; the story broke at 2:57 EST, and the video was capped and uploaded by a user there named ajhill.
Daring Fireball did NOT attribute the original source :(
I think you guys should.
I've seen them watching a comedy special on Bravo, Chappelle's Show reruns, and the Daily Show/Colbert Report, as well as CNN, 60 minutes, etc.
