Update: Apple has posted the ad in full QuickTime glory. Check it out. And it would seem that the YouTube version was uploaded by a plucky MacRumors reader. Good job!

I saw an iPhone ad while watching a Friends re-run on TBS the other day. Not quite the same target audience as CNN, etc.

Yeah, too bad we can't have multiple target audiences [rolleyes].

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.

Oh...Oh...that is not cool.
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.

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...

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?

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...
