Here's to the crazy ones - - - Apple "Think Different" commercial (1997).

[Ellipsis]

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Apple Inc.

No name. No Godwin.

End of an Era.

[MisterP]

8. oh, the galloping irony

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. The ones with a shitload of money to spend on things...

[RegieRocker]

10. Yea, he was such a good person

not.

[Ellipsis]

12. I've met Andy Hertzfeld...

and you sir are no Andy Hertzfeld.


Bitch, bitch, bitch. Try the restaurant business dude.

[RegieRocker]

13. what the flying f*ck does that have to do with the price of eggs

in china? Steve jobs used peoples talents and that is all he did. He was a slave driver. Now go to that restaurant and get you a heapin helpin of some S.O.S.

[Ellipsis]

15. You worked for him did you?

[RegieRocker]

16. Is that how you equate everything? Boy you had better

get off the internet and stop listening to news, read papers and so forth. Because if you have to personally be there to believe it then your fu*ked.

[Ellipsis]

18. I take that as a no then.

There are lots of law suits against Apple. Hell, I'm even a party to one... but you don't know shit from shinola pal. The dude could have quit at anytime. You think I'm going to get all teary eyed over somebody complaining about about their six or seven figure salary?


"I guess the validity of the claim is up to the courts, but I do have one gripe with their complaint:

During his on-call hours, Walsh “was required to remain on stand-by for the entire night, every night of the week, for the entire week without compensation,” contends the suit, which was filed in U.S. District Court for Southern California.

“Every night of the week, for the entire week”? ...Oh the agony.

[RegieRocker]

20. I know shit and you're spewing a lot of it.

I didn't have to know Bush personally to know he was a ahole. I hope you get what you deserve since you think it's ok. Maybe you could go to china and work for $2.00 an hour for 80 hrs a week. CYA!

[Ellipsis]

22. No facts then... just sputum, take care.

[RegieRocker]

23. I gave you facts and there are plenty of documentaries

about this very topic. He was an ass. Could care less about people as long as he could make money. Like I said "more shit".

[Ellipsis]

25. Brillant come back... I thought you were leaving.

post a link to those "ass" documentries.

[RegieRocker]

28. Boy you're a bright one. If that is what you thought why did

you post a reply? Like I said "shit".

[Ellipsis]

29. Guess I'm just pokin' at you a bit.

:*

[Electric Monk]

17. Still crazy after all these years

[Occupied1]

19. Think different all you rebels. Buy our shit. Commodify your dissent you drones.

It's a COMMERCIAL. Like a lot of post-modern commercials, it attempts to appropriate the image of rebellion TO MAKE PROFITS.

[Ellipsis]

21. If everybody's a rebel...

It makes us all the same.

Just buy smart whatever you buy.

[Poll_Blind]

24. You have to admit it IS the very font of diabolic, though. A vanity-seeking missile.

Aimed squarely at the breast of winded shufflers on the quest for enlightenment. A shortcut into a cul-de-sac lined with mirrors and applause.

"Is this the top of the mountain? Where is the guru?"

"It's you!" they reply.

"I knew it! Deep down I knew it all along!"

27. TBWA\Chiat\Day is one of the absolute best agencies period.

Their campaign for Apple unmatched.


It captured the idealism of the time.


Great post by the by.

26. I don't think those types of people apply to Apple users anymore.

Why you ask? Because EVERYBODY uses Apple products now.

You're not different if you use Apple.

[Hello World]

30. i think it still applies to the vision behind their products

hopefully that wont change
