This movie is hilarious. Basically some guy dresses up in all black, puts on his iPod, and spends two minutes dancing around an Apple Store. The most interesting part is that all the other people in the store barely even notice him - they just look the other way. They apparently got kicked out afterwards, though.

What a douche-hole.

I love it when he drops (and likely breaks) his iPod.

WHACK

Had I been there, I wouldn't have been able to stop laughing. I think it is funny. I am also suprised that Apple hasn't hired people to do this before. I know it is tempting to jump on the look at the 'tard bandwagon, but it really is clever. Who here doesn't wan't to throw thier ipod through the TV everytime they see the same old, rehashed ads over and over again. I get it Apple, really I do. Now get a new gimmick.

Nothing like takin' the piss and backin' it up with some good ol' Aussie rock.

Yeah, the best part is definitely the fact that no one even acknowledges the guy until the end of the video when the manager kicks the guy filming it out for disturbing the customers. I wish I had thought of it first. Hopefully it will kick off a whole slew of copycats. Maybe this will lead to people making fun of other companies at their own stores.

Here was me thinking you were referring to the use of Technologic by Daft Punk in the new one...yet somehow not using the lyric (that is in the full song).."plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,"

I am not saying she is engaged in small-scale mining operations for precious metals, but I have never seen her associate with any gentlemen of African American origin who are suffering financial embarrassment.

i think it would be great if several people went in and manned every demo machine with a video cam attached and prepared to shoot all different angles in the store. then when they are ready, half a dozen to dozen people come in and do just what that guy did. especially if it were the SF, London, or NYC-SoHo store........ then reclaim all the footage and edit it together.

It's clever. And hysterical. I couldn't stop laughing. Hell, if Apple is determined to stick with the silhouette thing, maybe they could mix it up by doing it live action. Hell, I'm tempted to go do the same thing now (I won't, but I'm tempted).

I thought it was funny. I liked how, after dropping it, the guy STOPS completely, whips off the case, and carefully checks his iPod to make sure it still works. Then, he starts dancing again as if nothing happened.

He's not checking the case, he's plugging in the headphone jack.
