This is just bad all around. The text is pixelated, maybe intentionally? The music is junk. The colors are kind of cool though. I wish Apple's marketing would get more creative and come out with some better silhouette ads, like the look of the Eminem one. They need to push the bar more and change it up a bit. Maybe the budget just wasn't high enough for this ad, so that's why it looks so unoriginal? :confused:

The text is fine?

I like the colors they used in this one, nice.

Yeh the colors are really fine, I love this ad! But the video quality seems funky, like lo-fi scratches implanted into the digital masters of alt rock for a wink-wink sound effect.

Something has to become "the new black" in video, even for Apple ads. But the text looks rough too, so how could that have been intentional (unless they're just telling us hey you have to watch this streaming in real time on your HD TV if you want clarity). I am looking at what I downloaded yesterday using the Quicktime Pro contextual menu. Maybe they don't want us having hi-res copies of their ads any more. Gee. What's next, RENTING the ads to us?

Aside from that, does "Shut up and and let me go" have any significance to the next great thing from the iPod line? I thought ok, external speakers?, wireless headphones? But these characters are still wearing wired earbuds so....
 
I love it. To me, its one of their better ads. In the past few years, they the songs sucked. -_-

I like the song, even bought it of iTunes. Listening to it now. :p
 
So a song that's more 70's disco than anything, with some 80's graphics, with 90's colors.

Notice there is no 00's style. Just a rehashing of old crap.
