<strong>well its legit, and its actually pretty good, i wonder if there are more celebrity switch ads out there....</strong><hr></blockquote>
There are quite a few of them... Will Ferrel, QBert, and now Tony Hawk. I wonder when the Shaq switch comercial... I can see it now, camera pans up to show shaq rocking on his iPod. "I love my iPod so much I made the whole team buy their own."
Just my $.02 or half a nibble,

Saw the first real "Switch" copy cat ad...Hershey chocolates now has block shots of people standing in white space spouting their testimonials to the candy... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
He doesn't SAY anything. During those clips of the skateboards he should still be talking. And what's up with this that he says in the end:
"If you know how you use a computer, you can use a mac." What the hell does that mean?! So if i can use any computer I can use a mac? well isn't the whole point that you don't have to know how to use a computer prior to using a mac?
<strong>Maybe it's just the lower resolution of the video there but Tony Hawk seemed like he was half asleep and trying to think of things to say. The way he said"I'm Tony Hawk and I'm a professional skateboarder." at the end was pretty lackluster.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Yeah, he was pretty lackluster. Odd considering what a fervent Machead he is.
Now if only Apple could persuade Trent Reznor to do one ...
Don't mind me. I'm just getting old.
Still like Ellen Fiess' better.

There are also two new non-celebrity ads. Gianni Jacklone is very effective IMO.
