Harry Knowles from AintitCoolNews.com Apple ad?
In the first paragraph from the link below Harry Knowles from AICN says that he was filming an ad for Apple in New York. I am unaware of the ad he refers to. Does anyone remember an ad featuring an overweight redheaded guy that had something to do with movies? Or is this for something as yet unreleased. Apple Movie Store perhaps. Just speculating.

I've been going to Harry's website every morning for several years now. Harry's been an unabashedly avid Apple user. He frequently gives Quicktime lavish praise and moans loudly when movie trailers are NOT released in QT. I believe he's an iMac and PowerBook user.

There is no ad currently released featuring this man.
Thankfully.
It would be a disincentive to switchers.

He first mentioned filming the ad months before the first switch ad ever aired. Maybe Apple decided not to use it?
While I admit I like his website, would you want HIM in your ads?

Was he the guy that was in that one video Apple did when iTMS was unveiled?
Not sure.... but I don't have the patience to watch it again...
Watch the video
Sure Harry doesn't have the appeal of a drugged teenage girl with the intelligence of a gnat, but it wouldn't be the worst ad that Apple could air.
I think hes be best suited to linux or solaris adds or maybe on the front cover of debian weekly.
there were a few celebrity bits... tony hawk, jelly slater, dj qbert...
i'd guess there's at least a dozen celerity spots that ended up on the cutting room floor, and probably several times that in "regualar person" ads.
