"The Simpsons" Takes On Apple

 

Published 12/1/2008 by mwagner@techweb.com (Mitch Wagner) at InformationWeek - All Stories And Blogs

When I came in this morning, Twitter was buzzing over an Apple parody that ran on The Simpsons last night. Homer, Marge, and the kids visit the Mapple Store at the mall and admire the MyPods and MyPhones. The segment includes a parody-in-a-parody of the famous 1984 Apple "Big Brother" commercial, featuring Comic Book Guy instead of an athletic woman with Eurythmics hair. Watch the embedded video below, until YouTube takes it down. (link)
