21.0. "Apple Macintosh TV Commercial" by NACHO::LYNCH () Sat Jan 28 1984 19:45

This is border-line SF, but...

I read this week that the Apple Macintosh TV commercial (the one that is a
take-off on '1984') was created by (don't know if that also means 'directed
by') Ridley Scott, the man who brought you 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner'.

Very effective ad, by the way. Wonder if he'd like to do some DEC ads...
Nah! Uncle Ken would never approve!

It has been reported in this country (UK chaps will love this) that
the "audience" in the Macintosh commercial are English Skinheads,
the ad apparently was designed by an English agency.
