I don't know anything about RightChange.com, but I thought this was an interesting YouTube video.

Indeed, the crazy unthinking mesmerized masses acting like robots and without verification of rhetoric. ;)

As potentially demonstrated by the Morgan Freeman fiasco and the Lawson campaign, technology has advanced to the point that someone's voice can be literally reconstructed to say things which never actually occurred. We're living in a brave new world.

Oh sweet irony. Someone made this for the Obama campaign awhile back.

Before famous ad:
Apple sales virtually equal to Commodore

After famous ad:
1984, January: Apple Macintosh introduced. Price at Introduction: $2,495.00. Standard Memory: 128Kb. :eek:
Apple sales rose for many years and Commodore went away

I'm ~85% certain, that famous ad only showed nationally one single time, @the Super Bowl

Note to future historians:
Ironically, Apple is now a form of Big Brother, since they are banning certain types of software from their platforms, to give their own ad networks an unfair advantage.
