>> Mike 9170 Here is what happened It's real. It was put together by and outside advertising agency based in Canada. Story is that the company who worked on several other Apple commercials in the late 80's and early 90's got fed up with Apple and their rules and regulations when it came to advertising their products. The company intended to air this ad without Apple's knowledge as a sort of "up yours" to Apple. They attempted to get it on the air but many stations refused fearing repercussions from the computer manufacturer. With no other choice they decided to air it on a local cable channel by means of broadcast signal intrusion on July 20th, 1994 at 4:26 am. Barely any one saw it and no charges were pressed because it was allowed under the fair use copyright law. The company did eventually go belly up in 2001 after 23 years.
