"Happening" Directed by Yoko Ono (that must be the party itself).
John Lennon in the crowd at 22:38 and on.

It's funny you should pick out Gandhi and Lennon. Steve Jobs took an influential trip to India in 1974 (one which affected his life outlook in lots of ways, and one for which Gandhi, I would imagine, serves as an emblematic figure), and he was a big fan of The Beatles, both musically and organizationally: "My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other's negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts."

I totally dig your point, generally applied; lots of ads strike me as disingenuous and (emotionally) opportunistic. I like this particular ad, though. To me it comes off, at least in part, as more of a personal (and genuine) homage to some of the people who inspired Steve Jobs at various points in his life.>> ^kymbos:

This captures beautifully what fills me with fear and loathing for people who invest their lives in marketing. Fucking Ghandi, brought to you by Apple? It makes me sick to my stomach, the gall of it. John Lennon, for fuck's sakes. Have you no shame?
And yet I know how many clever, intelligent, morally bewildering people spend their lives trying to make me feel something for companies, and probably succeed against my best intentions.

It was the first poll I've ever started and I really enjoyed it, too! I was also enthralled to see that the winning vote so far is "I love cats"! We really do enjoy cats on the Sift. There are a few who don't, just like anyone anywhere, but truly the Sift is a great home for cat videos.

I enjoyed voting in your recent cat poll [my first one!]. I was surprised and delighted to see so many positive responses! Happy weekend =o)



Good to know! [I voted in the I love cats category] Cats are what I obviously enjoy watching most, but I've been known to branch out. I had an impressively filmed bee video up a few days ago that blew me away when I first saw it and there is a vintage video featuring a sarcastic John Lennon goofing a reporter posted yesterday. I'm always up for a good laugh wherever I can find one. =oD

Dude, Obama graduated from Harvard Law, and was a Senator before he ever became president.

Jugears was a Senator who voted "Present" when he voted at all, and his grades are all hidden away. BTW he's a Constitutional law expert? I'd trust a Klan leader more to lead a Seder.

In comparison, Herman Cain murdered John Lennon's "Imagine" by turning it into a song about pizza.

"Successful CEO" is easier to type. Jugears has never met a payroll. Any assistant manager at Burger King has more business saavy.

Cut the crap. Obama is more than qualified to be president, even if you disagree with him vehemently.

I'd like to agree with you, except for a little something called THE LAST THREE YEARS. Consider the crap CUT.

After obamarx, are there any qualifications at all? The libmedia doesn't have the same faith that Schmucker does that Cain's ideas are unworkable, so they're going after him with this other crap which hasn't discouraged a single Cain supporter.

He actually kind of sounds like Hunter when he talks if you ask me.
>> ^alien_concept:
A comment on youtube asks why Depp has taken on the voice of John Lennon. It's weird, sometimes he really has! Guess it's doing so many British films and talking a lot of French at home, does funny things...



For the rest of the time, definitely!

That was her? I thought my record was scratched>> ^kymbos:

I've never really forgiven him for letting her sing on the White Album.

People can be a bit thick around here. Sometimes you have to spell it out for them.

If he had murdered McCartney instead, I'd vote for him.

Lol!


Why the sarcasm tag? Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
