Also - the fact that was 1984 is a nice coincidence - but people didn't praise the commercial cause "oh look 1984! and its 1984!, teehee" - it was a wonderful CONCEPT...btw did you listen to what they criticized anyway?
The most amazing thing was how each Apple drone there thought they were "thinking different".
were they ever shown the actual ad? do any of them know what "1984" refers to? put apple logos on their shirts??!! morons. and yes, they vote. I think it is all by design, actually. they vote and spend. work, spend, and vote. nice cattle-people.
I think that guy was volunteering for the role when he mentioned the Chimpanzee.

That is why polls never work.That is why many television pilots and movies screened for focus groups fail People lie
And are imbecilic.
New Zealand is looking mighty fine at moment, except you have to swear allegiance to some figurehead who lives in England and raely visits. That's actually not a minus, now that I think about it..
Here's a nickel, son. Buy a toupee and while you're at it download a REAL OS!

However, the Board-O-Matic was pretty dull and defeated the point of the real commercial...it wasn't compelling to look at. Also, since 1984, there have been a ton of dystopian futures shown in movies and TV, so it's not nearly as novel as it once was. Remember, Blade Runner had only come out in 1982.
If you don't count obviously small, indie movies like Metropolis, On The Beach, Planet of the Apes as a number of examples that took five seconds of thought.
This is more a reflection on the difference in education between 1984 and 2007. Does the name George Orwell even pass a teacher's lips (or pass between their two brain cells), let alone require students to study one of his novels?
More likely they've all rotted their brains with too much TV.
That focus group was probably in a hurry to get out and see the new Hanna Montana movie.

It was originally made for the Apple ///, but I rejected it.
I get NO friggin ads whatsoever.
Now, how many of you know that in 1983, the REAL board of directors at Apple Computer rejected this advertisement? Yes, the dweebs on the board HATED it. It was almost never shown to the public. The only thing that saved it was the amount of money invested in making it.
LOL
Perhaps Steve your next iphone advert you can have a dog telling his story about how the iPhone helps him find his locate his buried bones, lol
I like the Chimpanzee comment.
