the silhouette thing is ideal for old men like U2.

a couple facts:
1) U2 is Steve Jobs favorite band
2) this video is by Logan (current QBN Certified)

oh it's good advertising, nice design and all. but it's U2. I mean, they are definitely in need of publicity with a new album coming out, but maybe if there was some good music on it, they wouldn't have to be in iPod commercials. After all, they aren't the biggest supporters of capitalism if I do remember correctly. Oh well, they can really do whatever they want and probably won't lose THAT much credibility.

like anyone should 'really' care or put Bono on the block FOR ACTUALLY BELIEVING IN SOMETHING AND DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THAT... looks cool w/ the best riff since zooropa - they're just trying to get some 'cred' being associated with the coolest, smallest tech toy in years.
they're both businesses, after all. [i can't stand U2...much - but what's w/ all the cynicism?]

random, you make it sound like U2 paid apple for the privalege.. I doubt that

It's an iconic band in an company ad that has an iconic brand and iconic ad. Don't think they could of picked anyone bigger really. Good stuff.

Funny how graphic design is a commercial art-form that supports and promotes Capitalism and YOU guys being designers are hypocrites... something I've noticed in many ambiguous arguments on PVN

(oct 13 04, 02:12)Just because he does it on a "daily bases" (and most of us don't?) and he has a stronger voice than probably all of us, it doesn't make you a saint for taking the piss, I don't like their music and wouldn't buy their album, but I won't say I'm better because I'd be a hypocrite too.

haha, talk about making up words, when did I say I'm better? I have a right to comment on someone who isnt being true to the words that they preach. He has pushed his anit capitalism stance for years, and to me, right now it looks like that was all just a cheap marketing ploy to get his face on TV.
He has every right to do a commercial with apple, just like I have every right to critise him for being a total hypocrite. He cant try and profit from both sides if his previous public face has been so far on one side for his entire career
