You should go work for Microsoft of something. That ad is outstanding.

Now we know why it was unreleased.

thank god they didn't air that. that would have done more damage than help. (i think).

Methinks many in the forum don't really recognize the significance of Ali's career and life. I think this ad would have fit in very well with the campaign.

That's an iconic clip in the sporting world and Ali certainly embodied the Think Different campaign. If it didn't test well, they probably showed it to people like you who are clearly too sheltered to understand any of its significance. Try leaving your rooms once in a while.

Methinks you're right, alywa. Sorry I echoed your sentiments. You posted while I was writing =]

It's a shame they didn't do more single person live-action "think different" commercials like this. It was such an incredibly beautiful campaign and these really compliment the print ads well.

Although, I will admit that some of the people in the commercials would roll over in their grave at the knowledge of their inclusion. For instance, Pablo Picasso, who famously said:

"Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. "

Ha.

I'm sure I've seen this before. Anyway I don't see anything bad here. It's a different kind of an ad and that's good. Think Different.

I’m not at all sheltered I just disagree that he “Embodied” the campaign He won most of his fights by using his race and religion, I have watched him fight and I have heard the ignorant things he had to say to his opponents I’m sorry but poor sportsmanship is not “Thinking Different” I don’t think he is any more influential than Joe Frazier or Rocky Marciano etc..

I know this is an older thread, but I was searching for some Think Different posters on the internet and came across this thread in a Google search. I was inclined to reply to your post, Spock, based on why you disagree with Ali being part of this campaign. Ali was so influential in the fight for civil rights as well being socially aware of what was going on. People know him as a great boxer, but he was an even more intelligent man than he was an athlete. His voice rang so loud during the Civil Rights era as well as during the Vietnam War. Famous historians such as Howard Zinn have used his words in their books in order to show how influential he really was during these times. It's a shame more athletes don't use their "pedestal," per say, in order to stand up for things that really matter. If any one person represents "Think Different," it is Muhammad Ali.
