QBert Switch Video Pulled

[arn]

The QBert Switch Video (http://www.errolmorris.com/commercials.php?commercial_id=7) from Errol Morris' site has been taken down.

For those who saw it, it featured DJ Qbert (http://www.djqbert.com/) in a traditional Apple Switch advertisment.

Celebrity ads are expected from Apple soon...

I downloaded it if anyone wants to see it.

This isn't surprising, I'm kind of surprised Morris put it up in the first place, unless he thought it wasn't alted to run yet.

Yes, can you post a link to it? I'd like to see it.

I'm not sure if that is an authentic switch ad. There are blackend areas and the picture is not as good as the other apple ads. The photography is not as well done as the others. It might not be real, but it would be cool if it was.(Also there is no end bit- my name is Q-Bert and I'm a DJ)

It's certainly a real video. It was on the director of the Switch campaign's site. It isn't as cleanly edited as the "release" commercials - but obviously, this was not (yet) release-quality.
