Why does Santa have an American accent if he is from Finland?

Great ad.

Hasn't anyone told Apple there's a War on Christmas?

We've been talking about the Best Buy ads with the mom's and them dis'ing Santa.

I'm sure this is what BB wants because they are working, but everyone I know says they hate those commercials and how the moms are complete bitches.

Er, yeah, thanks for the play by play Mac Rumors.

I find it funny that they still mention the "sequences are shortened".

Yeah, THAT's the only thing that isn't real in this commercial

Awesome ad! WAY better than the smartass Samsung ads..

Speaking of which, do they really think they'll switch iPhone users to Samsung by insulting and attacking them???

SOPA Alert. Mac Rumors has too many links to pirated video material. Prepare for DNS annihilation. Chinese Internet Nukes inbound.

Some of Apple's recent ads have been terribly cheesy, but it's ok for this one to be - it features Santa Claus! You can't have a heart warming Christmas commercial featuring Santa without some cheesiness.

I think people are using the word 'cheesy' in the wrong context. Tugging at some emotional chords is not the same as being cheesy.

The big S is going to be slammed with international data usage.

And given the lines at their stores, I'd say they are the winning team
