I'm glad it wasn't just me then! I also thought I recognized the shoes, but I wasn't going to mention it because I wasn't sure. Thanks for confirmation!
still low class
Apple tries to maintain a classy aura everywhere, except their TV ads. Ghetto crap 24x7.

It's what the public likes, and I love it. Just because Apple is classy doesn't mean they have to have a bunch of spoiled white kids and wasps dancing around in their ads.
Seriously, I don't understand what's so declassé about iPod ads. I think they exhibit an almost textbook definition of classy minimalism, and they do so in a way that's stylish and youthful and appeals to their target market. And they make you wanna shake it. I can't think of a classier ad that reaches the high school/college crowd.Amdahl said:
Perhaps you were referring to the presence of beats and do-rags vs. woodwinds and neckties.

Hey!!!
After seeing the ad, I bought the song...
After buying the song, I've listened to it 12x
I think this song uses a very creative method to continue the uniqueness of Daft Punk but perserve the DP "sound"we have been hearing for years.
Apple is able to take this song and communicate through it, more than dancing silhouettes can say.

Anyone else notice in the 4th shot of the DP iPod ad, the shot on a green background that is just of the dancers legs, that there is no iPod in the shot.
Neither hand is holding an iPod, and there is no white ear bud wires.
Are there any other instances other than the U2 ad, of dancers without iPods?
I think this is an editing error.

Subliminal? No. The lyrics are in your face. If you miss them then you're probably dead, but what about the rest of the lyrics? Something to the effect of "buy it break it, fix it, crash it..."
Hmm, I must not be hip enough cause I'm thinkin' this was not a cool move to be puttin' this tune with a piece of hardware. So, what is the average life of an iPod? I was thinking of getting one.

my NEW favourite iPod ad! 😀
love the dance moves in this one... much more exciting than the rollerskating... and i also love this music which also happens to be more computer oriented.
"trash it, change it, mail - upgrade it,
drag and drop it, zip - unzip it,
write it, cut it, paste it, save it,
plug it, play it, burn it, rip it"

it would seem that Apple is known by more people as the maker of the iPod than the maker of the Macintosh computer. the iPod has become its bread and butter.
i remember watching the iMac G5 Introduction Video.
"from the makers of iPod....."
What the???
Some day they'll capitalize on their iPod image recognition and translate that to powerful Macintosh marketting, i just wish that day would come sooner than later.
Tiger, iLife, iPod shuffles, and Mac Mini's would seem like something they'd want to advertise just as much as the iPods but it seems they are using the iPod as their core image (haha no pun but that worked!) from which to present to the couch slouching public. And well, it seems to be working.
