Apple vs. Postal http://www.frederiksamuel.com/blog/2006/01/apple-vs-postal.html ***PLEASE NOTE: the feed has been changed to: feed://www.frederiksamuel.com/blog/feed/atom/ You have probably already heard about the whole Apple vs. Postal fiasco! It's only posted on about 80% of the marketing/advertising blogs around the web. A couple of months ago Apple was accused of copying Luggz for their new iPod campaign. Now they are under fire again for copying the Postal video for their new intel mac ads. It turns out to be a "false alarm" after all. "There's a simple explantion why Apple's new cleanroom ad looks just like a music video for The Postal Service: they were both made by the same people." My question now is, Why would you pick the same people? Especially looking at the whole negative feedback after the Luggz incident? Why would TBWA\Chiat Day let this happen twice? They have done some great work for Apple, but I hope there won't be a third "coincidental copy", otherwise Apple will be looking for a new agency. What is your oppinion on this? Does it hurt Apple or does it just make TBWA look bad? Some more at the Wired Blog.
