1. No, it's not part of the official campaign, unless they want to be sued. NT |

6. It can't be from the official campaign. |
|
It's the 1984 Apple Computer ad, which was run ONCE during the SuperBowl, and never run again. They simply put Hillary's face where "Big Brother" had been, and changed the end line. If it weren't a complete rip-off it would be brilliant, considering how close to "1984" we've come, but I seriously doubt that they could use this.
Of course, if you've never read "1984", none of this makes any sense to you.;-)
