    Apple.com got /.'d?! Wow. I'm impressed. And there are only five comments!

    So in this switch ad, Santa talks about being forced to use "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" because he was sued. It happens to have the same theme and music as the other Apple ads.
    It wasn't even funny...

    I think that in their quest to produce something funny with this "Hip" SNL star, the Apple Advert (Appvert?) guys neglected to mention "Apple" or "Macintosh", "Who wants to install drivers on Christmas?", or even "Like ummm, that sucked. You know?".

    It's really a parody of an Apple commercial if you don't mention an Apple product.

    What, did Apple management have an objection to an actual parody?
