It may be the most stunning and creative attack ad yet for a 2008 presidential candidate -- one experts say could represent a watershed moment in 21st century media and political advertising.
Yet the groundbreaking 74-second pitch for Democratic Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, which remixes the classic "1984" ad that introduced Apple computers to the world, is not on cable or network TV, but on the Internet.

(To see the video, go to: YouTube - Vote Different)
Political video smackdown / 'Hillary 1984': Unauthorized Internet ad for Obama converts Apple Computer's '84 Super Bowl spot into a generational howl against Clinton's presidential bid

This is about ADVERTISING kiddies, NOT POLITICS.

What other ad was ever shown just once that has gotten so much mileage?

Maybe the 1964 LBJ "Daisy" ad which insinuated Goldwater would use nukes in Vietnam.

Can anyone think of another ad shown just once that was as memorable?

You can't say they aren't of interest to a good number of posters.

I'm not sure anymore what kind of politics Marden represents...

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?
