Happy 30th Anniversary, Creepy Orwellian Nightmare Apple Commercial!

We know a lot of our readers weren’t alive 30 years ago. Heck, I’m the only writer on the site who was, and I was but a wee babe on January 22nd, 1984 when this iconic Apple ad ran for the first and only time during the Super Bowl (which is a football match.) That one airing was enough to burn it into the world’s brain forever.
