Ellen Irks Apple With iPhone Ad Spoof, Has To Apologize (VIDEO)



Classic clip! Ellen got more laughs out of her apology to Steve Jobs, Mr. Macintosh, and everyone at Apple and more mileage out of the bit (which was quite funny) with the follow-up.

This is a great example of how to rejuvenate a brand! The producers are seeing that they have a known entity and are to be applauded for not just milking it till it dies a natural death.

Let's celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a "Los Suns" victory! And maybe, they should continue the protest beyond this one holiday to make a very applaudable political statement!

Letterman: Obama Promised 'The Tonight Show' In 5 Years (VIDEO)



Love the joke about Obama being promised "The Tonight Show" in 5 years - could be earlier, as some other commenters have suggested. When Dave is on, he's on. Leno - well, I do think NBC needs to be looking for a replacement in just a few years as that move was by no means a long-term fix.

Watch as this begins about 30 seconds into this part of Dave's monologue:
