    Thanks for sharing that! You can see the entire episode here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/46689/the-simpsons-mypods-and-boomsticks

    And once that episode expires (in a few weeks), you should still be able to watch a lower-quality version here: http://wtso.net/movie/440-2007_Mypods_and_Boomsticks.html

    That Apple Mac ad from 1984 by Ridley Scott is still fabulous, that ad cost a whopping $1.5 million !!
