Am I the only person who thought that whole sketch was an ad that Apple probably paid for? Stewart never said anything bad about the products, and in fact every 20 seconds said something about how awesome they were. Plus he had an iPad on screen for a good two minutes.
- mdg 17y agoTo my knowledge[1], Apple never pays for product placement. [1] read something online somewhere once.
- danudey 17y agoThat wouldn't surprise me to find out. I've seen a lot of shows that use Mac laptops (e.g. How I Met Your Mother), but the logo is always covered. I guess the laptops look nice, but they don't want to give free advertising to Apple.
- mdg 17y agoThis is strictly my opinion speaking, but the Macbook looks like the "default" laptop. Much like how the "default" video game controller was the old school NES controller (but probably has since been replaced with the ps2/3 dualshock).
- danudey 17y agoI can't understand why Apple would pay Jon Stewart to misrepresent the truth against their favour. He had an iPad on screen for a good two minutes, while insinuating to the audience that Apple's goons broke into Chen's house and stole their computers after Chen gave back a phone that they originally said wasn't theirs. In reality, Apple asked the DA to investigate what they believed to be theft of property, in response to which the police executed a search warrant on Chen's computers.
