Ken Segall, who in the past has worked for Apple and NeXT, tells the inside story about the 1985 Lemmings superbowl commercial that was a dud. It came a year after Apple made waves with their 1984 commercial. Apparently it was “a recycled idea lifted from a failed GE advertising pitch.” Wonderful read, especially if you are Apple enthusiast. [Ken Segall]
