Are you kidding me?

A few days ago, Apple released its first ad for the iPod Touch. This one was created by a student, nice to see that Apple is reaching out to the Users for commercial advertising, who better?

Now to the point of this post, the Touch ad uses the same music (courtesy of Ms. Kelly Clarkson CSS) as a very strange Microsoft ad touting the Zune, released last year. All I have to say is "Are you Kidding Me?" kind of like our good friend Kevin from NBC's The Office.

Are You Kidding Me? I will take Safari over Wireless Sending any day, especially if a Lion tries to eat my arm after sending me a song that I can listen to for a limited amount of time before I have to purchase it.

*Update* So apparently I am an idiot. I assumed that the iPod Touch search (beginning of the ad) was for Kelly Clarkson because she was the one singing on the commercial. Dumb me, the group is actually called CSS and Kelly is certainly not a member. CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) is an independent group out of Brazil who is making a good bit of noise in the music world. And no, I do not wish they would change their name to the Cascading Style Sheets.
