Student’s Ad Gets a Remake, and Makes the Big Time – New York Times

Pete Mortensen ()

The Internet is a weird place. According to the New York Times, the above fake iPod Touch commercial put together by 18-year-old Mac fan Nick Haley will be remade and launched as the first actual ad for the flagship iPod on Sunday. The incredibly well-made commercial uses shots of the Touch in use timed to “Music is my Hot, Hot Sex” by CSS, which used the line “My music is where I’d like you to touch.”

    Wow! That’s a gorgeous ad. This is really what I was hoping YouTube would become — a place for really talented young people to break into the creative industry.
