The Postal Service vs. Apple

So the new Apple commercial is a shot by shot rip off (or homage) of the video for “Such Great Heights” by The Postal Service. You can see a side by side comparison if you don’t believe me.

Now, Ben Gibbard has posted this response:

It has recently come to our attention that Apple Computers’ new television commercial for the Intel chip features a shot-for-shot recreation of our video for ‘Such Great Heights’ made by the same filmmakers responsible for the original. We did not approve this commercialization and are extremely disappointed with both parties that this was executed without our consultation or consent.

So there you go.
