Or iPad snacks. Or something.<br /><br />An earlier one, for a tea company, was pulled from YouTube shortly after making a splash. It also follows a Taiwan politician dressing up as Jobs for a campaign.<br /><br />These are becoming so common — in Asia, at least - I hear from a pseudo-Steve Jobs spotter more frequently than I hear from my own dear mom. (I know, I know, I’ll call her later.)<br /><br />He explains: “The new TV spot — just 15 seconds long — was made before the resignation letter was released and planned at least two months ago when it was shot in a Taipei studio for a local snack company called Vedan Enterprise Corporation.”<br /><br />One wonders if they proliferate because the “costume” is so simple: black turtleneck, specs, jeans (with some wonky high-wasted jeans subbing for the signature Levis here) and bam! for all intents and purposes, you’re Steve Jobs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
