HALF-MIL HITS ON 'NET AD THAT HAMMERS HILL By GEOFF EARLE March 20, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - A scathing parody of Sen. Hillary Clinton exploded across the Internet yesterday, as more than 500,000 people viewed a re-edited Apple computer ad that casts the former first lady as an oppressive overlord. The YouTube film, created by someone known only as "ParkRidge 47," splices a giant black and white Big Brother image of Clinton delivering campaign platitudes to brainwashed masses - until a blond female athlete chucks a sledgehammer at her droning image. "On Jan. 14, the Democratic primary will begin. And you'll see why 2008 won't be like 1984," goes the tagline - before trumpeting BarackObama.com. The film is a reworking of a Macintosh computer ad that aired during the 1984 Super Bowl. Sen. Barack Obama's campaign denies creating the film, which has the hallmarks of a professional production, and Clinton's camp wouldn't comment. The blogosphere was abuzz about ParkRidge47. Clinton was born in Park Ridge, Ill., in 1947.
