In case you are like me and don’t follow politics all that much here is an article from the sites news sours, The BodogBeat:

Barack Obama’s campaign says it had nothing to do with the YouTube video that attacks his primary Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. (AP Images)
A 74-second video posted on YouTube remixes Ridley Scott’s classic “1984″ Super Bowl ad that introduced Apple to the world, into an attack on the Clinton campaign.

The commercial shows the same blond young female athlete running with a sledgehammer toward a widescreen, where an ominous Big Brother figure that has now been replaced by the image of Hillary Clinton, drones to a mass of dispassionate followers. The headline, “On Jan. 14, the Democratic primary will begin. And you’ll see why 2008 won’t be like 1984″ appears after Hillary’s image has been smashed with the sledgehammer. An updated Apple symbol, transformed into an O, is followed by the logo: BarackObama.com. The controversial video has received more than 600,000 views.

Will Apple file a lawsuit against the YouTube user who posted the controversial commercial? Will the mastermind behind the ad be revealed as a member of Obama’s campaign team? Bodog has all your Hillary 1984 video odds in Bodog’s Sportsbook.”
