MacDailyNews Take: It’s unknown whether this casting call is for an Apple spot or not. Just imagine the amount of hell that would break loose if it turns out to be a Microsoft commercial for something like their Vista rehab efforts or, Jobs forbid, their Zune failure! If you have more info regarding this commerical, please send to .
I just officially changed my name to Steve Jobs. Los Angeles here I come!!!
not Apple
I how hey fry these punks
Apple legal get ready!!!!!
I wonder how many people will consider having their names legally changed in exchange for their fifteen minutes of fame.
It’s probably going to go like this:
Hi. I’m Steve Jobs and I prefer Windows to Mac.
this is dell
Ballmer/windows vista
“4. Tell us a bit about if you use a PC or a MAC computer in your work or personal life”
MAC? Can’t be Apple’s ad then.
Is Steve Jobs that much of a household name to resonate in a nationally televised commercial?
Might be good for some kind of web ad I guess.
They can use my iTele to get there on time.
For real!
Agreed — not an Apple spot… an attempt to ‘slam’ Apple.
“Hi, my name is Steve Jobs and I *love* using Windows Vista… while in Latin America, or SoCal, or any other place that has hot hispanic chicks.”
wtf?
It looks like the old Circuit City Commercials starring a cowboy whose real name was (supposedly) Bill Gates.
Smells like an anti-apple commercial to me, but we’ll all find out in good time I suppose.
better yet,
“Hi, my name is Steve Jobs and I *love* using Windows Vista while my girlfriend http://www.charo.com/ serves me nachos & margaritas. Koochi, koochi, koochi!!”
MaWo: ‘serious’. As in, “Are they really??”
I smell another SNL fake ad skit brewing.
Beautiful Spanish girl – 20’s. Should be able to speak Spanish or at least have a fabulous accent.
Please. Everyone’s looking for one of those.

Koochi, koochi, koochi!!”
They’re gonna cast CHARO?
Given the relative paucity of people named “Steve Job” in the United States, would it be easier to just look them up and cold call rather than putting out a casting call?.
BTW if this isn’t an Apple commercial, the real Steve Jobs should see to it that all the other Steve Jobs are are Mac users.
Southern Spain = the most beautiful girls in the world. Seriously. Close your eyes and think Subcommander T’Pol.
I clicked Tommy Boy’s link, and almost all of the ones listed are Steve Jobs, President, Apple Store (with addresses of probably various Apple Store locations, including one in North Carolina).
Am I the only one besides “I want me ilele” that wants my itele. Wouldn’t mind going to Joe’s Stone Crab in South Beach for dinner tonight and it’d make it all that much easier
“Charo” aka María del Rosario Pilar Martínez Molina Baeza Rasten. Now that’s a mouthful.
She was soooo hot – 40 years ago. Her face is starting to look as nasty as Joan Rivers. The wonders of plastic surgery. Eeeesh!

At least she can still play the guitar.

salsa,
Yeah, I wonder if she’ll still be trying to shake her booty when she’s using a walker. Will she look like her mother does in this clip?
“Southern Spain = the most beautiful girls in the world. Seriously. Close your eyes and think Subcommander T’Pol.”
Southern Spanish chicks have pointy ears?
This is either an SNL spot, or MS (thinking they are going to be oh so clever) is going to try doing their own take on a PC/Mac commercial.
Either way, it should be as funny as a lead balloon.
