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 .
If this is an advert for anything other than Apple, then it is obviously dependent on people knowing the name of Steve Jobs. For people who do, then it will backfire, because regardless of their opinion of Apple, they’re going to know it’s a crap joke.
Why is this on an Apple news site? HA HA!!! His name won’t be STEVEN PAUL JOBS. His name must be exactly as “Steve Jobs” I see. No one mentioned that!!!!
Hummm, could be – The Jerk 2
And “Steve” will get another “Job”
If ya know what I mean

This is obviously the work of those miserable swine from Redmond. Now that Emperor Gates has gone off to build another Death Star, he’s left Darth Ballmer in charge. He’s just like Darth Vader, but without the cool powers and svelte physique.
Maybe Microsoft is going to make their pc vs mac commercials with a real Steve Jobs?

IOW, they’re remaking Spaceballs. Ballmer as Dark Helmet? Yikes.
And WTF is with these old Mel Brooks movies resembling MS?!?

Next up: Blazing Saddles.
Either way, it should be as funny as a lead balloon.
Funny would be Charo’s rapid-fire Spanish against Gates’ wimp Kermit-talk.
I’m Steve Jobs and so’s my wife…
Maybe Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself should submit for this role? He would most certainly get more than the 1$ he gets from Apple

It’s the search for a replacement CEO. Maybe the name is magic, like Rumpelstiltskin or something.
Casting call for anyone who’s name is Bill Gates.
Send info to Steve@Apple.com
The real one is also eligible to apply.
“like Rumpelstiltskin or something.
Weaving straw into a gold master.
Maybe the name is magic, like Rumpelstiltskin or something.
Then hire Lisa Brennan-Jobs?
because it’s a silly idea. ANY ad with a fake Steve Jobs is a silly idea, because only 30% of people actually know who he is and only 5% care. Tech site users like this know, but not the buying public.
Can the Spanish girl be of Central American origin or are they only casting citizens of the country of Spain?
Why MAC instead of Mac? Doesn’t make much sense (if Apple made that…)
Be sure to include the following information:
1. Your name Steve Jobs
2. Role/Category you are submitting for Spanish Girl
tang,
Maybe what they are really looking for is a girl from the country of Spain whose name is Steve Jobs for a commercial about MAC cosmetics.
