We live in the age of Big Brother! No silly, not the TV show. I am talking about the Orwellian talk coming to life. When I was just a young lad there was a commercial ad run by Apple Computers (yes, they USED to make PC’s LOL). They bought a spot on the Superbowl in 1984 Apple Macintosh PC.

It was THE most talked about commerce that year and launched the phenomenon that is Apple today. This commerce was actually a spoof of the George Orwell novel called 1984. 

Please!!! Rate my video with 5-Star DSR’s :-)

Big Brother is a fictional character in George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the enigmatic dictator of Oceania, a totalitarian state taken to its utmost logical consequence – where the ruling elite (‘the Party’) wield total power for its own sake over the inhabitants.

In the society that Orwell describes, everyone is under complete surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens. The people are constantly reminded of this by the phrase "Big Brother is watching you", which is the core "truth" of the propaganda system in this state. Big Brother’s physical characteristics are intended to resemble Joseph Stalin although in the film his moustache more closely resembles Adolf Hitler’s.
