    Apple Fussy; Accuses Fuse Over Parody Ads

    fusebeerbong097.jpg imageApparently Apple's none-too-keen on music video channel Fuse's new outdoor advertisements which mimic the iPod silhouettes campaign, replacing Apple's dancing music fans with people enjoying a nice pull of the beer bong or a casual round of self-pleasuring (suggested word: self-plaguing). The Post is reporting (haha, sorry, "reporting." That just kills me.) that Apple's lawyers have made a few nasty calls Fuse's way, threatening a lawsuit unless the ads are taken down. Adrants has a single ad, but I'm sure our legion of subway-riding readers can play the cameraphone tip to send us in the rest of the ads.

    And as our buddy Plywood pointed out, Toronto's Flow 93.5 FM had an award-winning silhouette campaign about, oh, two years before the iPod campaign. (Thanks, gruverja!)
