I haven't seen this mentioned previously, but there's a commercial for Mac Book that makes me cringe every time it comes on. I can't find it to post here, but it consists of horrible sounding piano music accompanied by some awful singing. I'm sure, since it's Apple, there's some underlying message I'm missing - I'm just focused on the awful music.

If you watch any of the World Cup programming, they play this commercial a lot!

I saw it last night and thought "STOP IT!" The Apple commercials just to be somewhat decent...not anymore.



**After looking at the credit, this is an ACTUAL song you can buy on Apple iTunes/Music???
2 questions - WHY?? and WTF??! 🤔

Everybody in commercials nowadays has to be portrayed as "artists".

Typical pretentious millennial trash.

What gender was that croaking singer? The voice sounds like its retarded/extreme case of Down's Stndrome. Bernie, Oprah or Hilary shoul employ this turd du jour for their next campaign.Typical Apple crap!

If I worked in the CIA and had to interrogate terrorists, I'd have this Apple commercial "song" on a constant loop at the highest volume possible. 

I would also throw in this old gem from U. Of Phoenix. I bet I would the terrorist would spill his guts within 90 minute max.  Lot of other ads / songs I'm sure I can think of to use as "humane torture."
