Apple sued by Eminem over iTunes ad song

proof that apple has at last attained microsoft status. think different? eminem's different?

how about big companies actually featuring no-names?

how about the obnoxious mcdonald's ad featuring the new, modern 'cool hippie.....being in a mcdonald's ad is not cool.
