Leave it to Rick Santorum to copy the wrong Apple ad: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57386872-1/santorum-goes-all-apple-1984-with-new-ad/ (90% Lemmings, a disaster, and only 10% 1984). HT @KuraFire

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 28, 2012 at 4:11:00 PM

@KuraFire I agree with the commenter who pointed out that it's more Lemmings than 1984. Bizarre.
