Wherever you are in the world, if you watch TV, you'll have doubtless seen Apple's "Switch" commercials.
If you haven't, these are 30-second commercials, featuring real people, from a variety of backgrounds and professions, talking about how they ended up switching to the Macintosh platform.
The usual gist of their story is, "I hated using Windows, got a Mac, and everything works just fine."
So anyway, there's a new addition to this series of ads, that apparently, is not going to be shown on television. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe because she says, "Bummer", at the end.
Regardless of that, she's a cutie, even if she does look and act like she's smoked a couple of joints, or had rather too much cough syrup. Her name is Ellen Feiss, and you can see her advert here.
I think part of the appeal of the commercial is her reaction to the disaster. It's like she's too wasted to get angry, which maybe isn't such a bad thing.
There's a myriad of fan sites, that have sprung up about this lass. Talk about 15 minutes of fame!
If you care about such things, here are a couple of the URLs:

So what WAS the top story of 2004?
