A Taiwanese television commercial is coming under fire for mocking the late Steve Jobs. The Android tablet TV spot features Taiwanese impersonator and comedian Ah-Ken donning angel wings and a halo, and runs for approximately 20 seconds. Check out the clip below:
While the advertisement does not specifically Mention Jobs' name or any Apple products (like the custom iPod cover), Ah-Ken, who sports a black turtleneck and jeans in the spot, looks eerily similar to the Apple cofounder. At one point, the comedian even says, "Thank God I get to play with other tablets," while taking out an Android-powered ActionPad device.
According to Mashable, the TV ad is particularly hard-hitting because the late Jobs had expressed that he felt Google's Android operating system was a copy-cat of Apple's iOS.
What do you think -- is the new commercial disrespectful?
