Trump, like Apple, has smashed the status quo

Who knew that the one throwing the hammer would be a loudmouth billionaire with a unique hairstyle?

Sunday marked 35 Super Bowls since Apple unveiled its iconic 1984 commercial.

In that ad, a young woman, Anya Major, sprints toward a wall of television monitors, where Big Brother, played by David Graham, intones, “Our unification of thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth,” before a sea of grayish, sexually indistinct gray human beings.

Major throws the hammer, smashes the monitors and awakens the assembled rabble.  

The commercial, routinely ranked as the greatest in history, announced boldly that the Apple Macintosh would destroy the status quo.
