A billboard image presents a distinct look with a white figure dancing on a black background. Obviously, the image is immediately evocative of an ipod ad, with what appears to be a traditionally garbed jewish man jamming out, perhaps to a song from "Fiddler on the Roof". The fear of course hits that Apple has gone deist, with the debut of 'jewpod'. Surely christpods, buddahpods, and islamapods will be soon to follow. The actual purpose of the image is revealed by the adjoining billboard text promoting the annual Chabad "To Life" Telethon supporting Chabad-Lubavitch, a west-coast based, jewish organization with charitable support centers. Whether the similarity between the telethon image and the ipod campaign images is coincidence or not would require, well, research, but regardless, it certainly catches the eye.
