The only one I've seen is the Ants one and it's not too bad. The
problem with the whole theme is that they took the original idea from
Apple Computer's "Think Different" and didn't change it too much
obviously. Being a tech support specialist for a school district
with 600+ Macs the whole idea is quite funny. Steve Jobs coined the
phrase "Think Different" with the introduction of the iMac, which
revolutionized the home PC (If you don't believe me, just look at how
many iMac colored ANYTHING there is now). I guess Dodge hopes to
capitalize on the phrase in the same manner.
