Apple wants you to make your own Mother's Day ad - CNET

You might have already seen this ad.

It's a poignant montage of images and videos of moms and kids shot on iPhone. (That's iPhone in the plural, you understand.)

With Apple's MomsShotOniPhone.com site, you give your first name and upload a picture. You then see it as the last picture of the Apple Mother's Day ad.

The last frame of the custom-made ad is a title: "Happy Mother's Day, Love Zuck."

Well, that's the name I used when I tried, as you can see.

Once your video is done, you're encouraged to post it to Facebook. If I didn't, it waed me that the video would be lost forever. "This content is no longer available," it said.

What a gorgeous presager of the future, when Facebook will be the Inteet and everything will happen there. Or else.

Those not moved by sentimentalism might be amused by the disclaimer over the end title of the custom-made ad.

It reads: "Final photo may not have been shot on iPhone."

Apple's lawyers are nothing if not fine tuners.
