    I heard today that the ad is disrespectful to art.

    I say, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

    As the Oxford Dictionary of Phrase and Fable explains, this meme means that "it is always preferable to have attention focused on a name than to be unnoticed".

    But Apple, Tim Cook, and the M4 IPad are hardly "unnoticed"…
