Apple has begun airing a new television ad for the company’s iTunes Store featuring the band Coldplay and lead singer and pianist Chris Martin (and father of Apple Martin).
The ad highlights the upcoming release (June 17th) of Coldplay’s new album, Viva la Vida (Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends) exclusively on Apple’s iTunes Store:

I don’t understand MDN’s title on this article… Cold Play and Apple’s Dad? Huh?
I thought Steve Jobs was in the commercial.
Macintosh,
What part of “father of Apple Martin” don’t you understand?
And it’s “Coldplay,” not “Cold Play.”
“What part of “father of Apple Martin” don’t you understand?”
I don’t get it either. I’m not a Cold Play fan so a little help here might clear things up.
Thanks
Actually, when I saw the headline I thought it was going to be Justin Long’s dad… in other words, “Hello, I’m a Mac. And I’m Mac’s dad”.
Of course, if someone was going to play a Mac Daddy who could they possibly get? ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
@ Tired of Retards:
That’s why I use retards like you to explain it to me. I can then devote my valuable brain power to more important things.
Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s first child was a girl they named “Apple”…sheesh, people, if you’re that thick, try Google before looking completely foolish…
It is Apple Martin, father of ColdPlay’s Chris Martin. MDN’s headline is worded wrong.
… SON of ColdPlay’s Chris Martin.
Sorry.
@ Ottawa Mark:
Sorry, I have a life. I don’t read about what other people name their children.
who the hell are Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow?
And Google? Never heard of it!
daughter of ColdPlay’s Chris Martin
Spark will feel a little more sorry
@Macintosh
Hmmm…do you have dialup access? You have time in your “life” to complain about MDN’s joke, but not enough to Google three or four words together? Hmm…not to mention time to swipe back at other people…[removed]void(0);
And their second child is Moses Martin. But if there’s a third, there’s still a chance for Pixar Martin. Doubtful, but you never know.
You know how I know Apple’s gay?
No, because of a survey that says they are.
Blah Blah Blah… and Blah.
everyone here are a bunch of retards. it’s a commercial. get over it.
I thought the mix of the last year style silhouette and regular video was very cool and defines this years in between new style. Everyone will copy this, just wait.
I have to agree with those user who where confused on the headline. It’s not like the band is called Chris Martin and Coldplay, it’s just called Coldplay. Chris Martin is just the lead singer. The whole Apple dad thing is just a confusing way to throw in the word “Apple” in the headline.
Nuff said…
your jobs!
I would have left the contrasting iPod white headphones in there, though.
Coldplay sux.
I love Coldplay.
“it’s a commercial. get over it.”
True, but if it started showing up on Zunes, I’d have to laugh my ass off.
They could have picked a better band.
Like that sockpuppet Triumph the Comic Dog says, “I liked you better when you were U2.”
