Try January 24, 1984.  It was launched with the now famous "See why 1984
won't be like '1984'" commercial with the woman in shorts and a tank top
who threw a sledge hammer through the screen that was brainwashing
everyone into the IBM PC world.  It aired only once, during the Super
Bowl, as a commercial, but was replayed by different people quite often
and I believe it won a Clio Award.
