iPhone Users Are Mindless Zombies in New Nokia Commercial

Grunting, dead-eyed and stiff -- this is how Nokia portrays iPhone users in its latest ad.

Posted to YouTube on Friday, the video shows a horde of zombies that look suspiciously like overexposed flash photos (complete with pallid skin and red eyes) moving past our soon-to-be victim.

Eventually, he walks on to encounter one member of the living dead (a.k.a. the Apple fanboy) mindlessly taking photos with its iPhone 5. At this point, it's too late for our hapless victim to escape, and viewers can only assume that he also falls prey to overexposure.

The ad, which promotes the Lumia 925 -- Nokia's new flagship phone -- ends with the tagline, "The best pictures in any light. Even without the flash."

The handset maker debuted the Lumia 925, which runs Windows Phone 8, last month

Shortly after the iPhone 5 debuted late last year, users complained that a purple flare appeared on pictures taken with the device's camera whenever it was pointed toward a bright light.
