...everyone who's watched the "Get a Mac" ads "comes away liking the 'PC guy' while wanting to push the 'Mac guy' under a bus."
Not me...and thus the theorem is proved false.
It says "most people", not "everyone". And thus you are proven to be quick to comment on something you haven't read correctly. Like most people here. And BTW, the original article says "most everyone".
May I just say that I have seen hundreds of parodies of the Mac vs PC ads on YouTube and elsewhere and not a single one of them has been funny. Note to YouTube video makers: You're not funny.
Who cares? Really? These ads were obnoxious, embarrassing, and conciously demeaning making me cringe to be a mac owner. Apple need to grow up and stop these 'mudslinging' ads.
P.S. The joke at the end about the new blackbooks MAKES THIS WORTH WATCHING... it was hilarious
Hmmm, I see that as more racist than anything else, with the corny 'bigger harddrive', 'run faster' jokes. I agree with the sentiment that 99% of youtube creators need to have their computer rights removed.

Why are you watching hundreds of these if they dont entertain you at all? You should probably find another hobby. Go run or something

Hopefully with Google behind the wheel, YouTube will shape up.
there was nothing rude about the "bigger harddrive" and "run faster" comments unless you are inferring they mean something. People need to stop being so touchy about racism, accept the problem and enjoy some nuetral, non attacking jokes on the subject that reflect positively on the situation.
but i definitely agree with you... YouTube jokes are often crap
What's odd is, nearly everyone I know sees the ad and wants to push the Mac guy under a bus... and then get a Mac.
Go figure.
What? In the rush to get to the store? Or maybe they should push the Mac Guy under a bus...to promote AppleCare, coz you never know! (or maybe rewind it with TimeMachine)
Terrible ads & Apple selling the most Macs ever! Who'd have thought it?
They should replace Justin Long with Dennis Haysbert:
PC: I'm a PC.
DH: And I'm a Mac.
~look of shock from PC for why the Mac has changed~
DH: Ya, we come in black now.
Probably not p.c. enough for the US audience. Oh, well.
Well, Macs do have minority appeal but maybe we need another angle. They never really promoted Bootcamp so maybe have Dennis cross-dressing to show the Mac can also go the other way - putting the 'Camp' into Bootcamp, or Nazi (y'know elitist minority) maybe in boots...
Those ads make Mac users look smug and arrogant and while I somewhat enjoy Justin (or whatever his name is) as an actor, those ads made me embarrassed to use a Mac.
I like the current comericals. Mac girl could be intresting. If they showed how big of a variety of people use macs or something like that. They could cast famous people. What I enjoy out of the comericals the most is how simple they are. The messege they send out is so easy to understand, much like a mac. No flashy colors or things that look complicated. Yes, there should be a "Hey its me mac, i got some upgrades" when 10.5 comes out. Now im excited. lol
Justin (Mac Guy) was hella funny in Galaxy Quest. Especially towards the end when they have to deal with some hardcore geek that made an actual walkthrough of the ship to guide the actors on the *real* ship to find the core or somethin'.

the mac guy should actually be a mac _girl_
I thought he was! The Brazilian one - was there anyone else in that ad?

Well maybe I watched 3 and mathematically extrapolated the crapness. Did you think of that?
They should make Christopher Walken the mac guy
and he should say... "i've got a FEVER... and the only cure... IS MORE COWBELL"
