The joys of cartering to the lowest common denominator.

I hate the ads, but I also hate smug superiority and elitism which is a big part of them. Maybe if MS would make a commercial of the PC guy snapping and taking a baseball bat to the Mac guy and saying "No so superior without your kneecaps are ya? Huh? are ya?" I would fell better

Microsoft should fire back.

PC: Hey Mac, what do you have there?
Mac: Oh, it's just a font collection I found here in the computer section.
PC: Oh, that's cool. I'm sure they'll look great.
Mac: Yeah... yeah... it's the only software I can use here at the store.
PC: Oh? I've got this whole cart full of cool games. Battlefield 2147, Super Kung Fu Fighers, Jet Combat 2...
Mac: Really? That's neat. Hey, this CD has more than 1000 fonts!
PC: Yeah, that's great. Uh, I'll see you later, I've got some gaming to do.
PC: Oooh, Flight Simulator XLIII!

Mac ads should just say, "We're basically the same as a PC now, but we have OSX which makes Windows look like a pile of puke."

That might actually get people to go look at it, but truth in advertising just doesn't happen.

Just once, when "Mac" starts bragging about being able to run Windows aps, or making movies easier, or any of that other crap, I'd like to see "PC" reach over and slap the daylights out of him......then look down to the floor (where "Mac" is lying, groaning), and say, "Yeah, but I still own 94% of the market, don't I???"

Hey, flash from the past......Justin Long, who plays Mac, was the leader of the geeky kids in "Galaxy Quest"! Guess that role just works for him, over and over, eh? LOL
