Punch The Apple Fanboy

One of the newer Apple ads ripping into Vista. I’m sure you’ve seen a version of it already but watch anyway.

    Haha DC Luigi is my new hero. Sadly the first link as now been removed from YouTube.
    I saw two of the new UK ads at the cinema last night and …well they’re pretty annoying to be honest!

    There was a great comment about them on the BBC News web site where someone said “In reality that campaign probably contributed largely to the sense of well-being (and dare one say it, self-righteousness?) of Mac owners. ”

    How very true. Now these adverts have apparently always reflected the rivalry between Bill “Grandad Sweater” Gates and Steve “Bury Me In Jeans & Polo Neck” Jobbs, the PC being Gates, the Mac is (naturally) Jobbs.
    As DC Luigi says “they’re just computers”. What next, a Microsoft campaign saying “OOOOOOOOOOH YOUR SHIT AAAAAAAAH!”. Probably not.

    I’d best get ready and go to the Apple store opening then :)

    Oops, also just noticed my typo, Steve Jobs, not Jobbs. Tut!

    Ah I’m not the only one to have blogged on this subject then. But be honest they are quite amusing. Any company that becomes that desperate, you just have to chuckle.
