PC vs Mac vs Me ad

This PC vs Mac ad crap is getting out of hand. It was funny for the first couple of times I saw them, but then it got old quick. I’m a Mac user and I find it quite elitist which is quite…umm…elitist. I can’t imagine how those hardcore PC fanatics take them. Anyways, lately these commercials have been getting a bit of press.

The LATimes recently interviewed Justin Long which touched a bit on his Mac role. He states that he’s wary about people mostly recognizing him from the commercials rather than his other roles like in the TV show Ed (which i loved) or the movie Dodgeball (which i loved). Like people running into him in the streets and getting pissed at him. I gotta say, lets hope he doesnt go down the same path as the Dell Dude. But I have faith in him. He is semitalented.

As for John Hodgman, the PC guy, he’s in now in my book of cool guys. Funny guy. I’m sure he’s getting good press from it. Kinda like playing the role of the underdog.

And then there are the spoofs flooding in. Because it’s “funny”. Except 90.7% of them aren’t. Though, I’ve gotta admit, some are worth mentioning. Here’s a halo version. and here’s a wii vs ps3 one (semi-nws).

In conclusion…lets hope this internet fad fizzles sooner than later. For everyone’s sake. And before it makes me switch back to PCs.
