Which Campaign is Better: Microsoft's Laptop Hunter or Apple's Get a Mac?

i'll never pay the apple tax.

side note: i saw that pc guy from the apple ads in a movie the other day... was it primer?

 

I used to think Apple was kind of cool, and cutting edge. The people in the coffee shops who had Apples looked really sharp and the young ladies who had them were usually hot.

Now I'm just sick of it. A lot of these Apple users have developed an elitist attitude. If you get one for the graphics, or other technical reasons, fine. But if you get one just to be seen in your jogging suit at Starbucks with it, give me a break.

I would have to say the ads, though, are a draw. I don't think MS should have even shown the Macs. The mother even says they are "pretty." But the money savings point goes a long way. Beating up on Vista is getting kind of old but still works in the Mac ad.

 

The guy in the Mac ads is a total reinvention of his character. That guy used to play a nerd or dork as in Galaxy Quest. He helped Tim Allen navigate through the star trek ship.

This isn't even a decent ad campaign...from either company.

Oh sure they're cute.....yawn.

But come on ! Men have been measuring ##### and comparing sizes for years. Why do we want to drag women and kids into this?

Guy #1 I just got a new CS Mustang....dude.

Guy #2 So what, my mom just bought me a new BMW 750Li

Guy #3 My dad bought me a bicycle.

And the ONLY place any of them go, is to high school.

If you like it, buy it. If you're comparing your #### size...buy an Apple. Gold diggers and little boys will always be impressed.

BTW, I just bought a Barrett .50. Anybody wanna go dove hunting?
