Those ads are pretty funny but I do agree, the ad campaign isnt exactly fair.

The Mac is supposedly hip but i believe I saw that a poll thought the guy was a pretentious asshat and people felt somewhat sorry for the PC and identified themselves with him.

Not exactly the goal in mind when making the ad.

I thought these ads were going to be pulled. I am sure I read about it on FR, a month or two back. What's up? Did Apple, like a Democrat would, just lie to us?

I don't know if I feel sorry for the PC guy but every time I see the ad I can't think of anything else other than the South Park episode on hybrid cars.

One of the funniest things I've ever seen...

Who responds to polls? Liberals.

And what do liberals like? Victims.

Which is exactly what PC users are. And since, statistically, 90% +- of the viewers of the ads are PC users, it's logical that they would identify with the PC guy and feel sorry for him, which means the ads are working.

BTW, I think the ads are funnier than hell.
