Half of them are artistes and writers?

I'm more offended by the Gateway commercials, which feature a scantily clad woman supposedly parodying a sexy music video. Naturally this commercial came on while my kids were watching a perfectly acceptable family show during the family hour. The advertisers don't seem to care who they offend.

I think the ads are cute, but that DJ chick is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too skinny.

I agree- the pitch seems to be: "hey we can do the same stuff Windows does, so buy us instead"

.. uh... WHY..?

What are they teaching these gen-Xers in marketing school nowadays... nothing?? How about we start with "find a need, and fill it" which is followed by "CREATE a need if you have to... then fill it",

These ads seem to say "were just like them- but were NOT them, so buy us"

I've noticed the one woman who says that the company she works for has all PC's at work, but she's got a Mac at home. Yeah, that's a great sales tactic. If you're serious about your computing (like businesses are) use PC's, but an apple is good enough for the home user...

Apple advertisements the most idiotic

Nuff said.

A few months back, I was browsing around a computer store and sat and fiddled with the new Macs. I'm a PC guy (linux, winblows) from way back, but recognised immediately that they had redeamed themselves from that ergonomic nightmare called the iMac (version 1). Apple displays are crisp and clear, the hardware seems rugged and well made, and from what I've heard are quite maintenance free for the end user who only wants a usable machine and doesn't care about the intricate workings under the hood. I think they have a good product and a viable alternative to a Microsoft box.

I quarrel with 'intelligent', LOL. Obnoxious is the word I would use. I have not had the 'blue screen of death' once since I installed XP about 5 months ago.

IMO, the Dell ads grate, and the Gateway cow is preferable to Ted.

Dear Apple:

Thanks for designing a computer that even a dork like me can use. I was using this horrid little Microsoft machine before and I just never could figure out how to use it. It was so complicated.

The Apple machine is so great. I can easily store all my Britney Spears MP3s on it and also all the pictures I have of my favorite wrestlers and body builders. I could never do those cool things on my Microsoft PC, or at least, I never could figure out a way.

I am just so happy with my Apple, as you can see by my picture. See my picture? I am so happy. Happy about my Apple. Besides, I am glad I don't use the Microsoft PC any more because I read somewhere that Bill Gates, who runs Microsoft, is a very bad man. I also read that Steve Jobs, who runs Apple, is a very good man. At least that is what I read. So I am so happy that I now have my Apple.

Where are the "people of color" in the Apple commercials? Oh, I forgot, these people are supposed to be "hapless boobs", to use your words. (Hey, at least they aren't four white males pictured....)

[RnMomof7]

Thats me (hapless)and thats why I love my Mac...:>)
