Mac ads

[Ongaru]

So far mac ads have made my blood more than any other ad. The amount of pretentiousness and ignorance is bad enough, what makes them worse is the amount of morons that believe every word of it and stand by them like it's the mac user's holy bible.

macs are those expensive pretty toys that any tweak will cause its arms to fall off, and waranty

Whatever. I know what I, and thousands of professionals prefer. And it wouldnt become an industry standard for no reason. Face it mate, even with all your techno mumbo jumbo, professional prefer the mac experience. Case closed

Oh man, that's rich.

"Forget you and your facts and your evidence that backs up your reasoning. I'm right because I said so. Case closed."

Could you please stop misrepresenting college students as elitists tools who can't hold an argument? If you've been proven wrong at least have the dignity to bow out with some grace instead of falling back on "because I said so" logic.

Im studying Music Technology at collage right now.

I thought 'collage' students were better than that.

The ads are genius for the following reason.

People who like them will be impressed with the humor and ultimately base their purchase off of something so fascille.

People who dont like them often have prior knowledge about the real differences of macs and pc's and definately wont be swayed either way.

People who dont care might get a foolhearty laugh out of it.

the ads themselves aren't annoying - its the iSmug that the owners of the actual product have

I dont know about you but if they made the mac vs pc ads more like this I think I'd watch them more.

I think they're biased, but make for good parodys. (Truenuff films, for example)
A personal favorite of mine, which I'm not 100% if I made it up or subconciously remembered it was:
Mac "Hi, I'm a mac"
Pc: "Hey, mac, played any good games lately?"
Mac: "Shut up".
Yes, the ads bug me, but it makes for good discussion with the weird linux kid who sits next to me. He's completely unbiased between the two OS's, he runs Linux.
