I’m a Mac, I’m a PC, I’m an advert…
I’m not ashamed to admit it: I like the “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” advertisements. Some of them are silly, and some of them are downright hilarious.
Personally, my favourite one is the one where the Vista security guard keeps asking for permission to do things (”Cancel or allow?”), which if you are not familiar with, you can see here:

(The above link is a *.MOV. You’ll need Quicktime.)
There is a new one that just kills me. The PC guy is hiding in a pizza box in an effort to lure college students over so he can “get them”. The way he keeps popping out of the box is amusing, but I laughed out loud at his last line: “…come eat me… I’m a delicious pizza…”. Totally appeals my warped sense of humour. Check it out:

Some may claim that I am an Apple fanboy… and I guess I am. It’s hard to not be one when you appreciate such great products. ![]()
The best part about the “Vista security guard” ad is that Apple had popups to confirm administrative activity well before Vista came out.
Funny how that part didn’t make it into the ad.
