YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE ABOUT POLITICS HA





It sorta made me chuckle because the moment Microsoft finally decided to answer the "PC = work nerds!" thing propagated by these ads Apple goes AAH with this.

Irony anyone? I normally like the Apple ads, but these ones that attack the Microsoft ads are really dumb. :downs:

I found the accountant ad pretty funny, but the other 2 were pretty dumb.

Apple is being obnoxious.

"How dare they spend money on advertising! Shame on them!"

I'm guessing they can be considered "successful" because they invoke a reaction from the audience. Even if it's pure hate, everyone seems to remember "those Apple ads."

Yeah, I find that particular one quite funny. The actors have got a decent chemistry now too.

I'd like Apple's ads if they consisted of more than "Hi. I'm a PC. I suck." "I'm a Mac. Buy me."

Slamming another product while vaguely praising your own doesn't work for me, Apple.

If Microsoft plays their cards right, they can make Apple look like the douchebag politicans that run smear campaigns, and give themselves the image of the honest, we-really-care politicians.

Wow, wouldn't that be a turn from the last decade.

The ads are good, and they're funny.

Wholly slanderous, and only about half truth....still good though.

FYI, the guy who plays PC is gonna be on TWiT on november 2nd. Check it fools.
