I just saw this mac commercial that showed the PC guy as an emo. These ads are getting so pathetic that they accuse PC users as emos. That's really low. Instead of telling viewers the good things about a mac they make a cheap insult about the PC.

No, he makes some comment about going to listen to some emo, and has an anarchy sign on his back.

Hi, I'm $1200+.
And I am available in 99% of all computers out there, well cheaper, and supported by half the market.

Hey, I never get viruses.*
That's because you're closed-source. That's also why you have few compatible programs. Besides, I have plenty of malware blockers available.

I'm all about music, movies, and pictures.
I do all of that too...... plus games.

Now that I have Intel; I'm a PC too.
.....But I thought PC sucked? Why would you want to be PC?

You guys don't even advertise.
Because OUR PRODUCT IS INCLUDED ON EVERY OTHER BRAND OF COMPUTERS OUT THERE!!!

.........I have an iPod.

Hellz yeah man. Amen to this!! The most truth ever spoken. I think "PC" should make commercial with these exact same words. Except for the last part; it should have a Windows logo with the Mac logo getting thrown out of it. That would be great.

I just saw the ad on tv and it doesn't make any sense at all. It's basically saying that PC can't handle media applications?? WTF

OMFG I KNOW! There commericials are so gay, all they have is some young guy walking around looking cool representing the mac, and some emo bitch representing the PC. They have such a crappy product that they need to insult pc's to sell a fucking mac.

It's called copy and paste, dickwad.

And to the guy whose name you mispelled, you rule. You're commentary is flawless.
