"Great way to make fun of elitist assholes!"

Okay, I like how it makes fun of those damn Apple commercials(even if by accident). I'm so damn tired of those things. Really, I used Apple computers long before I ever touched a PC and prefer the later, simply because it works better. Apples are for people who want to be different for the sake of being different or people described in the summary title up there.
A few responces to Crack_Ho's review.
First of all, Apple's commercials are not light-hearted and amusing, they are simply trying to get attention by saying "Look at this, its a computer, but it runs on different programing, has a different *cough*dumbed-down*cough* mouse, and a different look!" to everyone that feels that to be original they have to stand out.
The only good thing I've found about the Mac is that it has a learning curve of a flat line, so even the computer stupid can use them and learn the basics of computer use(another reason for the mouse).
Now there were no Disco Bunnymen, there WERE people in funky neon radsuits disco dancing, and I can sorta see how that's embarassing, but at least they didn't go around saying "Intel, it's better because it's not the same as the others..." or something to that effect, all it was was party music and people dancing, attracting others to see what's going on, so that they see a new Pentium chip is out.
Now, I'm not saying that the intent of the cartoon was to be anti-macintosh, but no matter what was intended, but that's sure what it seems like and it would serve in that function.
The other reviewers are thinking for themselves when they wrote their reviews, it just happens that the VAST MAJORITY'S OPPINION seems to agree on the same point.
Now I could start making broad generalizations as you have and say that apparently you're a Mac user who hates people lashing out against your prefered system. But I'm not, because I simply don't know. All I know is that you misunderstood what was happening review-wise and began to flame. So I came here to straighten things out. Is this a flame? Some would say yes others no, to me, I'd say its a really low level flame. Am I missinformed? Its possible, as virtually anything is possible. Proove to me my mistakes and I'll make an admission before as many people as possible.
Thank all who read this for their time.
