Full FeedYet another “Get a Mac” Ad
During tonight’s broadcast of American Idol, another Get a Mac Ad premiered. The ad features PC in a country music- inspired outfit, singing a sad country song about Vista’s fallibility. The howling blood hound also ads a “nice touch”, but Mac’s kind words fail again to console PC’s Vista woes. This ad follows the release of two other ads, “Pep Rally” and “Group”.
Recently, I have been in general disappointed with the newer ads, but this new ad ends that streak. It is definitely up there with the likes of “Genius” (definitely my all time favorite), “Security” and of course the very first Get a Mac Ad, “Virus”.
What do you think of the new ads?

How about some ads the even the playing field: two guys like the one of the left—one a pc, the other a mac. Or ditto with two guys like the mac, Better yet a real bitch fest featuring 2 hip gals or two older ladies…

on May 16, 2008 at 07:19 AM - LINKApplewatcher hits the main point: The whole premise of this cycle of ads is that PCs are stodgy and boring, and so are their owners. The Mac is youthful and cool and if you want to be that way you better buy that one. But I wonder how many people can remember that the Mac was the next evolutionary step from the II-series, but Apple sucked in as many owners as they could with the last hurrah—the II-gs. This was a lot bigger and more powerful than the earlier II’s, but it became obsolete almost immediately. That slap upside the head to legit users created a mass exodus to (drum roll) the PC and now they want those people back. By employing adolescent-level ideology. Shows how much respect Apple has to both existing and potential customers, doesn’t it?
