"Get A Mac" Commercials

Today I will be focusing on the "Get A Mac" ad campaign, marketed by Apple for their Macintosh computers. When not refereed to by their overly close-minded official name (Get A Mac? Don't tell me what the fuck to do, Steve Jobs. How about I tell you to stop being a retard and not be a Vegan any more?), they are more commonly called the "Mac Vs PC Ads", or something similar. I'm going to go through some of my (least) favorites, and explain why they are fucking stupid.

1. Mac Vs PC - Viruses



Ah, the age old argument of Viruses. Macfags love using the argument, "But our Macs don't get viruses, you prick!" You know what I say to that? Fuck you, I don't get Viruses either. You know why? I use the greatest anti-Virus known to man, and it's only compatible with Windows: Common Sense 2009.

This nifty device actually does the work of warning my brain when something could be potentially harmful to my computer. It works perfect, and is not overly evasive. In fact, most of the time I don't even know it's there! It works that good.

So sure, you can enjoy your virus free OS . It's the least we can offer you, since we know you are already going through the horrible pain of actually have to use a Mac. That should be punishment enough for being a complete dumbass.

2. Mac Vs PC - Better



I don't know where this notion ever came from, probably as propeganda started from inside Apple themselves, but that's redundant. The point is it's a total lie, neither OS is any better than the other at graphic design etc. For Movie editing, Apple has Final Cut Pro, and Windows has things liek Sony Vegas 8 (example). For Music, Apple has iTunes, and Windows has WMP/Winamp. For Photos, both OS's have Photoshop.

If you think either Operation System has an advantage over another in any of these categories, you can go fuck a goat. In fact, many of these categories have several notable programs that can be used on either machine.

3. Mac Vs PC - V Word



I don't understand how they pass this off as actual advertising anymore. Look at this ad. What does it tell the average user about Apple's product, or the competition's product, or...anything, really? That's right, ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING.

This isn't advertising anymore. This isn't even propeganda. This is blatent trolling that has nothing to do with anything Apple is trying to sell. It's basically a group of Mac Executives going up to random people in the street, kicking them in the shins, then screaming through a megaphone to tranfer to a Mac, all the while singing the most annoying song you can think of.

This, is advertising:
