Apple today posted the company’s latest ad in their “Get a Mac” campaign to their home page and also to their “Get a Mac” ads section.
The new ad features the familiar “Mac and “PC” characters, Justin Long and John Hodgman, respectively. In the ad, PC brings in a referee to prevent Mac from boasting that Leopard is better and faster than Vista (The Wall Street Journal said that, not me, Mac explains). The ref checks instant replay and finds that, after further review, Leopard is indeed better and faster than Vista (as if a video replay was necessary). The Ref then ejects the irate PC.

Subway’s ref ad is much better
I saw this during the NFL playoffs, and it was okay funny, not great funny. The reason was that ejections are very rare in football. This is not baseball or even basketball which are more likely to see ejections. The point being it made me scratch my head, thinking of whether they could have made a better punchline.
Not a bad ad, not one of the best though (that’s ‘Security’)
Man that zune tang guy is sooo lame. Such an attention seeking try hard. Hey fool, why don’t you do us all a favor and go tell somebody who cares…if you can find somebody. Your whole act is tired, repetitve and without humor (just like a microsh*t ad). In actual fact your lame and boring. Guess you try to antagonize people because any attention is better than none at all, huh?
OK, I’ve liked all of the ads up until now – this one was on the lame side. Must be because I’m a big sports fan? Like KenC I was left scratching my head about the ejection, and really the whole instant replay deal
Did you read that, Apple? Perry Fjellman is getting fed up with this shit.
