And I’m a PC, I mean VAIO

Sony VAIO C Series

Sony is trying to put its spin on the popular “I’m a PC, and I’m a Mac” ads. The Australian VAIO C-Series notebook page features a cheesy flash ad where a hip 20-something girl declares she’s a VAIO. When you click on the ad, the uptight business PC guy, the dorky Mac guy and the Vaio girl spin around to show you their rear ends and make some noise. The PC guy honks, the Mac guy says “hey” and the VAIO girl giggles. The text reads “it’s more fun to be a VAIO”.

What’s the message here? “Not only are we trying to make the C series look like a MacBook, we’re also ripping off their ads.”

    Actually a lot of the stylistic cues of the Macbook (such as the chiclet keyboard) was actually taken originally from Vaio notebook computers. Apple is no more original as the moon is made of cheese. Remember even Steve Job was quoted “Good artist copy. Great artist steal.”
