Apple Releases Four New ‘Get a Mac’ Ads
Apple’s released four new television commercials, featuring the usual “I’m a Mac….and I’m a PC” routine. Apple pokes fun at PCs and Microsoft throughout the commercials, while promoting only one Mac feature.
As a Mac user, I find these commercials annoying and childish. The best of the bunch sorta-kinda talks about a Mac feature, but the rest of them are just sarcastic attacks against Windows machines.
In Legal Copy, a disclaimer grows as the bottom of the screen as actor John Hodgeman makes claims about how easy it is to use a PC.
In another ad, Hodgeman dresses up in a biohazard suit.
Apple promotes iPhoto’s face-recognition capabilities in this commercial, which makes fun of how hard it is to find photos on a PC.
In the final ad, Apple looks into the future, and insinuates that Windows PCs will be horrible in the future.

Sarcasm shouldn’t be allowed? The truth is the truth, ridiculous as it is. If Microsoft doesn’t like it, it’s up to them to show the world that Apple is wrong.
