its pretty funny, but i dont know what they are trying to make fun when apple has the same security prompts in osx when you try to install something.

Those ad sucks, making fun/insulting potential customers is not the way to go to sell a product. eh..


Um, they are making fun/insulting the creators of Vista: Microsoft, not potential customers.

Well no, they didnt make that ad to make fun of microsoft, you probably seen all the other commercial. Basicly, if you're not a Mac user you're not all hip and young like that young guy, you're kinda like that boring office type guy that goes bald in their 40s.

Yea, you have a valid point there. But isn't that how all advertising works? If you don't buy Clearasol you are a spotty teen that no-one fancies. If you don't buy a BK Whopper, you aren't a real man. If you don't buy Lynx deodorant you won't pull girls. If you don't buy Jaguar you aren't young, rich and fabulous. And so on.

The current Mac advertising campaign is attempting to affect perception of PCs as office computers and arose consumer desire for a home computer that is different to the office computer. I guess this advert sums up the standpoint most directly:

The UK actors aren't as funny or as cutting as ther US counterparts in my opinion but the advert is funny enough.
