Because, apparently, I really felt like posting.
...whether or not I had anything to say.
I just saw an adorable "Mac ad" online, where Mac guy in the banner at the top of the page talked to PC guy in a newspaper-style article in the banner at the side of the page. Admittedly I had the sound off, but PC talking from the photo box was cute.
So, thoughts.
1. Are geepgal and I really the only ones who hate Mac more and more with each commercial, and like PC more and more? I guess they're trying to reach technophobes or the only semi-computer-literate, not us. I just don't like the attitude of the character one bit and I don't see how it's effective. I watch A LOT of commercials (not kidding. It's unintentional, but sometimes I watch the commercials more than the show), but I rarely have this visceral a reaction to them. Enlighten me, friends list. State your pre-existing opinion on Macs and explain whether or not the commercials work for you.
2. Dude, Mac guy has gotten uglier over the years. What happened? He does realize there are about a bazillion different hair products that would prevent his hair from being greasy and lank like that, right?
3. Um, there was going to be a point three, but I appear to have forgotten it. Heh, I need to start sleeping more I think.
In other news...there appears to be a cricket loose in the vicinity. It keeps feeling like a condemnation of our department, cricket noises echoing through like we're all too boring for words.
EDIT: Has anyone seen the new Microsoft ad with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld?? It's insanity! Churros, "you're clean AND dressed!", Bill's series of comical expressions, his membership card to Shoe Circus, and edible cake computers? Regardless of the products involved, it made geepgal and I stop and just stare at the TV for a good minute. Kudos to their agency for that one.
