Slashdot Mirror
Justin Long No Longer A Mac
david.emery writes "Wired is reporting that Apple will be replacing Justin Long as its 'Mac' in their 'I'm a Mac/I'm a PC' ad campaign. John Hodgman, the personification of the PC, is reportedly shooting new commercials." From the article: "Even people who hate the campaign find their core idea compelling enough to endlessly satirize the series on YouTube. The one enduring criticism of the ads is that John Hodgman's PC is funnier and more likable than Justin Long's sleazy hipster doofus Mac. (just what was he saying to that hot new camera from Japan?) Hodgman is a riot (just read "The Areas of My Expertise" if you don't believe me), but I'm not sure how the new series of ads goes on from here. Is there a new Mac? Does Hodgman become the Mac?"
You should watch John Hodgman on this Daily Show clip, when they were talking about Net Neutrality.
(Sorry, looks like the more complete video was taken down)
Everything I need to know about copyrights I learned from Slashdot.
I just got my Macbook Pro this week. And now I wonder what the hell made me wait so long. It's really quite impressive.
My friends are taking bets on whether I end up the evangelical mac convert who can't ever shut up about it, or whether I end up the smug mac user who just grumbles and smirks.
Sig for hire.
Did I just pick up an attack on one of the greatest American actors of the Twentieth Century, Bronson Pinchot? How dare you compare the no-talent ass-clown "I'm a mac" guy to the Great Balki? It is blasphemy and an outrage! Nobody insults Serge and get away with it!
The streets shall be painted with the blood of unbelievers!
