Apple Mac/PC Ads With a UK Twist
leppi writes "Japanese isn't the only language barrier Apple's decided to cross with its 'I'm a Mac, I'm a PC' ads. Those Brits love their 'shenanigans and tomfoolery' just as much as the next guy. Watch the Peep Show's Mitchell and Webb do the honors as PC and Mac, respectively."
Also in Peep Show Jeremy (the Mac) gets laid a lot whilst Mark (the PC) gets laid about half a time before getting interrupted by the sound of Jeremy getting laid.
... maybe that's like a Mac connecting to a SMB share on a PC or something.
Generally though all the sex is rather retarded or twisted. Jeremy even shags Mark's sister, so I wonder what that's like
Shouldn't that be
Apple Mac/PC Ads With a Twist of Limey?
Japanese isn't the only language barrier Apple's decided to cross with its 'I'm a Mac, I'm a PC' ads. Those Brits love their 'shenanigans and tomfoolery' just as much as the next guy.
It's almost like they've got General Peckem describing his platform preference to Yossarian.

Dude, that was like the first sentence of the summary! The link was the first word! Is it that hard to read even the first sentence of the FRIGGIN SUMMARY! I guess this is slashdot and that is asking a lot.

Today our contestants are Simon, who's a PC, and Julie who's also a Mac...
"A PC running linux."
"A mac bootcamped into windows."
"A mac running linux."
"etc."
So what do you call:
A PC running linux?
A computer.
A mac bootcamped into windows?
A computer.
A mac running linux?
A computer.

That's tickety-boo!
No, but it starts being "a computer" ;-)

ITT: The truth about Mac vs. PC.
"
Mac: I'm a Mac.
PC: And I'm a PC.
Mac: And I'm a PC.
PC: What?
Mac: Oh, I can run the latest version of Windows XP just like you!
PC: But wouldn't that make me more secure than you, since I've got an Nforce4 Ultra motherboard, so I get Nvidia ActiveArmour installed from the moment my network card starts to function?
Mac: But I AM very pretty."
"
Mac: I'm a Mac.
PC: And I'm a PC. I'm just trying to talk to the latest peripherals.
Mac: I can do that too..
PC: What?
Mac: Oh, I can talk to that sexy little camera from Japan!
Japanese Girl: Ohaiou Gozaimashda!
Mac: Domo!
PC: Hey Samsung-san, what operating system were the people who created you using?
Japanese Girl: windosu ecksupee-san!
PC: Ah, arigatou.
Mac: But I AM very pretty."
It's been a long time.
Just remember - if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.
Yeah, I got an Nforce4 motherboard, and I had to disable all that ActiveArmour stuff because I kept getting errors in just about every file I downloaded. Tried firmware and software updates and everything, problem still exists. Maybe next time I will buy a Mac, because they just work.

Bah, minor dialogue changes. The plot was the same.
At least one ad should have had techno/trance playing in the background....
Someday, I'll have a real sig.
MAC: IHello I'm a IMac PC: And I'm a PC. I'm just plugging away on 400 million computers when this pimp has something to say I'dont get.
