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."
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.

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.
"but the pair do a good job of spicing up the commercials with a bit of dry British humor and sexy good looks"
I'm sorry but I'm British and although we've always got a joke to hand, we're simply not the best looking people in the World...

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.
