Apple Mac/PC Ads With a UK Twist

Posted by kdawson on from the python-would-be-proud dept.

    For those left wondering, Peep Show is a British comedy from channel 4. If any of these ads even made you smirk I'd suggest watching an episode or two, they're fantastically original!

    Come on, these ads try to suggest that photo albums and videos/music are only available on the Mac. Please.

    No. They do suggest that this stuff is easier on a Mac. Which is true.

    Mitchell, and Webb, for the non-UKians here do a very funny show called Peep Show which I only found out a few months ago, and have been raving about ever since!

    Why link to the YouTube videos? http://www.apple.com/uk/getamac/ are higher quality and in a more relevant place...
