Apple Mac/PC Ads With a UK Twist

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

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."

    Or he tried to plug a firewire drive in. Every one I've tried blackscreens the mac instantly (identical to a bluescreen only it's black).

    Identical (adjective): having properties with uniform values along all axes; being the exact same one; not any other

    Slashdotters are a riot...

    I thought Slashdot was primarily supposed to be a news site, not an advertising medium.

    Woody Allen and John Cleese must be sell-out hacks then...

    Yes they are. Unfunny, tedious, awful. Particularly sad in Cleese's case, to go from his incredible work on Python and Fawlty to a string of dire adverts. I don't think he's done anything funny for about 15 years now. I almost feel sorry for him, a genius lost.

    I love Bill Hicks, but he also genuinely believed he was abducted by aliens. His word isn't scripture.

    I just agree with him on this particular point. Mitchell and Webb's future work is compromised by this. Which is sad.

    Lol! Any time Slashdot posts a headline phrased as a querstion, I always feel obliged to answer "yes" or "no", and move on the the next question.
