You know, I know they are just a spin off and what not, but I actually like the microsoft “i’m a pc.” commercials. I think as far as a defense against the mac’s they are very eloquent. They don’t bash anyone(and maybe I am only saying this because I am still hung over from election negative ad commercials) which I really appreciate.

I hate the “I’m a PC” commercials. They’ve been sponsoring shows on the Comedy Central website, so I have to watch those fucking things 4-5 times every time I watch The Daily Show or Colbert Report. 1) They have NOTHING to do with the functionality or usability of Windows, they’re just encouraging smug elitism based on ignorance, and 2) they’re so flppin’ unoriginal and uncreative as a company the best they can come up with is a marketing campaign based on Apple’s campaign?
Maybe we’re talking about different “I’m a PC” commercials, but I think Microsoft is such a shit company, and it’s apparent in pretty much everything they do.
What have they come up with on their own? Oh yeah, the brilliant slogan “Life Without Walls.” Are you fucking kidding me? Or “Wow is Now” when Vista was released. What an absolute joke of a company, and the sick thing is that the people who come up with their crap design / advertising are making BANK.
I have such a problem with companies whose marketing strategy involves misinformation and lies. Microsoft and Starbucks are both totally guilty of this, and they’re two of the most profitable businesses out there. Being self-serving is temporarily profitable and easy, but I think it’s retarding genuine forward-progress in big ways.
I’d love to see commercials where Microsoft shows PC users how simple and elegant it is to do the same things on the Mac platform and then have them choose which operating system they want to use. The commercial would end with the consumers throwing the PCs out the window and then chasing the Microsoft reps with pitchforks for all the misinformation they’ve been polluting everyone’s brains with to convince them that computers have to be esoteric and difficult.
