These parodies are better than most of the stuff you find on YouTube, but I’m surprised that Novell would put its name on videos with so little polish. Well, maybe not. D’oh!
Portraying Linux as a pretty woman next to a couple of dorky guys is a tough sell, but I love parodies so I’m buying. “Features” as fashion is a tough sell too, but it’s the irony of the role-reversal that makes the second one actually, funny. These parodies are all about the writing.
Well I’ll be danged, I’ve heard of business people who use Mac, but a Creative Director who uses a PC? Whenever PC people (mean, mean PC people) tell me “nobody uses Macs” I could always throw back, “well, nobody who isn’t creative,” but now I stand corrected. Now we can all see the “other side” where Macs are the majority and PC users are the poor picked-on ones. A creative director who does “Think Different,” er I mean doesn’t. Whady’a know!
Disclaimer: Rated R, but as rants go, this one is brilliant.
What is it about Apple that makes its users unable to shut their mouths? Everywhere I … . They regurgitate lines directly from Apple’s marketing campaign, like “it just works.” I have the following rebuttals to this argument:
1. If everything on a Mac just works, then why does a website called “Mac fix it” exist, assholes? Here are a few choice topics on macfixitforums.com:
-Login window stuck!
-lower caSe “S” key not working!!
-Menu bar keeps flashing
-I can’t drag and drop!
…
Stupid user base aside, I will never own a Mac. It’s not so much that I’m a PC loyalist. I’m not. It’s that I’m not stylish enough to own one. Most iPod commercials feature guys with long hair, chicks roller skating, and guys wearing fedoras. I have dandruff, and I buy most of my jeans from a grocery store. I feel like in order to have a Mac, I need to be:
# An artist.
# In a band.
# Unemployed (see above).
