Seriously, wtf is going on with Apple's Mac vs. Pc ads?
nontroppo:
I really wouldn't take advertising any more seriously than I take celebrity gossip; all froth, no coffee. If we were to see the world through the lens of the advertisers, it would be worse than taking too much mescaline at a Las Vegas Casino. My classic observation: girls shaving their shiny long legs for ladies shavers have fully shaved legs already. WTF? Advertisers can't show the product "working", as it would show the perceived imperfection the product aims to eradicate. Smoke, mirrors, superficiality.
I think I hate it because it reminds me of high school. The "cool" guys making fun of the "geeks."-Deozaan (November 24, 2007, 08:46 PM)

Or you can see it as the business class against normal users, depends on your cultural stereotypes. But this is just classic advertsing psychology, not specific to Apple.
I think the "Don'tgive up on vista" campaign is pretty funny though (turn brain off first though), and great advertising for XP.... ;)
mouser: what is a "mean girl" feel?

The evil fashion whore from school that constantly pries on your every mistake, that eventually becomes the bitch when you find out her dad is drinking.
And I think some of those mac vs pc commercials are pretty funny, but it ends there.
