There's a fine line between criticism vs. compare and contrast.

There's also a fine line between humor and making fun of people. For me, "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" is not humor.

By the way, I'm a PC guy.

I think the Apple ads try and cast PC as a representation of conformity, they aren't making fun of PC.

I actually think in the Bay Area, it's reverse. Having a Mac or an IPhone is conformity. I have never seen so many Mac/IPhone users anywhere else in the world.

Right, since when is advertisement meant to give an accurate picture of reality.

Can't reach self actualization without an Apple enema.

The whole "I'm a PC" response from MS was decent. Unfortunately, they didn't go after the fashion statement base, which are the only Mac users who bother me. They're the ones that could be surfing the same Internet on a PC for 1/2 the cost.
