Apple Japan ads

I like this series of Apple ads, recently it is getting more ironic, like this, this and this. I am a PC user and I like the PC, I can't live without windows. But I understand the love for Mac, actually I was Mac User before. I miss my stupid Power Mac 7500. One day he woke up in very dark mood (bing bong) and passed away. If I quit my current job, I will be a Mac user again.

By the way, Apple Japan made the same ads. Here there are. Basically they have the same conversation as the original English one. This one is ilife one. In the Japanese ad, PC is listning "Eurobeat",  which sounds more old fashioned, uncool for Japanese. This is virus ad;  they have almost the same conversation as the original. And this is Mac and PC ; this is a little bit different from original one.

P: How do you do, I am Pasokon. ( PC is called "Pasocom=personal computer" generaly in Japan.
M: How do you do, I am Mac.
P: What? You are a pasokon too, right?
M: Yes, but people call me Mac.
P: It sounds like you are something special. That sounds very friendly.
M: Since people use me on their private time, I seem friendly to them.
P: Okay, I usually have business relationships. I want some special name like you have.
M: Since you mainly have business relationships, how about "work"?
P: Mac and Work! Mac!

Do you remember those two guys? They are actors from these funny videos. They are rahmens.

haha ! very funny! :)) i work on a pc and sometimes i tend to believe all these mallicious buzz about pcs - like blocking from time to time, absolute need for all kind of firewalls & antiviruses... here`s a joke i just read about microsoft :)

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft’s electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter’s position and course to steer to the airport. Seeing a tall building, he flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter’s window. The pilot’s sign said “WHERE AM I?” in large letters.

People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said “YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER.” The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely.

After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the “YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER” sign helped determine their position in Seattle. The pilot responded “I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building because, similar to their help-lines, they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer.”

ps - macs can have hard times too ;)

I've always thought the association of Mac with fun was a bit ironic. I am not personally acquainted with any serious computer gamer who uses a Mac.

As one who just bought a Japanese Macintosh, I am very amused
