Microsoft and the Shoe Circus

Microsoft has embarked on a series of commercials to respond to the popular Mac ads:



Being generally indifferent to which type of computer I use (so long as it's virus free and doesn't magically delete my files), I find it endlessly entertaining to hear friends passionate one way or another, discuss which is truly the better machine.

I can't claim full credit for the dialog (this is my friend Eric's doing), but because I found it entertaining, am including it for your enjoyment...

A Mac response to the above Microsoft commercial:

Hello I’m a mac, and I’m a PC

Mac: What are you doing PC?

PC: Oh, I just off the phone- I was trying to set up a cross promotion between myself and the makers of aspirin and other irritation based ointments.

Mac: And why would you want to do that?

PC: Well, as you know I can be obtained on the cheap, but my lack of compatibility and frequent breakdowns seem to be causing my consumers to suffer eye damage, headache, and skin irritation. I figure I may be a more desirable buy if I can help to prevent these side effects before they occur.

Mac: Hmm, I was unaware using a computer could cause any of those issues. Then again, I am always functional unless running Microsoft Office. It’s amazing the FTC doesn’t make you put a Surgeon General Warning right on your box.

PC: Tell me about it (Bends down to tie his shoe)

GET A MAC
