Charlie Brooker nails the "PC vs Mac" ads:
As for the campaign itself, I only have one thing to add, a brief message to Apple: PC != Windows. All the problems you describe as affecting "PCs" are actually problems with Windows. Other PC Operating Systems Are Also Available...
[W]hen you see the ads, you think, "PCs are a bit rubbish yet ultimately lovable, whereas Macs are just smug, preening tossers." In other words, it is a devastatingly accurate campaign.The first comment, from Brooker himself, is fun, too.
