We're not the target audience, you dorks.
It's for NORMAL PEOPLE.
We're a bunch of picky, finicky, anal retentive designer/techie types.
OBVIOUSLY this magical ad campaign isn't going to sway us. Ad compaigns DONT sway us. Facts and experiences do.These are for the 'common man' just like ALL other advertisements.
Don't give me this "Apple is just selling on design and shit-talking, and that's bad" crap.
That's what advertising IS.
It's showing, in simple digestible terms, these facts and what things ARE better about Macs.
I don't think anyone would argue that these ads aren't based on reality.THey're for two reasons:
1. Informing the benefits about the product, what's "BETTER"
2. They're funny.
As for Dinky - you're full of it.
It's quite obvious to me where they're targeting their sales: consumers, prosumers and professionals.I don't know who made you the "product line industry placement" guru.
Apple's placed their products just fine.All your BS about switching to Intel is bitterness or boredom. They switched because IBM bombed it with the G5 and became much more interested in making simple processors for Nintendo/Microsoft/Sony where they could have guaranteed sales and high profitability.
OF COURSE they said the G5 was faster. It was at some points in time, other points it was lagging behind - Apple wasn't gonna admit that in their marketing material. Come on.
I'd venture to say you're predisposed to dislike Ads that you don't get or aren't targetted towards you.

(May 2 06, 07:53)the whole point of getting the ad is not about rather its mac ad or not but are you compeled by the message? does that ad really buy in to you?
obviously you know more about advertising than i do. cause it just doesnt speak to me

its going to motivate virus makers to make viruses for mac now they are so stupid saying your system dosnt get viruses when it does is A a LIE to the public and B a motive for virus writters who will just get pissed off and waste there time writting a virus for mac....oh my again people and a white background....
- smrz0

(May 2 06, 07:56)But that IS the whole point. It screams Apple from the start - it's an obvious comparison of Mac and PC, and it so blatantly punches Microsoft right in the face while at the same time maitaining a friendly relationship with them. It's like you and me, dinky, when I know and you know that I know more about advertising than you, but your cool with it and I'm cool with it, and we just get along anyway.

whats with the greasy hair?

jpea, of course they should have called me! But they always forget my number!

smrz
but you have no vaild arguement why its a good ad?
also, you are very biased toward apple.
what to me it doesnt make sense about that ad is that their line of business and where they are going. for so long, they have said that their motorola processor was much better than intel ones but now that they have switched. looking at that ad, they are not creating some comical relational base around pc and mac but rather they just dont know where they need to stand in their product line. the ad it self lacks messaege. it holds on to its core value product and its business of ipod to leverage their argument but yet it is very thin messaging
