Apple 'Get a Mac' adverts.

Is it just me or are this adverts really really terrible?

I saw a couple of these adverts for the first time at the cinema last week.

I must admit I did think they were terrinble, but it did make me think about the product, Apple Mac, which is the aim of all adverts.

But I work in computers, so undertood the "virus" concept when he (the PC) had a cold, but would the average person in the street.

Another example of "smart ar5e" adverts where the agency sign up two young comedians they like so they can win some awards.

I agree, they don't do the best they could be doing.

It's worth noting that the original American versions are better (betters actors for the job), and also that the format of the ad works far better in the US too, where Apples are far more widely-known and used.
