    I'm a PC - and a Mac - and I think operating systems aren't that important because I spend most of my time actually doing stuff on the computer!

    I'm a PC and I love restarting Internet Explorer when it crashes every thirty seconds or so!

    @Private Hangnail: I'm a PC and I love feeling inferior when I walk into an Apple store!!! Sigh.

    I'm so glad you wrote about this, Hamilton! I saw the first youtube-esque ads last night. I hated the Gates/Seinfeld ads. But, they brought me back around a little (not a lot) with the "I'm a pc" ads, showing what I assume are actors portraying people with really cool jobs, like marine biologists. These latest ads completely undo that. If the purple stripe shirt guy is a pc, why would I want to be associated in any way by using the same product? Someone needs to reassess their career qualifications!


    Team Mac all the way with this one. I've never even used a Mac. These ads make me want to join the cool kids, though.

    Silly cubicle-dwelling PC user, the stripes must be vertical to be slimming.

    @es-ki-mo: Maybe the PC makes the horizontal stripes slimming somehow. Like the rolling screen effect or something.


    Silly PC useres. Sitting in their cubicles and... using a PC... to... comment Gawker... wait...

    Actually, the woman who says "I'm a PC and I don't like tweed" in the TV commercial is kind of hot.


    But I agree, uggos shouldn't even be allowed to use computers, much less leave their houses.

    @Ha Ha Sound: Hey, us uggos use the computer, so we don't have to leave the house. It's better for everyone that way.

    I particularly enjoyed the Napoleon Dynamite-esque music in the background.
