I’m a Mac and a PC
by Michael HoffmanThursday, February 15th, 2007
We have PCs and Macs in our office and the Mac people are… well, I don’t want to stereotype… Those “I’m a Mac” ads are clever and ubiquitous, so much so that they have spawned parodies. The nice thing about parody is that if done well it can go viral very quickly because it travels the well worn path of its cultural referent. Apple has spent tens of millions on those ads and so the parody takes advantage of that. It’s a tactic I hope we will find a way to use for a worthy nonprofit.
By the way, this is playing in a player from Microsoft’s newly launched Soapbox video sharing service, their answer to YouTube (good luck with that…)
