Apple Revives Animated Holiday 'Get a Mac' Ads
Apple has posted two new 'Get a Mac' commercials to their ad page. The holiday-themed ads utilize a style introduced in 2007 in which Justin Long and John Hodgman provide voices for animated versions of their "Mac" and "PC" characters.
Tree Trimming: "Mac" and "PC" are trimming a Christmas tree together, with "Mac" expressing happiness that the two of them have put aside their differences to do something fun together. A nervous "PC" is reluctant to plug in the lights on the tree, and when he finally does so, a surprise is revealed.
I Can Do Anything: "PC" shows off some of the benefits of being animated, including being able to talk with a bunny. When the bunny reveals where he is headed in order to do his holiday shopping, "PC" exacts a bit of revenge.

I just saw both of these while watching TV. The one with the bunny made me laugh really hard! :D

Hehe, these are pretty funny, and dare I say it, I even think windows fanboys (the ones with a sense of humour, so all 3 of them) would find these funny. Subtle taking the high road with "Tree trimming", though, sneaky :apple:
Here's to a new year where these Get a Mac Ads stop being negative about Windows and positive about Apple. Please, Apple. Lets hear "Here's what Apple can do, which PC can't or can do but is impossible hard". Less of the Vista bashing!
My two cents :)
