I want to kick apples ad agency in the balls

I'm so sick of the idiotic commercials Apple uses! No wonder the PC community laughs at us! Those switch commercials are so dumb they would be funny if Macs werent actually quality products!!

hm_murdock:
what did I SAY?!?!

Apple corp sucks! Steve ain't got a clue no more. They need their old agency back. We need another "1984" ad that clearly states "We're Back". And then, to mean it. Really get serious about being a computer company again.

Apple is so pansy-ass these days, they're not willing to reach out and really hit Windows users where it hurts. They won't directly attack problems. They hint around at "horrid little machines" that ain't as horrid as they once were.

Apple needs a new "big idea", and the balls to put it in peoples' faces the way they did the Mac back in 84.

"Think Different" just helped to distance them from people by putting off too many people. "Everything Is Easier On A Mac" and "Switch" just make them look stupid as bricks.

They need to advertise OS X as the "Windows Killer". Show the damn hardware, show the damn software, show how good it is, show how much the other guys suck. Bring back the lemmings commercials.

I think the problem is that Apple has gone too corporate. They're too worried about some level of "professionalism" to come back down to the level of real people that do things with their computers. They've fallen prey to the disease that is the new capitalism. They're out of touch with their clientele. Big problem.

The "switch" campaign is beyond stupid.  All the ads show are these out-of-touch morons who can't figure out how to use Windows.  It reminds me of AOL (so easy to use no wonder it's the #1 choice of idiots worldwide!)  It just makes Apple look like a computer company for retards.  I think they should do commercials that demonstrate other things about the Mac besides "it's easier to use than Windows."  Maybe actually show the interface or something.  They should point out that Mac OS X is based on UNIX and therefore is for smart people not just idiots who can't figure out how to get their digital camera working in Win 98.  Maybe give a demo of the iTools or something, anything but "duh windows be too hard to use, me switch to mac which is PC for brain dead ogres and little children."

Yes in a way it is, but i think that you would have to be an idiot to think XP is better then OS-X or Linux... And no i am not about popularity, and software support. Everything i want to do is possible.

I think XP is every bit as capable as OS X.  If you ignored the fact that Microsoft created XP you would have a hard time saying that XP is worse than OS X.
