I love that subtle jab at the end. Unlike the Windows ads where the people announce that they too are PCs, she’s not a Mac, she’s a Megan—a person.
Good point, Steve. I liked that part, but wasn’t sure why. Now I know.
Y’know, I almost feel sorry for Microsoft. There’s no way they can win this gunfight, considering they’re genetically incapable of producing anything more powerful than a squirt gun.
Note that little word ‘almost.’ More butter on the popcorn, please.
The only way that could have been better is if she’d say “I’m Megan” instead of “I’m a Megan.” But I suppose that might have been missed.
Gun. Barrel. Fish. Water.
Some assembly required.
Nicely executed and witty.
@Steven Fisher: I was wondering about that too. It sounded awkward the first time, but I think the ad agency means to convey the message, “I’m a [person]”. The awkwardness seems to draw attention to that point, so it works (for me).
Mac,
there’s some real stupid here
