Google’s Super Bowl ad parodied with a Mac twist

February 27, 2010

In the eyes of a fanboy, every advertisement begs not so much to be remade but to be made right. Here’s a fine example that starts with Google’s popular Super Bowl XLIV spot and veers straight into a celebration of Mac users’ favorite truisms about Windows and how it must feel to be Windows user.

Mac vs. PC: More than just a pretty face?

Nutty Brit chick marries her MacBook Pro

February 4, 2010

After an 11-month engagement, a bright, perky and surprisingly attractive British girl named Hermione has married her MacBook Pro, “Alex.” Although his exact hardware specs aren’t listed, the bride says that he’s a “real machine” while giving a nervous wiggle in her seat. Hmm.

Jobs says Google’s ‘don’t be evil’ mantra is ‘bullshit’
