No. That’s not a barb directed at Mr. McGuiness. I simply wanted you to understand up front that the person I’m going to complain about here is a man and not a woman. I’d also like to point out that even if it was a woman, I’d still complain.

Laurie apparently thinks Apple’s line of world famous, award winning, powerful computers (some of which are used to make some of the fastest super computers in the world) are silly and pointless. To make his point he has produced four ad spots which mock Apple’s famous Mac & PC ads, only here the PC is the winner and the Mac is a loser.

Its sad, really, because in order to make his point he has to lie by omission. He suggests that Mac users don’t share, alluding to the Microsoft Zune’s Wi-Fi sharing capability. He also suggests that Mac users are drugged up, alcoholic, ne’er do wells who are late and can’t pay their bills. He also suggests that Mac users stay and home and make movies or create web sites for their cats with their buddies while Windows users hang out with fantastically beautiful women.

Not one of these videos is funny, insightful, or illuminating. In fact, its clear that Laurie is, indeed, a hater of Macs, and clearly doesn’t like Mac users either. Maybe Laurie doesn’t know that most musicians are Mac users. A lot of people in the film and television industries are Mac users. I know first hand that scads of people in advertising are Mac users. Even Al Gore is a Mac user.

So, who’s the loser now? I don’t know. Maybe the guy who feels so insecure that he has to take dodgey, questionable, anger-filled stabs in the dark at an ad series not only recognized as tops in advertising, but has also proven to drive sales at Apple Stores. Laurie advertises himself as a copywriter. Maybe he should use a Mac and he wouldn’t be so angry any more.
