Microsoft’s ‘I’m A PC’ Ad Beats Seinfeld (But Not Hodgman)
Phase 2 of Microsoft’s Windows ad campaign debuted tonight during The Office, and the latest work by ad agency Crispin, Porter + Bogusky definitely beats the crap out of those (ill-fated?) Gates/Seinfeld ads when it comes to making a point. The point is simple: Not all PC users look like John Hodgman. Some are even sexy beasts. It’s easy to spot Deepak Chopra and Bill Gates affirming their PC-ness, but I think I also saw A-Rod Tony Parker and Eva Longoria too. You guys have a look and fill in the gaps, because there are a lot of celebs and specialists showing PC pride here. I only wish it didn’t open with that poor bastard Hodgman lookalike—the message is damn loud and clear anyhow. Update: Windows’ 15-second “I Wear a Suit” video below…

It seems that every man and his dog is a PC. I don’t want what every man and his dog has… Furthermore, it seems PCs have eye problems and need glasses to make them work properly. AND it also seems that even third worlders are PCs. I don’t want a third world computer, I would prefer a nice clean, working computer that doesn’t need glasses / patches to make it run properly, SOOOOOOO that add makes me want to stick with Apple.
Thanks.
i’m pc! and bite my shiny metal a$$…
Andy: I think the whole point of this add was to show how versatile the PC OS actually is; how affordable it can be. Seriously, in Australia, you can build a brand new computer for less than $600. Can you do that with a mac? oh no, you have to fork out so much more than that.
Macs are user friendly. Perfect for anyone who’s computer illiterate. PC’s are a bit inbetween. Linux are for pros.
I’m a PC, coz I’m too cheap to get a Mac….
