They also do an absolutely brilliant job of parodying Apple:

Their production values are so good!
I remember seeing the Sony clip a few weeks ago when my friend sent it to me as he knows how much I hate Sony products.
ReplyDeleteThe Apple clip reminds me of the new Macbook Pro that is supposed to be "environmentally friendly" I suppose attempting to provide another "alternative" to computers (and addressing popular environmental concerns within our society...)...somewhat like how hybrid cars are "alternatives" to vehicles running only on gasoline even though hybrid cars require electricity which still largely rely on fossil fuels. The new Macbook Pro seems to only really "reduce" their electricity needs and change some materials but I am wondering if this even matters?

And just for entertainment value: A parody of MAC vs. PC South Park style

Regarding the Apple parody, one of my co-workers - an Apple user I must note - fell for it, and excitedly told me he "couldn't wait for it to be released in Canada." I think he only watched the first bit of the video...
ReplyDeleteRegardless, I seriously facepalmed.
