Apple has gone crazy pushing the Im a Mac and Im a PC commercials which pit two guys against each other which symbolize the respective computers.  As someone who owns both a mac and a pc I think I can comment on this issue without too much bias.

First of all, a few of the commercials are hilarious, like the one about ITunes where the PC guy is jamming out to his ITunes and the Mac guy suggests the other great Mac products.  I also like the spyware one, that is the best feature of Macs for the casual user in my opinon.  However, a few are just downright dumb, like the recent commercial where the PC guy is sitting in a wheelchair with broken limbs due to falling over his power cord.  Well, it sure is great that the Mac has a magnet power cord that comes loose at any sign of force!  Im sorry, who cares. 

At any rate, you had to know that these would be spoofed sooner or later and of course they have been.  Head on over to You Tube for evidence.

To sum it up, its a good marketing campaign that is being taken to a level it does not need to go to.  Sure, Mac owners can be elitists, and sure PC owners can be oblivious to things outside of Excel, but enough is enough.
