Mac Guy hung up by his hoodie

Posted on November 8, 2006 4:16 PM
Mr oh-so-smug Justin Long won't be around for any more of Apple's cooler than you advertising spots. Radar said the spots featuring PC Guy and Mac Guy only had one problem...
Virtually everyone who watches it comes away liking the "PC guy" while wanting to push the "Mac guy" under a bus.
Actually the correct desire would be wanting to push the Mac guy in front of a bus. If he ends up underneath an onrushing Metro, that's what I'd call a bonus. Slate had little love for Mac guy back in June, so they're probably not taking up a collection for him either...
...just the sort of unshaven, hoodie-wearing, hands-in-pockets hipster we've always imagined when picturing a Mac enthusiast. Mr. Mac comes off as a smug little twit, who (in the spot titled "WSJ") just happens to carry around a newspaper that has a great review of himself inside.
He'll want to carry that review to his next job interview. Steve Jobs probably doesn't do recommendation letters.
