Macs already have enough silicon.

That would've been a good one, except the stuff in breast implants is silicone, and silicone hasn't been used in breast implants in a decade. They're all saline now. I don't know how I knew that. B+ for effort, though. :)

Lenny Kravitz what you get when you take Jimi Hendrix and subtract the technical guitar skills and musical ability. He needs to get out of the '70s and stop wearing ****ing sunglasses indoors.

I hope you're kidding. The crocodile hunter and carrot top are on my top ten most annoying people on TV.

But definitely Shaq, not that he'd bother...
 
I have no idea who Ben Folds is...

same here.. i dont think apple going with music celebrities is such a great idea -- people are usually fairly passionate with their music.. i think it would be a better idea for apple to go for actors -- not many people hate certain actors.. cept if the actor is totally directed to a certain croud (like Leonardo Dicaprio, or whatever..)...

course maybe the biggest stars dont even use macs, unfortunately..
 
oh are you pulling my leg

all the creatives in LA and other locations use Macs.

Well all I gotta say after posting my opinions as to
how the MacRumors community are so negative and
closedminded (Posted in the No G5 till 2003 rumor)
I must say that everyone here is talking about THIS RUMOR
and in a brotherly manor instead of the juvinile Nuhuh thats
not how it is type attitude.

Really, very enjoyable responses from everyone. Take a Bow.

I am the only one who thinks that Ben Folds is saying something that Apple don't want to let us know?
Apple never tell anything about their ad's.
Soon the notice would be cleared
 
Personally I think that Apple should have Tom Clancy do a spot. He has used macs to write all his books. Add to that having a book he wrote being one of the biggest movie blockbusters of the summer, plus all the other "Jack Ryan" books/movies

And isn't Harrison Ford a mac user?

hmm....

"There is a clear and present danger to the National Security of the United States...


and it's called Microsoft...":)
 
- The iMac, with Abe Vigoda (Just have him stand next to it for 30 seconds, saying nothing, glaring directly into the camera, with absolutely nothing happening in the commercial, and I think that would be the most hilarious 30 seconds ever)

haaaa... priceless! I agree, that would knock all the 'switch' critics on thier asses ;)
 
Booo!

Not to begin a heated discussion, but so far no "Minorities" have been used to make the Apple commercials. That's kinda sad, sometimes Apple makes me think they do discriminate. Oh well, back to the closet until we all become minorities! Praying for that day!
 
i think ben's a good choice.

i personally am not a big fan of his music but he is creative and does his own thing. liza richardson is another good choice...been a big fan of hers since she had a show on kera in dallas.

i agree, tony hawk would be good...he does have a cinema display though i don't know which PM he uses.

lenny kravitz...please no...he's this decades steve miller...all hook, no filling!:)

bowie would be great-and he'd do it...probably cost too much...he's one shrewd businessman.

what apple needs are some sports superstars...

tiger woods keeping score on a tibook

etc....

Here's who I'd like to see promote the mac that I know use it:

Tony Hawk
Thom Yorke (or all of Radiohead.... good luck with that)
Shaq (at least the ipod)
David Bowie
Trent Reznor

Anyone else care to add to the list?

In the meantime, I will do my best to become famous so I can promote the mac.

What, am I the only Mac nut who's also a Ben Folds (Five) fan? Besides a former flatmate... I do agree that Vonnegut would be an excellent choice, but lighten up, people. :p

And he can play well so he got my vote.
People who say he is a retarded mokey or something:

a: dont play an instument or write music thenselves or (hobyists dont count)
b: should take some lessons. orrrrr
c: just shut up

LOL! I was thinking of that 1 too! hahaha
really great.
Still hoping that 1 time on a live show some croc bites his damn ass/head off!
 
Maybe you like him, maybe you don't, but he is a Mac user...

Ben Folds is an amazing lyricist and musician, but everyone has their own preference.

Think what you will of his music, he is definitely a Mac user. A few friends were at a show in Baltimore a few weeks ago where he popped his Mac open right on stage.
