EuroSwitchers

EuroSwitchers:- Putting the task in some perspective

I am trying to imagine the converse used by M/Shifty

What would it take to persuade me to SWITCH TO WINDOWS?

Switch ads here could depict former PC users disposing of their Wintel Boxes in a variety of visually appealing ways:- by Dynamite/Dropped of a cliff/run through an auto crusher etc. etc.-) & should be stimulated by LARGE cash 'trade-ups'
Trite yes I know, but who are we trying to persuade here?

I do ads. It sound funny to see them on TV, also i don't think that this would be a nice ad in the US. Might be suite for this big time:))... but after this macworld i don't care as much anymore for macs as i used to.

that would be pretty damn funny, and not at all like the minimalistic approach of the white room used by apple. The best one so far is Will Ferrel's - a little comedic approach. I'm thinking you could even do that for a Euro-Switch - it just might take a few props.

Dukes afraid of hazard?
Minimal here reeks of pretension I fear! Thinks Bauhaus is a kennel
Will Ferrel's a totally unknown quantity over here... I only get SNL funnies c/o our friends@ Limewire........I'm Batman!!! Luv it!....Allow folk to curse on TV.... & ditch the guns!
Who can we get ?.....I wonder?
Billy Connelly?.......NO.. now reviled as a Royalist ass-kissing plagiarist.
John Cleese?........NO All this public-school botty-wacking whilst tirelessly nodding to academia exposed as just another old-boys BBC network.
Eddie Izzard?.... NO....to many plums in the gob, & switch him to WHAT?
George Michael?...... Maybe.....He is into controversial Vidz....Maybe...FROM W.C.to P.C. to PlasticMac?... Well maybe not
Some German comedian? VILE NOT VOUND!


My suggestion would be Bernard MANNING. Check this old goat out.......
REALLY not for the p/c faint hearted. Very intellectually challenging routine:
e.g.Man walks into fish & chip shop & asks for a fish tea........
Proprietor hands over the box of fish & chips
"Well' says the customer "are you sure this fish is properly cooked?"
"Why of course" says the proprietor, "Why do you ask?"
"Because it's eaten all the F*&%&@ chips"
This is where we find the bottom feeding potential switchers, just love a company without pomposity!

Whatever happened to originality @ Apple?
Oh......David Blane.....might be good?....seeing him louse-up solitaire on Windows
CAN I GET PAID FOR THIS STEVE?
 
ha, well, your names are just about as obscure as Will Ferrel to you, all I know is Cleese. But that's the thing, this is aimed at the American audience, the european versions would definitely have to be different.

It be fun to see them do it.
 
tfaz

Eddie IZ: Very true......but STILL the poor mans Bernard Manning.
I'm surprised that Billy Connelly is unfamiliar in the US
However after his fawning appearance on Letterman
I'm would'nt be surprised if he had sought accomodation with Bin Laden
 
When I first saw this ad I didn't think she looked high, and I still don't. I think she's cute. I'm 16. Sue me. :)

Well, that sort of makes it official - nothing wrong with a 16 year old talking about her that way.

Do you know anyone else who acts or resembles her who you know doesn't get high? We could all be off base here, but the impression is a strong one.

Okay, some clarification:

In terms of my rather distinctly obvious opinion that this young lady was HIGH. It takes one to know one.... that little chiquita was Bongqued beyond all recognition. This isn't the stereotypical BAD THING that brainwashed Reaganites assume it is. It's a REALLY GOOD THING in a couple of ways: 1. We see that Apple is willing to show people how they actually are, stoned or not. and: 2. We can see that Apple is putting out products you can use when you're so high you can;t complete a SINGLE sentence. :D :D :D


In terms of a "Cable only" or Euro Ad.....

I've made a game out of troubleshooting and doing new things on the Mac. I get together with a good geek-friend of mine and we pass the pipe for an hour or so, then we make a sort of drinking game out of figuring it out. We take turns trying things to get a particular effect. A flubbed approach or going to the manual/help menu requires a bonghit or terquila shot.:D It's amazing how infrequently I wind up too inebriated to function before getting things to work. Too lit to focus my eyes but it works now.....:D ;) :p
 
Comedic candidates

Forgot totally about Alan Partridge.....he is seriously askew, & a truly unique talent.
A successor to Spike Milligan in many ways.
Yes he would CERTAINLY do.

I've seen lots of people like that, and I know most of them probably don't get high. As it's been said before, the "high" effect could be nervousness or a cold or alergies or anything. But for all I know, maybe she was high. I'm not an expert.
 
She looks a little high. I think that the ad is hilarious.

She's also pretty hot. Nothing like hot chicks that like to catch one every once in a while. That is all right.
