Am I the only one that is now getting really bored with the Mac commercials. They were great until this holiday season. Now, it seems that every major news website has a Mac commercial on it. I think Apple has over done it with the commercials. Once in a while is fine, but not all the time. They are advertising too many times. It is losing the audience with Mac overkill.
Got a tip for us?

All campaigns seem to go like this. We see Apple everywhere now, but six months down the line, we might not see them anywhere. It reminds me of the McDonalds ads that come an go with the tide.
Anyways, isn't a little mental anguish worth knowing that someone might have just purcahsed, and is now happily using a Mac?

Apple UK are following the Nintendo method of advertising, IE not doing any.
In fact you see more Macs in other people adverts trying to push the whole lifestyle issue, and having an iMac in the background.

I heard the "i'm a mac" guy was not going to be doing those commercials again? I'm sure i saw him i a new one.........
I rarely see Apple ad's! But then again...I don't watch much TV.
Speaking of the Dell commercial..that ad with the guy on a couch going on a ride thru the dell warehouse is really getting annoying.

I don't see the commercials much on t.v., just when I am surfing the net. Seems like all the news websites are advertsing macs. Which is great, don't get me wrong. The more awareness of macs, then better we are.
If I've seen a company's advert too many times, and it starts to bother me, I avoid their product and consider the competitor's product more closely. I hate "try-hards", and that goes for companies as well.
It's not cool to over-advertise.
But anyway, I have never seen an Apple advert.
Over here in the UK I have seen precisely no Apple adverts at all. I think Hollyoaks (*spit*) has done a better job of advertising Macs than Apple UK has done.
On the other hand, Dell have really gone out on the town with their ads. They seem to be on everything.
