07/22/2002 Entry: "Macs for stoners"

Eric just sent me this link to one of those Apple commercials. It was apparently yanked from the air because people thought the actress was stoned.

Gee, I wonder why they'd think that?

Yep I'm in Windows and I saw it on Quicktime.

That's an incredibly lame ad. I've seen some good ones to entice people to switch to a mac, but someone in marketing dropped the ball on this one.

Maybe she's supposed to look all wasted and bloodshot because she's been up all night re-writing her paper, which is truly a bummer.

The end should be changed. "My name is Ellen? And I'm a pot smoker." "Hi Ellen!"

"I was writing paaaapeeeer..."

I'm not sure if she's wasted or if she's just one of those frightening dimbulb teens who got no favours from bad editing. The whole ad is like, a bummer.

You need to install Quicktime for Windows if you're using a PC, rather than a Mac.

I'm actually watching it in Quicktime, but I'm on a Mac. :-) Maybe one of these other people can answer for PC's.

even her EYES are bloodshot.

Jeez!

I thought you meant people thought she was being stoned...like people throwing rocks at her. Not high! *Is it Friday yet?*

Wow, she is soooooo wasted.

I didn't find it funny. Actually, I didn't find it at all. My Windows Medeia player gave me an error message about not being able to find a suitable decompresser. What are you watching it in?

I want to see the stoned actress in the Apple commercial too.

OMG! I'm laughing so hard right now! Um, I was like hmm....that is like a bummer that they took that commercial off the air. Hey stoners need computers too! HAHAHAHAHA
