I love a company that laughs at itself.
Apple has just posted two Switcher ad parodies starring Will Ferrell in a Santa suit. Yes, ad parodies. Right on Apple's site.
Granted, Microsoft did commission those Clippy parodies starring Gilbert Gottfried, for the introduction of the supposedly Clippy-free Office XP. And they, too, were funny. (Though parts of them, like the IT droid burbling "Office XP is a great upgrade!" in that overenunciated glottal-nasal marketing whine, are unbearably smarmy.)
But-- well, there's just something warm and fuzzy about this.
Maybe it's the beard.
