I'm a bit slow with this, but David Mitchell and Robert Webb of Peep Show fame (That Mitchell and Webb Sound is great also, but That Mitchell and Webb Look is not so good) are the front men for the new Apple UK Get a Mac ads.

These ads are essentially re-workings of the original US ads with a more British 'bent' and they work pretty well in my opinion. David Mitchell makes a great PC but I'm not so sure about Robert Webb as the Mac, maybe he needs a revised wardrobe - more casual and 'slacker'. I look forward to some Peep Show style "what I'm really thinking of you" ads - but I doubt they'll do them.

Apple's new Get A Mac ad campaign, the TV Ads are quite funny in a slightly cringe-inducing way, I can see many PC users being irked and just a tad offended by some of the simplifications in the ads. The PC guy is a very stereotyped PC office person and the Mac guy is a painfully trendy designer-stubbled type. Viruses is maybe a bit cheeky considering the recent proof of concept viruses and supposed holes in OSX, but hopefully this is a sign of Apple paying more attention to viruses. Restarting is funny, but I for one have had to restart my Mac a few times. Better is well, not the best. iLife is a pretty good ad. Network is my favourite. WSJ is for an American audience really. Be sure to have a delve around the site.
