Hero, I'm a Mac - Apple ads in Japan

I recently found this English blog entry on a Japanese site called "Think different: The Japanese Apple ads" that discusses the new switch ads in Japan.

This guy also made his own switch ad which brings in one of the most convincing Pros for switching: The font rendering, that is the easo of reading on a Mac vs. a PC. What do you think?

That was a fasinating experience in how different cultures think differently - thanks!

In Japan the Mac gave the PC a name

He calls him Waaku (work)

PC: I see, I have only business-like acquaintances… I want to be called something special too.
Mac: Work acquaintances are your main thing so… how about Waaku (Work)?
