**** that was a nicely done parody clip.

But this one's pretty stupid. So leave it alone. Don't get all sentimental and stuff about ur computer... remember, it's a computer after all.

I wish that was actually funny. It was just stupid. An avid windows user/mac hater wouldn't think that was funny, or even clever. I too have seen some funny mac bashing videos..that was not one.

I don't think it's really bashing Macs. It's associating Macs with homosexuality, but disparagingly, so it's obviously just a joke...A bad, tasteless joke. There's nothing wrong with homosexuality, and speaking disrespectfully of it is offensive and wrong. Most things that try to be funny by saying something's gay or saying a character is gay...Well, they're almost never actually funny. Like in this case. It's not really insulting Macs, it's just having fun at the expense of switcher ads. But everything is stupid about that video (poor animation, poor drawing, poor voices), and it does not in the least resemble a real switcher ad at all. It's not just because it's animated, because I'm sure it is possible to do a realistic lampoon of a switcher ad that is animated. But this is just garbage. Dumb garbage. It's nothing. No one's gonna see it.

Hey, I'm gay and I'm buying a powerbook. Does that mean that when I get it, I'll turn straight?

Yes, Macs are that powerful.
