In its efforts to hijack Apple’s Get a Mac ads and embrace and extend their message to suit itself, Microsoft apparently forgot to actually watch Apple’s clips. User Sigma902 remixed the two for comical effect (well, probably not so funny to Microsoft after it spent $300 million brainstorming it all), but his post managed to get waylaid in my spam filter.

If subliminally advertising Apple’s Macs through implied comparisons wasn’t bad enough, Microsoft’s subsequent ads make the case of Apple’s Get a Mac message even harder in an expanded series of “I’m a PC” ads: “I am Not Alone,” “Stereotype,” and “Our CEO is a Raging Nutcase.”
