This has to be the hardest version of Mario ever. I would kill the person who made it.

Well with the holidays come holiday themed commercials and I just want to share something I noticed.

The Alltel and the Mac vs. PC commercials are fundamentally the same thing. A “suave” young hip guy and a geek or four. Here is an example of both of their TV commercials.

Mac vs. PC

These are their regular commercials and here are their holiday commercials:

Notice anything? I sure did. Both went from actual people to claymation. I have a couple of ideas why.

  1. Both companies realized that people like claymation at the same time.
  2. It’s less expensive to have a clay Santa then it is to hire one and buy a set.
  3. They both use the same company to produce their ads.
  4. They are the same company.
  5. All their base are belong to geeks.
  6. An advanced race of clay dreidels are trying to take over media and give Santa a bad name therefore making Hanukkah superior to Christmas.
  7. Coincidence.

And now for something completely different:

Just random

Well I was just lazing about when I saw this picture on the cover of the Verizon magazine. (I didn’t know they had one either)

At the first look you may not notice the interesting part. Heres a hint:

Got it yet? well the Dell logo was taken off the first computer. I guess it makes sense because Verizon isn’t advertising Dell. I still think it was funny that I noticed it in the first place. Thats all.
