Just browsing del.icio.us, I see only 141 people have bookmarked these new Mad ads with Mitchell and Webb, but over 400 people have saved this rant against them.

I liked that ads, although they are immensely patronising and a little painful to watch in places. In the American version the Mac character isn't quite as smug.

They're good if you're quite techie, or if you're not at all techie, it's only if you're somewhere inbetween and only understand brand name windows products like excel say, that you might struggle.

didn't like it much. I spent the whole time fixated by the fact I had to make a computer work with only 1 mouse button. Not had much call to use one since. My girlfriend uses one in the lab office at work & dreams of a half decent PC cos it keeps overheating & locking up.. Then again it's probably pretty old. I'm sure a fan could help ;) I find the ads arguments riddled with holes and omissions - but hey, they are very funny nevertheless.
That rant was from Charlie Brooker, of TV Go Home and Nathan Barley fame.. He's back with a new series of Screenwipe on BBC4. The first series of screenwipe was BLUDDY GRATE.
