Apple Mac Hater
I am a Mac user, but I found Charlie Brooker's I hate Macs rant to be very entertaining.
I hate Macs. I have always hated Macs. I hate people who use Macs. I even hate people who don't use Macs but sometimes wish they did. Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
Charlie, I am a Mac user but I don't hate PC users.
Charlie argues, "Ultimately the campaign's biggest flaw is that it perpetuates the notion that consumers somehow "define themselves" with the technology they choose." So you hate me, because I choose a Mac? Or you hate me because you think Mac users feel they are superior to PC users?
In any event, I love you. But, like you, I hate those Mac commercials.
