So I’m watching TV and this commercial comes on where the “stars” of the commercial are upset because their computer and internet connection is running slow. One person even experiences the dreaded Blue Screen of Death… and that’s where the whole thing falls apart - because she’s using a Macbook…
The service pitched has multiple disclaimers that it’s only for PC’s, yet at least half of the computers shown in the commercial are iMacs and Macbooks…
Now I know, the folks who use these services are the ones who are not computer literate and probably don’t have a computer person available to them to help them with their computers. These are also the folks who don’t know and probably don’t care about the differences between Macs and PCs and as a result this company can get away with a stupid flub like this…
Still it bothers me that a company that claims to be able to improve the performance of your PC would use Macs in their commercials…
