That was terrible. Was someone sitting over the editor's shoulder, making sure there was only one line per shot?

The Mac commercials are memorable and tell people what's good about Macs. Whereas this is some ad agency getting paid hundreds of millions to shit into a camera and tell everyone it's a commercial.

Welcome to the dark side. But I guess that means you'll miss out on chewy delicious computers.

The terms "moist and chewy" were used in conjunction with Bill Gates adjusting a wedgie.
