In an article in The Guardian, Charlie Brooker points out that the use of the comedians Mitchell and Webb in the UK 'Mac Vs PC' campaign for Apple is curious. They both star in the sitcom Peep Show in which, to quote the article's author, "Mitchell plays a repressed, neurotic underdog, and Webb plays a selfish, self-regarding poseur". He goes on to say, "So when you see the ads, you think, 'PCs are a bit rubbish yet ultimately lovable, whereas Macs are just smug, preening tossers.'"
I love you Charlie Brooker. Though I do have a mac... but that's not the point here.
