Just like Greg Gillis could convince me that PCs are cool, along comes another Microsoft commercial starring The Tron Guy and it has the opposite affect.  I’m selling my PC and buying a Mac.  Thanks Bill Gates!

“Without the networks and communities created by the PC, the world might never have even heard of the “Tron Guy” or internet phenomenons just like him,” so says the ad page. But here’s the thing – most people still look at this guy (can’t believe Microsoft couldn’t find a meme from 2008) not like he’s awesome for being a fat guy in spandex and “doing his own thing” but as a kinda pathetic.  Laughing at him, definitely not with him.

I will say, with him being from Minnesota, that state strikes me as something of a cultural oddity.  Can someone get Chuck Klosterman and Rex Sorgatz to co-author an anthropoligical study of the state?

Girl Talk, nay Greg Gillis, heartily endorses the PC.  And given the propensity of his live shows and his always awesome mashup albums, he’s earned the right to proudly declare his computing preference.  This is actually the first “I’m a PC” commercial that has made me think, hey you know PC’s are okay – even though I just dropped $85 to have mine repaired for a corrupted hal.dll file.
