The campaign ended, so no more ads.

Can't keep an ad campaign going forever. Plus, those ads were fine and all but way too easy to spoof, and they got old pretty fast.

She was the best. The number of jokes and fan webpages she generated were awsome.

Plus, deep down, I like to think she was stoned. And that was... a bummer.

The Switch ads just made switching look stupid. Especially that Ellen Feiss one. They basically said "You should switch for... basically really lame-sounding reasons, and we don't really know what we're talking about."

There were some exceptions. I didn't mind the Janie Porsche one. But most of them were just dumb.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

That would be from the really weird face she's making that causes her forehead to crinkle up all funny.

HAhahahaha! They are using a Paul Thurrot quote as a reason to get a mac:
What They Said:
"But in a world where spyware is only the most recent attempt at tearing down the House of Windows, I’m beginning to wonder whether the alternatives don’t make some sense.
