I don't know how many of you remember www.helpmegetag5.com, but I checked recently and found that the guy has now been given over $4600. Needless to say I was kind of appalled, and thus took it upon myself to create the parody so clearly deserved. So, without further ado, I present to you:

www.helpmegetamacbook.com

The friend I used admittedly wasn't the best actor, but he just looked too much like the G5 guy to pass up.

Nothing quite like a little comic relief.

? Well, as it is a shot-for-shot parody of that guy's video, I would imagine it would be clear to anyone who actually watched it that it was created for the sake of humor as opposed to monetary gain, but I will concede it was probably easier to just write it off with two-cent sarcasm.

If anyone happens to actually watch the video, I'd enjoy hearing your responses. Thanks.

I'd laugh if people actually gave you money.

If you really want to make the parody extra-special, make the next one "helpmegetag5powerbook.com".

I laughed, that was great. FWIW, I was actually tempted to give you a $1.
Of course, that would be a dollar less towards my own MacBook.
