I was going to call this post “Fuck you Mitchell, Fuck you Webb” because the one-gag-pony double-act has annoyed me so much by selling out to Apple for those spine-gratingly irritating “Macs are cool and fun, PCs are boring and shit” adverts you see all over the Web, in the cinema and justabouteveryfuckingwhereyoulook. A fatal shot to the credibility knackers if ever there was one.
Turns out there is no discernible difference between the Mitchell and Webb of the TV series, the radio show, the Peep Show, the stage show, the adverts or, dare I say it, if you ever actually met them in real life.
And to think that I really liked Peep Show. And even paid £25 to see those bastards do their shtick at the Colston Hall in Bristol. “That’s a bad miss” isn’t even funny, you cnuts. And I could have done without seeing your cock in Confetti, Webb.
So, fuck you both
And if Macs are for fun and PCs aren’t, how do Mitchell, Web and the Apple marketing dwads explain this picture I took in HMV at Picadilly Circus in London? It shows rows and rows and rows and rows of Windows Games, the like of which you would playing on a boring, shit PC.
When I asked one of the HMV operatives to show me the Mac games he looked all gone out and had to go and ask one of his colleagues, who said “There might be some in the PC games.” Now that’s funny.

Grow up!
To even suggest that PCs are better smacks of such ignorance as to wholly discredit your manhood! Have you ever used a MAC? Seriously, what planet are you one?!
Is this where I type “ROFLMAO”? I think it is! ROFLMAO!
So where’s your list of top-notch Mac games that’s going to top Half Life 2, WOW and zillions of others I can’t even bother to type.
You’re not still going to bang on about Myst and Marathon, are you?
On a personal level, I salute your argument in telling me to “Grow up” and then insulting my manhood. That is truly Oxford Debating Society standard.
And then you ask “Have you ever used a MAC?” A cursory glimpse around this site and a search on t’Internet will show you that I worked at a magazine publishing company for 9 years – so yes, lots of Macs.
Such is my shame. The first computer I ever looked at teh Internets with was that crappy Mac with the built-in colour monitor.
I refer you to the honourable Charlie Brooker:
“Ultimately the campaign’s biggest flaw is that it perpetuates the notion that consumers somehow “define themselves” with the technology they choose. If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that “says something” about your personality, don’t bother. You don’t have a personality. A mental illness, maybe – but not a personality. “
