Anonymous writes in reaction to the heated debate about an older Laptop Hunter ad featuring Sheila:
Wow, I’ve learned so much from all of this stimulating, relevant debate. Thanks, guys!
Just a few of the things I’ve learned from these comments:
1. The only reason to buy a Mac is OSX
2. The only reason to buy a Mac is the build quality
3. OSX sucks compared to Windows
4. Windows sucks compared to Linux
5. Windows sucks compared to OSX
6. Real video editors use Final Cut Pro and AVID… unless they use Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere instead.
7. Fry’s Electronics is either universally agreed upon as the best electronics store in the world, or the worst, but it is most decidedly not anywhere in between.
8. Everybody who uses a Mac loves it to death… except for those who don’t.
9. Everybody who uses a PC loves it to death… except for those who don’t.
10. Apple’s support is better than Toshiba’s support which is better than Apple’s support which is better than Toshiba’s support.
11. Taking one side or the other, hyperbolically, makes you a terrible, blind fanboy incapable of seeing things objectively… but being objective means you’re “an ignorant fag who is afraid of conflict”.
12. Ram is like cupholders… which means you can buy it for 25 cents at a drugstore and hang it off the edge of your dashboard
13. Ram is like car seats, semi-permanently bolted into a vehicle and unable to be added to due to the limited capacity of the vehicle
14. Ram sticks are meant to be sat on or have drinks placed atop of them15. The salesman is gay
16. You’re gay
17. I’m gay
18. Several people here “suck dicks”… which is apparently a bad thing, given the context with which this is said
19. The point of the ad is to sway people from Apple
20. The point of the ad is to sell Vista
21. The point of the ad is to tell the average consumer that Windows-based PCs are cheaper
22. The point of the ad is to tell professional filmmakers that Windows-based PCs are more powerful
23. Mac fans use horrible grammar
24. PC fans use horrible grammar
25. Most users of the internet at large UES HORRIBAL GRAMMER…
Oh, and 26. Her tits are small.
Legend.
Wow. That is one long, involved and contradictory comment. In a truly hilarious way.
So now we’re commenting on the comments? What a wonderful thing this internet truly is!
McD
I just hope this become a regular end of the week feature.
Hahaha! That was the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
Apple Sucks though
Awesome!
He really went all out!
27. Windows sucks for anything but gaming.
(It’s funny cuz it’s true)
Who cares…..
Point 26….though I have to agree with…. :P
This is a pretty good list, but he forgot one important thing. Any list like this needs to include no less than five iPhone references.
I say its evil media who turns things into battles.
Its like saying every human must think alike and look alike and think alike. How realistic is that?
This discussion is as pointless as that. Every person thinks different then the next and that opinion changes constantly when you age, earn more money or discover new things.
Another example is like we argue about the color we should put on cars. I like black you like blue another likes purple. Who is right or wrong?
Hope you get my point :)
+1
But, I also thought the comment was accurate about how quite a bit of people don’t mention anything useful or explain why they like or dislike something when they make a remark about an article.
Honestly, if you’re looking to the comments section to find any accurate information or learn anything about a particular subject then you really have no idea how to use the internet properly. As for me, I find it entertaining.
What I’ve learned from this comment?
1. That if 3, 4 and 5 are true, Linux FTW!
2. That just like cars, it’s not the machine, it’s the warranty and the driver.
3. That unless you work for one of the aforementioned companies you shouldn’t spend so much time defending your buying choices… Isn’t capitalism about choice in the market anyways?
4. Sucking dick is in vogue this days, glad to be someone against fashion.
5. If it works for you, it works for you. And you are nothing but a very brief and sad blink of an eye (Even if you think the world only came to be somewhere around 6,000 years ago or so).
6. I hate lists.
7. That any machine touted to be the best will not be so in say what? 1, 2 months?
8. People really love lists.
9. Fanbois will be fanbois, fanbois, fanbois.
10. That the term gay should be used like in the old times, to express happiness. The internet would instantly be filled with more or less happy people.
11. LOL
