Apple Switch ad to feature Bill Gates

mstrebe writes: Apple computer is currently filming a switch add featuring Microsoft’s Bill Gates.

“I finally just got sick of the whole damned thing.” says Gates, noticably tired in the ad. “I mean, I don’t know how many times I tried to tell these guys what I wanted, and they just kept coming out with hackneyed crap. Last week, I was trying to install a smartcard infrastructure around the house–what an unbelievable pain in the ass that was. Windows Me? Are you kidding! Sure, it looks a bit more like Aqua, but you can tell it’s still Windows underneath. I just wanted something that works, you know, and is made out of titanium. Besides, they totally go with Melinda’s interior decorating, and the only purpose I have for a computer is to burn DVDs of the kids.”

Microsoft PR people are at a complete loss to explain Bill’s appearance in the commercial, noting that he has become ‘distant’ as of late, and had been lingering in front of the local Apple store while walking through the mall.

    I switched, and I love my new computer. I don't like the part about being gay as much, but I'm getting used to it.

    I was surprised about the requirement to vote as a democrat. Not that I care about politics at all, I just found it surprising.
