I'm crushed. Are you crushed?
Let's all take a moment to mourn the loss of Apple's snotty "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" commercials. Justin Long, the Mac half of the commercials, has said that he's pretty sure there won't be anymore of the ads.
In an interview with AV Club, Long was asked, "What's the status of those Apple commercials?"
Justin responded:
"You know, I think they might be done. In fact, I heard from John, I think they’re going to move on. I can’t say definitively, which is sad, because not only am I going to miss doing them, but also working with John. I’ve become very close with him, and he’s one of my dearest, greatest friends. It was so much fun to go do that job, because there’s not a lot to it for me. A lot of it is just keeping myself entertained between takes, and there’s no one I’d rather do it with than John."
There's been no official word on whether or not Apple is axing the spots. They could just be getting rid of the actors and going for some new talent. Any suggestions?

Unless, of course, the iPad actor is a contortionist who can bend over and shove his head right up his ass...
On another note, i haven't see a "I'm a PC" advert in ages. On the contrary, i don't watch much tv.
The ads were amusing very early on but so quickly became disingenuous with misinformation in their comparisons that I'm certainly very glad to see them go.
