Final Frame: And I'm a PC [dot] Com

092908_tf_andimapc4.jpgWe're sure you haven't missed the new PC commercial that came back at the nearly-slanderous Mac ads. Well now their catch phrase has become an internet phenomenon that is making somebody very, very rich somewhere off of Google Ad Clicks revenue. Go to I'mAPC.com to keep "refresh"-ing through the user-submitted phrases like the rest of us monkeys. Some more favorites after the jump...

A friend of mine told me they saw something online where some Microsoft employees were pretending they had a new OS for microsoft but it was actually vista and all the people who tested it out were like WOW this is so great and easy to use.

Do you know where I can find this clip? Ever heard of it?

(as one of the creators of this monstrosity)

You're right, we are surely getting rich off the ads. Last I checked we were just passing the $30 mark, and I saw some great Big Macs with OUR name on it!

seriously though — while monitizing this puppy would be great, it's just a big gag, and judging by the 15,000 submissions so far, we're not the only ones who keep giggling as we see new ones come in!

witchbaby - i know the commercial you're talking about. In it, they called it Windows Mojave, and then in the end said it was vista all along.

My favorite part about it is how they just are looking at it the whole time and talking about how good it looks. Then in the end the person says something or other how you just have to use vista to see. But that's the thing in the commercial they're not using it, they're just looking at it, but if you try to actually use vista for more then 10 minutes, then the headache starts.

I used to be windows guy, and now i use both, but more mac then anything else. Unfortunately my parents got a new computer and it has vista, so i have to help them on it from time to time, and i hate it. Seems like they changed things just for the sake of changing them and no other reason. i have not found one things i really like about it over XP. I know it has a lot of glitz and glam, which makes it look pretty, but i have found the actual functionality poor.

I am so not the tech person but I think the funniest one is "Hitting Refresh so many times is giving me a seizure." And no I didn't submit it.
