Mac vs PC in Japan

Remember those Raamens fellas that did the net-famous sushi vid? Well, they are back, and bringing the Mac vs PC ads to Japan.
The Japanese version doesn't seem to have the problem the American commercials do; the PC is arguably more charismatic and loveable in American commercials (d'oh, shouldn't have gotten such a cool commedian to play him, Mac overlords), and the Mac in America is a bit of a douche. Anyways, enjoy, the same thing, only different...

  1. ....well I don't speak japanese so I'm assuming the man in the business suit was the Macintosh and he was sneezing on the Windows operating system. Then the PC guy, who is dressed in scrubby clothing because PCs are lazy, said something about viruses. After this the man replied that no virus could penetrate his divine frame and then gave his life so all other computers would be able to rid themselves of viruses if they chose to believe in The Macintosh.
    At least that's what I saw.

  3. Youtube is down at the moment, but if I remember correctly, it basically goes like
    I'm a Mac
    I'm a PC *achoo!*
    Are you alright?
    Don't get too close,I have a contagious virus!
    Don't worry I will be fine.
    What Macs don't get viruses?
    No, and my nipples shoot lazer beams.

    Or something like that.

  4. What a pal! Thanks for the support. I hope I can at least help this guy understand a little better why this lifestyle is not better or worse than marriage. But, I imagine there are some people who simply cannot understand it. Oh well!

  5. Glad to support you Jake. In the case that you do fall for a woman, or the rules change, I think you will make the right decisions about what to do.
