Mac vs PC, Mac vs Sumo Salad
I came across an ad for Sumo Salad the other day (a “healthy fast food” chain here in Australia):
www.sumosalad.com/sumo_ad.html
It’s a good play on words making Mac a Big Mac, but overall very unoriginal and rather boring after the first “hello” lines. How can they blatantly copy the Mac ads so much (especially the music) – I know it’s a parody but you have to draw the line somewhere.
I don’t know if Apple would be happy having “Mac” in this ad as the bloated, fat, slow kid… they wouldn’t want people to associate actual Macs with bloat and slowness would they? :)
