YouTube + Mac Parody = Viral Wank
Apple came out with a line of TV ads poking fun at PCs and spawning a number of parodies on YouTube. One such Parody pokes fun at how the original ads features two white males. It introduces an African American man to represent the new black MacBook Pro who has a bigger "harddrive" and can "run faster too", comparing favorably to the other two "computers".

The Comments spiral quickly into wank, flames, "statistics" and claims of stalking. Since the parody is in the top ten videos most viewed for today, the wank is massive. I didn't get even half way through it all. But the replies fall into the following rough catergories:

1) LOL!

2) Stereotyping is terribly offensive, this video is setting us back decades as a society! Black men shouldn't ever be sterotyped as having bigger harddrives because it's demeaning. AKA: Humorless Pseudo-Intellectuals

3) Black People aren't that cool. Look at the Statistics! Subtext: Jealousy/Harddrive Envy.

4) Look! Look at the reverse racism! So OPPRESSED! Subtext: Jealousy/Harddrive Envy.

5) Why doesn't YouTube feature MEEEE? Aka: Whiny Egomania.


A Stupidity Gem After being told that he's humorless, LeboviciAB84 feels the need to defend himself:

"I'm actually very funny. I've got some hilarious jokes about Basil Boothroyd, although it would take us off-topic to run through them here. ... I should add: the last time I did an impression of my Uncle Allen, all were agreed that it was "very funny"."
