Let me start off by saying that I own a DVR and do not watch commercials. I rarely even watch live TV anymore. When I am watching a recorded show that has commercials, I hit a button that skips forward ~30 seconds. The only consistent exception is when I catch a glimpse of the PC vs Mac commercials. If I see them, I hit the button to skip backwards 30 seconds and watch the commercial.
Not only do I like the commercials, I happen to like both actors. Justin Long (Mac Guy) was a favorite of mine on the old TV show "Ed". He has also starred in several movies that I liked. John Hodgman (PC Guy) co-stars on the Daily Show with John Stewart. I am assuming that you watch the Daily Show. It is probably the best news show on TV.
Well it just so happens that tomorrow's Daily Show has Bill Gates as the special guest. I can not wait to see the jokes that they make when the PC Guy and Bill Gates meet. Can the PC Guy have a bigger hero?
