MacDailyNews reminds us that Apple’s 1984 Macintosh ad has been named the best Super Bowl ad in history and TVGuide’s #1 ad of all time. Apple’s advertisement, which only aired once on national television continues to win the best super bowl ad every year.
I feel that Mac users should stop being so selfish. We as Mac users appreciate our roots and what the Apple and the Macintosh has done for us in our careers and personally. I can’t help but complain because every time a large media group opens up their site to take votes on which advert is the best of all time, Mac blogs begin their “vote now” race. When 100 Macintosh blogs are telling readers to vote for the Apple ad for the best ad ever, of course its going to be the winner. I don’t see Johnson & Johnson emailing all of its mailing list subscribers asking their customers to vote for their ad. Even Apple doesn’t ask its customers to vote. What if I want to vote for a company other than Apple for best commercial ever? Does that make me a bad Mac user? This search on MDN just proves it. 75% of all entries with the word “vote” are links asking you to vote for Apple’s products, ads and management in a plethora of “best of” lists. MDN is not the only blog doing this. I subscribe to 75 Apple related weblogs and all of them are guilty of this.
Let’s stop pushing Apple so much. Even if a product sucks, I’m afraid the Mac community will still whole heartedly vote for it if the contender was a Microsoft product.
