The Brits now have their own version of those funny Apple commercials pitting Mac against PC.

The commercials, which can be viewed on Apple's U.K. Web site, follow the same scenario as the American versions. The only strange thing is that instead of Bill Gates, "PC" bears a striking resemblance to Al Gore.

Come on now. Everyone who has seen An Inconvenient Truth knows that Gore is an Apple man.

Peep Show!
by fissionignition January 29, 2007 9:14 AM PST: These "Get A Mac" ads actually feature higher caliber celebrities than the ones we get to enjoy here in the States. The Mac & PC are played by David Mitchell and Robert Webb, who feature in the hilarious BBC series "Peep Show", among other work.
