Products That Make Fun of Mac and Apple

PC Devotee? Make Fun of Your Apple Buddies With These

July 20, 2009

Maybe you thought the PC-bashing products on Friday were a little harsh. Well, ridicule is a two-way street, and of course there are products that also bash Apple.

Naturally, someone somewhere made one of those Calvin-peeing-on-Apple decals — but for something a bit more palatable, check out these funny goods, many of which have to do with the spinning ball of death (the closest Mac equivalent of the PC blue screen of death), like this button ($1).

So, by popular request: Mac-dissing products!

i hate that spinning ball. I used Mac all through high school and it was nice, but I still like PCs better. I never had to deal with that blue screen so maybe that's why I like PCs better.

I was simply commenting on what you said " Despite what a lot of Apple users seem to think, PC users don't dislike PCs. If they did, they wouldn't have bought them". I still don't feel like my reply was off or putting words in your mouth. I'm sorry if it came across wrong as I wasn't trying to upset you or anyone.

By the way, I know plenty of people who switch from Mac back to a PC, so you are also going to have your fair share of people who don't like Macs, which I know astonishes a lot of Mac users. I was forced to use a Mac a while back and I disliked it; not everyone who uses Mac has a choice in the matter, either.

I didn't say they did. Please don't put words in my mouth. I guess you're not seeing the majority of PC users. Most PC users use them because they chose a PC over a MAC. I constantly see MAC people who believe they are somehow superior based simply on their choice of computer. I couldn't tell you how many times I've had to deal with people who believe that everyone would chose a MAC if he or she could afford one. It's simply not the case.

Maybe it's because I deal with people that jumped ship. I really don't get to interact with many happy Windows people. I'm not a cross platform tech, strictly Mac. I'm sure if I was I would see both types of users. Didn't mean to offend as I'm not a PC basher (my parents both use PC). With a user base as large as windows has you are going to have a fair share of people who have to use a PC and possibly dislike it. Not everyone who uses a PC has a choice in the matter.

Why would you get that feeling? Despite what a lot of Apple users seem to think, PC users don't dislike PCs. If they did, they wouldn't have bought them.

I have a feeling most of those PC bashing products are made by PC users ;-) Personally Windows doesn't bother me as I don't have to use it.

You're right, it's not as harsh. I guess PC don't feel the same need to ridicule others that Apple users apparently do. :P

It just didn't seem as harsh. I didn't think the command Q button or the baby onesie was that much of a dig. Where's the Apple TP? ;-)

It seems like there are the same number of products in this post as in the PC bashing post. :shrug:

It appears there may be a limited amount of Mac bashing merchandise out there. Maybe it's because we are less than 10% of the market share, shouldn't that be bashing enough? ;-) The bigger you are the bigger the bulls eye on your back.
