When Imitation Sucks

Apple’s “I’m a Mac” campaign is a great advertising campaign.

The production style is simple and elegant and the message comes through loud and clear, so it’s not the least bit surprising that many have copied the approach.

Come on people. If you are going to do bad crap, at least be original and come up with your own idea.
