Obama vs. McCain (Mac vs. PC) ads
11 Mac vs. PC-themed ads related to the election. A friend of mine was producing the ads and I did the site design. The "Palin" one is particularly good.

(This happened today...they're having hosting issues. I'll try to fix this)

Link works now.
I'm not sure how effective these will be though. Apple parodies are a bit overdone at this point. You should have tried to get Ellen Feiss, but I guess that's like getting J. D. Salinger.
Oh, and your Obama's too black, or not black enough, or something. (I kid because I love).
Site's well done though.

Well-designed, cute, simple, and non-hateful. I would very much like to purchase your product.

Yeah it seems to be back up. I think some of the ads suffer from some of the same problems the real ads do (the mac/obama guy looking like a jerk), but some of them work. I didn't have anything to do with the filming or scripting.

Oh dear God. I can't tell if the guy playing McCain is supposed to be McCain or Toledo's mayor, Carty Finkbeiner.

NoScript keeps blocking things and telling me it's intercepting "clickjacking" errors. Not sure if this will be a problem for new visitors or not.

I had that problem, too, so I used IE. It doesn't bother protecting you from the latest hacker tricks.

I like these too, but did you change the McCain quote about Janet Reno on purpose? That bugged me. :)
