Hello, I’m a Christian…

Hello, I'm a Christian...Apple ads always seem to be among the most frequently parodied commercials around. Earlier this year saw one comparing the PS3 vs. Nintendo Wii; a quick search on YouTube shows dozens more.

Have to admit, though, that this is the first time I’ve seen a religious parody of Apple ads. Think Christian has a series of videos where the PC and Mac roles are filled by a Christian and a “Christ-follower.” While this blogger is neither, having been raised by a Jewish father and an ex-Catholic mother, I have a number of friends who would probably prefer to describe themselves as “Christ-followers” over “Christians.” For one thing, it’s well-established that Christ-followers don’t get as many viruses as Christians, though that could be due to their relatively small marketshare.

On a related note, TIME Magazine has also apparently established that God is a Mac user, so I guess we know WWJC (that’s “Where Would Jesus Compute”).

You're kidding me, right, about these new parodies?

[Kate checks out the commercial]:
Okay, the whole "but today's Saturday" bit was amusing, but seriously? No.
