Office Stress - Get a Mac adQuick question: What does Steve Jobs love more than a vegan diet and his Sunday morning cup o’ coffee? Black mock turtlenecks, you say? Fail! You are now to return to the basement and continue reading The Big Book of 1001 Documented Facts About the Apple CEO.

The answer, of course, is the bumbling duo of John Hodgman and Justin Long in the ‘Get a Mac’ advertisements and the Windows-bashing that ensues. If, like me, you’d thought that Apple would put a stop to the campaign after thirty-nine spots in the line-up, you were wrong (again).

Taking its place as the fortieth TV spot in the seemingly never-ending series is Office Stress, a genuinely funny advert about how Microsoft Office’s finally becoming a native Mac application is a serious cause for concern for the PC. Full marks for John Hodgman’s hilarious expressions in this video. It’s worth a watch.
