“Macs can only put grungy rebels up.”
And Rush Limbaugh.

TV commercials have sucked for decades. When I was a kid, products were sold by song and dance routines. Never mind the soap flakes won't remove stains, the song is nifty. Now, products are promoted by emotions, perceptions and identity. If you drink Moose-whiz beer, you belong to the in-crowd. If you buy a Mac, you're smart and "they" are not. If you vote for this candidate, you're not a racist.
Why not have commercials that describe a product's actual attributes? "This car gets 50 mpg, does 120 mph and lasts 300,000 miles". "That candidate will bankrupt the economy".

Ahh so you deny that Apple uses an image of a grungy looking rebel to represent their main product under discussion. There’s honesty for ya.
