Charlie Brooker also hates Macs

Charlie can say it in more words than us as it's his "main job" so he's got more than five minutes.

I hate Macs

Don't worry, the ensuing comments war will more than make up for it.

Brilliant. My favourite section is the bit that reads:

"I hate Macs. I have always hated Macs. I hate people who use Macs. I even hate people who don't use Macs but sometimes wish they did. Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui."

So true. So accurate. So amusing. So sure to piss off Mr 24" iBook from last week. Watch out for the train...

I'm not sure what's funnier - PC users taking such umbrage at a naff series of advertisements, or Mac users having to defend their hallowed choice of platforms at every opportunity.

(I used a Mac in 1997, and it crashed! Oh noes! ... Well I used a PC in 1997, and that crashed too! Macs never crash! ... Oh yes they do! ... Ad nauseam et infinitum.)

Oh, and then there are the Linux fanboys/BSD nuts/AmigaOS freaks/RISC OS perverts who attempt to clamber into such pointless argumentative masturbation, sincerely believing that *their* platforms are about to finally take over the world.

Those people? You're great too!

1. I hate Aston-Martins as well, because I can't afford them.

2. I hate Einstein's Theory of Relativity, because I don't understand it.

Go back to choosing which flavour of Vista to waste your money on.

So you're saying poor, thick people use Macs, too?

i think he's saying that poor thick people cant afford Macs and dont understand them. But he didn't address the Hat issue.

I just hate computers. Generally. Macs and PCs just seem to fail you in different ways.

My mother ran off with a mac three months after I was born. My father, a four slice toaster, had to work double shifts while his mother, a slice of stilton cheese with apricots raised me.

nothing, because hats can't talk.

I contest that!

It was better when that joke was about what one banana said to another. Hats aren't as funny as a banana. Unless it's a banana shaped hat.

Bananas are funny!

Not when they're forcibly lodged up my bum though. Which isn't often fortunately.

Charlie Brooker is God to me. Ever since those amazing Computer Exchange adverts. What a guy.

I use a Mac (at home, as well) cos I don't remember how to use a PC. It used to be the other way round, before my soul was sucked out by the fun, well-paid publishing job that I do.

All Mac users are idol worshippers. They shall burn in the lake of fire come judgement day.

This is like

I'd like to ask The Banana how you insert a banana up a banana's bum.

I ended up with a sticky mess, although I'm quite used to that.
