McCain Blue Screen contest: Mac vs. McCain

01:52 PM PT, Sep 11 2008

Barely Political has jumped on the McCain blue screen bandwagon with this parody of the ubiquitous Apple-PC commercials.  These jokesters have inserted a white background behind McCain to mimic the Apple spots, and mashed up McCain's acceptance speech so he sounds sort of like the personification of his own kind of computer ("I don't work!"). The video feels a little scattered overall -- like there weren't enough relevant sound bites to yoke together to fit the premise, but the idea of McCain as a talking Macintosh competitor is just weird enough to carry the thing off by itself.
