I was rolling... "The Power to Crush the Other Kids"  ohmygawd... hahaha!

It was done impeccably in the style of every Mac "boardroom" commercial
I've seen.  They must have watched a ton to get it right.  The backwards
Apple logo was priceless, too.

Their other fake ad was a cute, if silly, "Happy Fun Ball!"  ("Happy Fun
Ball contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be
touched, inhaled, or looked at." "Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly,
and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball."
"Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball")  Heh heh heh...
