I HATE bad commercials. Not the kinds of commercials that are funny because they are bad, like infomercials hawking the perfect pasta cooker.  No, I hate commercials that are both very misleading and incredibly tacky.

Exhibit A: Finallyfast.com. So, everyone runs across spam, adware, scareware, and Trojan horses these days, particularly with PCs. Therefore, a little program that helps remove these items to get your computer up and running again seems like a novel purchase. However, how discouraged would you be if the commercial you saw, for something like FinallyFast.com, featured computer users on Macs but come to find out that its a PC-only product? Sounds pretty shady to me. Look, I get it. Macs look better than PCs. People like the clean lines the Apple aesthetic. I get that.

But look at these two pics below. THIS IS BLATANTLY MISLEADING (and poorly executed) ADVERTISING:

So, as you’ll see in the first screenshot, the “iBook” logo is still visible. Right? OK, so that’s a problem and probably violates Apple’s copyright, but in the second screenshot, it’s gone. What’s replaced is the infamous blue screen of death. We all know the blue screen of death is the eventual result of a slow Mac trying to read shitty web mail. Oh wait, the two never go together. Ever. EVER.

What pisses me off the most about this is that not only does FinallyFast.com suspect that their customer base is full of a bunch of imbeciles (this goes without saying), they in fact take their own idiocy a step further by advertising on G4tv, which is the video game channel (for those of you who prefer to spend their days outside and not watch TV). G4 has programming for technology savvy audiences, and the G4tv audience would be the first group of people on cable television to pick up on what a horrifically bad commercial FinallyFast.com is. Literally the first group.

The folks at FinallyFast.com are just begging to get shredded to pieces by the people who can, at the very least, distinguish between Mac hardware and a PC blue screen of death, and more likely, realize what a fucking stupid product Finallyfast.com is, just based on the clowns they hired to produce the garbage commercial.

I am frankly appalled by this. Not only is it insulting to watch the commercial, but it also pisses me off to think that other people might be watching this commercial on another channel and thinking this product is for them because they recognize their computer on TV.

Oh, wait! Not so fast! FinallyFast.com makes this all-important disclaimer:

They’re saying, “Look, we know we spotlight iBooks and iMacs for the majority of the commercial, but we are obligated to tell you at the very end of the commercial that you that the software you just bought 20 seconds ago won’t actually run on your machine. But thanks for your purchase!”

I would rather deal with a slow computer than the slow-minded morons who put this together. What a disgrace.

To view the commercial in its entirety, hit up the YouTube video below. Check it out because you’ll see the iMac immediately. Ugh.
