Gisele 'Get a Mac' ad surfaces

There were rumors that Gisele was set to star in a new Apple ad, but no one knew for sure. Turns out that a MacShrine reader snapped a shot of the new ad running in an Apple Store. The gist of the ad seems to be that the Mac is elegant and beautiful, like Gisele, while the PC is a cheap imitation.
The ad isn't up on Apple's site yet, but we'll let you know as soon as it is available.

With the way my iPod and 3 week old Macbook have inexplicably acquired so many battle scars, perhaps they should have casted Joan Rivers for the Mac instead.
(Yes, since it came out of the box, the Macbook has retired to a CaseLogic laptop sleeve at the end of each day.)

can't wait to see this commercial.
These commercials are great.
They are actually getting the message across.

Thats an Apple store?? Look at the state of the stuff on the ledge under the screen! It looks like a jumble sale! And why would an Apple store be using an old Cinema Display???

The stuff on the table is probably clearance stuff. They sometimes have a table like that setup at the various Apple stores around me.
I am also looking forward to these new ads. I love 'em.

@6. I'm pretty sure this photo is out the back of the shop awaiting official release when they can hang it in the actual store.

According to her official website (http://www.giselebundchen.com.br/) Gisele's name is spelt with one 'l'. No wonder I couldn't find her when I wondered 'who on eath is this woman?' :)

How did Mrtotes comment end up behind my response to his? Anyway, #6 is right. The stuff on the table are clearance items. Next time look at the whole set of photos before jumping to conclusions. (Also, that "photo" actually a projected image.)
