Mac commercials in Japan


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD1igWNAgfA

i was very curious how mac did their commercials on a international bases. Here is the Japanese version of the very popular mac vs pc commercial. the characters have been changed from two white guys to two japanese men, however they wear the same outfits as before. The pc is still in his office suit, while the mac is laid back in his jeans. i was unable to understand what they were saying (no subtitles given) but the acting was a little bit funnier. I had heard from a friend that these versions were funnier than their american counterparts. it was very goofy and kept with the same type of theme (from what i could tell). it seems like it is for fighting viruses, the pc all dressed up to fight but when the mac points out something he cowers behind the mac. i thought it was nicely down and conformed to japanese culture while keeping with the american formula.
