Why do PC users hate Mac users? Is it the Mac people’s smug self-righteous attitude that they must know better than 95% of the computer users?

Among the glut of disgusting, terrible, greed-inspired, cash-in-on-Christmas commercials that have reached an all time low, there is the occasional highlight. This one tickled my funnybone.
