So long "Mac Guy!" Apple Ends Contract With Trendy Hipster

I don't own a Mac, however I had been enjoying the Mac Guy/PC Guy commercials Apple was putting out there. Had been--yes past tense, as Justin Long the Mac Guy, was fired yesterday. It was fun while it lasted. I've been a Justin Long fan since his days on the sitcom, "Ed." I thought the Mac commercials were witty, unique and simply did what they were intended to do: show that a Mac had advantages over a PC. Who will step in and fill Justins shoes...Gisele Bundcnhen?

Alas, I am alone in this thinking since Justin Long was fired today due to the public's keeness for PC Guy. Justin's firing got me thinking of commercial "characters" that have disappeared once the public got bored with them such as the Dell dude, and it appears I am not the only one thinking about this today.

What did you think of the "Get a Mac" commercials with PC Guy and Mac Guy?
