You know, watching Queer As Folk and The L Word, I don't think I've ever

[qnr]

seen a laptop that wasn't an Apple, which makes me wonder...

Is there like a "gay discount" from Apple or something?


Just kidding :)

1. Well, take a look at their old logo....

I don't think it was deliberately designed to market to the gay community, but it probably was interpreted that way by many.

[qnr]

9. That's true.. I was thinking the same could be said about the Atari

logo, with the shifting colors, but that really isn't the case.

2. Doesn't Apple have something of a hegemony in Hollywood anyway?

[qnr]

10. Yeah, I've heard that n/t

[MADem]

3. Actually, I think it is a PREMIUM CABLE SHOW discount

All you saw was Apple in SEX AND THE CITY as well...

[qnr]

11. Well, sounds like product placement to me .. Blade Runner anyone? n/t

4. good question

I have a Mac

both of ex's have Macs

maybe it is a gay thing

:)

[qnr]

12. Well, guess I'm not gay then... > 52 computers over the years and

none have been a Mac :)

20. Your 53rd could be a Mac and I'd bet you'd still be straight.

Go on. Rock your computing world. It's not like you have to fear a virus.

[qnr]

21. Ah, I just build my own, and set them up with off-beat OSes :) n/t

5. I see Macs in almost every show (gay or not)

I think product placement IS their advertisement. Notice how you see a Dell commercial every 15 minutes but never an Apple commercial. I haven't seen a legitimate commercial for Apple in over 2 years yet see a Mac as the predominate computer in nearly every show.

13. No TV, just noticed it from the Netflix DVDs we get, but I'd tend to

agree.

6. Apple seems to do a lot of product-placement.

If Apple didn't pay for that exposure, the show would probably have used a different one.

8. my buddy Rose produces "L-Word".

Apple has an exclusive with any show her company produces (mostly TV movies). Has for at least seven years.

[qnr]

17. Nice :)

I'm totally confused about QAF, we seem to have jumped from season 2 to season 4 (off-topic, but what the heck :) )

[qnr]

14. Much better advertising, in my opinion. Don't know how cost

effective it is though.

[caledesi]

7. I have Macs & a Dell, but I must say Apple is a requisite for

gays. (best friend is gay and he says all his friends have Macs).I asked him why and he said "it's an aesthetic thing." LOL!

Go figure.

[davidinalameda]

16. LOL

I made sure that my Mac didn't clash with my computer desk

[qnr]

19. I can see that. n/t

[AntiCoup2K4]

15. Seinfeld had a Mac, and he wasn't gay....

...not that there's anything wrong with that.

[qnr]

18. heheh I've had Atari's for 26 years, and think I've only played maybe

100 hours worth of video games in all that time. You never can tell.
