New characters roll in to help Mac flog PC

The “Get a Mac” campaign continues to put a charming face on Apple’s anti-Microsoft crusade, which stops just short of calling Vista “the software of spammers and child molesters.” This new spot, “Yoga,” gets an added boost from the always likable Judy Greer. And while I remember her as the bearded lady from My Name Is Earl, she’s probably better known as Kitty Sanchez, the scheming and salacious personal assistant from Arrested Development. You can catch her now on ABC’s Miss Guided, a show that’s mostly just been praised for Greer’s presence in it. In case you’re wondering, the other new Mac spot, “Breakthrough,” features Corinne Bohrer. You may remember her from Veronica Mars, Joan of Arcadia and many other shows I’ve never seen.
