These ads -- while misleading -- are no more so than the Mac vs. PC ads from Apple or most other product commercials. Both rely on exploiting stereotypes, omitting the sometimes significant drawbacks while highlighting the benefits, and generally portraying the advertised product in a very positive way. That's advertising. It isn't designed to give you a balanced and fair comparison of products; it's designed to sell one company's product instead of their competitors' product by appealing to people in the target market.
Even though I was highly annoyed by the deceptive messages in the Mac vs. PC ads, they were quite funny. These aren't amusing at all, and just seem like thinly veiled Mac-bashing. (And Mac user bashing.)
