Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Announces He's Stepping Down to Reprise Role of PC in 'I'm a Mac and I'm a PC' Ads

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced that he would be stepping down next month to purse opportunities outside the White House and possibly reprise his role as the stuffy and businesslike PC in Apple's minimalist but popular 'Get a Mac' series of advertisements.

Transitioning from Obama Administration Press Secretary to seemingly earnest spokesman for an underwhelming product that promises little and delivers even less should be a fairly smooth transition, one advertising expert told Not Another New England Sports Blog!

Gibbs began at the White House in January 2009, while the popular Apple commercials only ran for another year. It is thought that Gibbs will reunite with his younger, more casual and hip counterpart, Mac, when the ads resume at some indeterminate point in time.

  1. Hey Fenway - or Maybe Gibbs was so successful in pushing PC's (which still hold a HUGE lead over MAC's in market share) that he's made enough dough to retire!!
