* NewMediaAreEvil: During the Macintosh advertisement, the Critic explains that the commercial has lived up to its claim that 1984 wasn't going to be like Creator/GeorgeOrwell's ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'', for, as we can clearly see today, no longer are people lined up like cattle for hours and hours on end! (picture of large crowds outside an Apple Store) No longer will people dress alike in cold, colorless environments! (pictures of Apple employees all wearing blue shirts, and the bland interior walls of an Apple store) No longer will any cultish-style groups gather together to honor a grand controversial leader (pictures of: 1) people wearing iPhone hats, 2) a man with the Apple logo shaved into the back of his head, and 3) Steve Jobs)! And most importantly, no longer will we be brain-dead, lifeless zombies who plug ourselves into the machine of life we can also call "The System".

* BrainBleach: In response to the Canadian PSA about not putting things in your mouth, the Critic's first reaction is to take off his glasses and rub his eyes vigorously, as if to get this painful sight out of his head.
