Parallels does tribute "I'm a Mac" ads
[Updated July 8, 2007] The post containing the videos has mysteriously been pulled, and there appears to be no explanation. Commenter Au Yong Chee Meng points us to Google's cache of the post, however the videos are not working there either. Attempting to view them at YouTube shows that the videos have been made private, so it appears Parallels really doesn't want these to be available any longer. Running Windows on a Mac is no longer a difficult thing to do; technology like what Parallels and VMWare now offer makes the experience virtually seamless.
Parallels has decided to take advantage of Apple's well-known and long running "I'm a Mac" commercials by creating their own versions, but in their versions Mac and PC end up getting a long. They're well produced and certainly worth a chuckle or two, but they're probably most interesting in that they are probably more true than the originals. While Windows and Mac users alike get a kick out of making fun of PC, the truth is that both operating systems are useful, and it's extremely useful to be able to use them at the same time, on the same machine.
Kudos to Parallels for making some fun at nobody's expense; everybody wins.

wasn't Parallels the program that (unintentionally) was going to let you run OSX on a PC?

Why are these videos private? They won't play for me unless I respond to a "friend request"?

NO Parallels is that program that Runs Windows on the Mac better than most PCs.

And.... even the google cached version refuses to play....
I fail to see why these videos should have been locked? Parody is not a copyright violation!
