Images for Microsoft "I'm a PC" campaign created on Macs - but that's not the worst part

Microsoft posted images from the ad campaign on its website to "trumpet" the new "I'm a PC" byline. Turns out 4 of the images were created with "Adobe Photoshop C3 Macintosh."
Personally, I thought the new ad campaign was fairly clever. I don't know that I would have responded directly to the Mac meme (acknowledging it at all might backfire), but overall I thought it was a better campaign than anything else I have seen them do . . . . until, NO, is that Deepak Chopra?
You have to be kidding me. One of the biggest scam artists in the history of the planet is chosen to anchor the commercials? I think that was a bigger f-up than making the images with a mac. A thinly veiled snake oil salesman is "a PC"? Oh, you don't say, really. So is the brand also a smoke and mirrors front for what is truly a load of crap?
Until the Chopra part, I thought the commercials made more sense than other recent efforts, and was ready to give them credit. Now, don't get me wrong, either way, I still am not going to buy a PC or otherwise give any money to MS, but hey, credit where almost due.
