Apple Pulls Controversial 'Convince Your Parents' Mac Ad

Apple quietly removed its YouTube ad, "The Parent Presentation," designed to help college students convince their parents to buy them a Mac. The ad, a customizable slideshow downloadable in PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides, was briefly promoted on Apple's website and YouTube. Its sudden removal, however, follows some negative online feedback describing the ad as cringeworthy or off-putting. The reason for its removal remains unclear.
