Well is the funniness yet I have to say but got milk? In all the world what happen to the old fashion way of getting the milk out of the breast any way.
I think just needs a got of batteries and ear plugs the sound is loud and very noisy. And this...
I just watched this television ad for the medela breast pump. I have to say that if I were new to Epinions I would think this place was a total joke and I probably would never come back.
I cannot believe what I saw. This woman filling a...
This is the first time that I have watched an ad on epinions. I am fairly new to this site and someone told me about the ad. It's too bad that it's not on television. I just love this ad! You don't see too many pumping moms in advertising these days....
Pros: very frank, shows opinions from those who really know the products Cons: unsettling to some
I absolutely can't believe some of the comments I'm reading. This ad is being called disgusting? Coming from members of a society that likes to watch movies with people getting their faces kicked in by Wesley Snipes, and mobsters taking bullets in the...
I think it's pretty cool. She really seemed to believe in the product. And the part where she hands the pump to the delivery guy, I definately know how he must have felt. The cat part was pretty wierd.
Overall though, I feel that she did a good job...
There are better and more effective pumps on the market. This pump is underpowered thus making it slow. It can't double pump and is loud. Although the battery model has its uses, the Rochelle Enterprises Breast Pump model "Pump Perfect" can be...
Pros: Awesome product, I'd take one...if I had a child, that is... Cons: Change the name, it throws people off.
All right, now I think I've seen it all. A BREAST PUMP?!?! OK, so the name in itself is what caught my attention, but, titles are usually deceiving. I do have to admit, that, given the right advertising, this product would be popular. Every nursing...
Pros: Yes, it was tastefully done! And funny, too! Cons: The noise of the pump made it difficult to hear
This review is written as a rebuttal, so to speak, to the reviews branding this ad as distasteful, disgusting, and gross. I read and rated a few different opinions, and felt compelled to comment. But with all that I want to say, I guess I ought to put...
Pros: Could be used for brain-washing enemy species Cons: It gave me nightmares and scares innocent kittens
It was a quiet day in the galaxy. I was lounging lazily with the Emperor of the planet Cheddar IV and we were playing checkers. I was letting him win. The television had nothing interesting on despite constant channel surfing – all 183,294 channels from...
Pros: It shown the kind of information that can be found at e-pinions. Cons: The camera was a little shaky.
When my son was a newborn I tried many brands of breast pumps. I like the way this commercial answered the questions I had about this brand of breast pump. She demonstrated the features of the pump very well. I like that she pointed out that it took...
Pros: Eye catching, touches on taboo subject Cons: Not necessarily a respectful take on motherhood
Mr. Bun Bun is not completely sure what to think about the "Breast Pump" commercial. It certainly does grab the audience's attention and it seems that the woman critiquing the "breast pump" is not in it for gags. I appreciate the...
Pros: Funny, has shock value, is different and bold. Cons: Will not go over well with most people...
Picture this...A nursing mom sitting on her couch with a strange looking contraption attached to one breast. There is a rather loud noise emitting from the object and it appears that milk is beginning to fill the container attached to it. This is how...
Pros: The Medula pump works great...not that you could tell from the commercial Cons: The commercial doesn't do it justice. The Medula is hard to transport to and from work...is bulky
OK, this "commercial" is a waste of time. To think that someone would see this commercial and actually say "Hey, that product looks good, I think I'll use it"...is ridiculous. First of all, the pump could not be seen. What we see...
Pros: no actual nudity Cons: no The lack of vital information on the product, the unsanitary handling of breast milk.
This was a definite case of poor judgment. There was no actual information on the breast-pump, where to get one, how much was it, how to properly use. Then the thing was vibrating like it had energizer D size batteries in it, as in a personal toy. ...
Pros: Took more nerve that I have! Cons: Almost no info on the product and included scenes that were highly inappropriate
I just finished watching this commercial review for the first time (yeah, I am a bit slow at joining the rest of ya but hey…what can I say) and I must admit that it made even me, the stoic liberal type of wench that I am, just kinda shake my head. ...
I think thats what this website could do without. Whos to say that we should cover certain areas and products in reviews and commercials but should leave others out, because even though they are helpful they might make someone *shutter* in disbelief?...
Pros: The things she says are just plain funny! Cons: I can't find one.
WOW! I haven't seen such a big leap since John Rocker decided to voice his opinion. Well this lady is voicing her opinion, and I almost wish it was about all of the foreigners. I had never even seen a breast pump before. Not something I try to think...
Pros: interesting subject matter, did good job explaining features/benefits Cons: could have conveyed everything without the demonstration
When I clicked on the ad for the Medela Mini Electric Breast Pump, I did it mainly for the curiosity factor. The first thing I heard from my RealPlayer was the loud humming from the breast pump. I don't know if all breast pumps are this loud, but I...
Pros: Well done, has class and humor. Cons: Product is noisy, awkward and not as easy as is suggested.
Jen,
This is really the funniest commercial for breast pumps I've ever seen! You really did a great job!!! You didn't intend it but your demo shows how loud, difficult to hold and place and uncomfortable such battery electric pumps really are...
Pros: Spreads the word about epinions.com Cons: Commercial is being boycotted
I really like the new commercial, even though it has yet to be shown in the Tampa Bay area. I think it does what it is meant to do, it makes for good conversation.
Last week my in-laws who live in Boston said to my husband on the phone,...
Pros: every nursing woman needs one Cons: Too much info!
while I agree that the promise of ease of use is a good thing, but did we have to see the gawking pizza delivery guy? I think testimonials from users of the product is also a good thing, but to graphically display use of the system left me with the...
Pros: It's about time we showed what's right about our society on TV. Cons: NONE
Shame on everyone that can't deal with this ad. Pre-marital sex runs rampant on our TV's. Something that we teach our kids is wrong. But when something as natural and healthy as breastfeeding is shown on TV, we think the Devil has brought evil to the...
So Epinions.com has this commercial..... I have heard much controversy over this one little ad about a breast pump. I watched it and I ask...WHY NOT?? If prime time television can show boobs and even worse things... why can't this girl demonstrate how...
Pros: Consumer ed Cons: Some may prefer breasts to be viewed only as an object of erotica
Why not? Certainly this is uncomfortable for some, but we see a lot more "breast action" on prime time TV shows. A breast pump is a consumer item as is clothing, personal hygiene items, undergarments, or baby formula. Handing the bottle to...
Pros: Great Details on a Breast Pump Cons: Poor Poor advertising
I watched this commercial after reading a friends epinion on it. I thought that it was hilarious. Not that the woman was doing an epinion on a breast pump but at the quality of the commercial. How terrible. I seriously do not believe that after seeing...
Pros: the concept of breast pumps being easy to use Cons: the cat and the pizza man
I have no problem with the idea of an add for a breast pump. Commercials for breast pumps would greatly add to idea that this is a do-able thing. I am beyond totally breastfeeding friendly so keep that in mind.
Pros: realistic, funny, Cons: not for the easily offended
For those who haven't seen the comercial - a woman goes about her business -- petting her cat, watching TV, even getting a Pizza from the delivery boy --- all while using a breast pump.
This was the wrong product to use the "deadpan" approach for. There was nothing funny, witty, or interesting about this commercial. In addition, this is a commercial that most people are just going to flick the channel once they see. This is...
Pros: attempts to deal with the subject of breast feeding Cons: inappropriate, disturbing
As much as I'm a feminist who would like to see breast feeding in public accepted practice in the US, I believe that this is not appropriate for advertising to a general audience. The general public is not ready to watch a woman express breast milk into...
Pros: Weirdos will love it Cons: Tacky Demonstration
Sorry folks, but I think Jen's breast pump commercial is a little tacky. There are some things that people don't need to demonstrate. The public can get the message without the visual details. I think this type of thing will just attract the weirdos....
Pros: Draws attention Cons: Not the "right" kind of attention!
Skeeved me. I could just smell the "hey, this will draw attention!" that must have gone on before selecting this as a contender. No, siree, this one's just too obviously a ploy to be controversial.
Maybe epinions wanted to do something to generate interest. Nothing generates interest like controversy. I am assuming that is the case with the breast pump commercial. Epinions should have known that these commercials would not play well in middle...
Pros: light-hearted, funny Cons: may offend the less intelligent people
I think it's about time we air commercials that depict women using their breasts for what they were intended to be used for rather than to sell beer or shampoo. This commercial is cute and funny and it sends a positive message to the public. The...
This commercial really made me laugh out loud. My roommate was wondering what was so funny so I told him about your commercial,fortunately he got to see it the other day, he completely agreed with me that it is the best advertisement on TV.
I would...
Pros: Encourages Breastfeeding! Cons: close-minded people may be offended!
I wanted to commend you for this commercial! I think it is wonderful that someone had the guts to do it! I would love to see more commercials that encourage all aspects of breastfeeding, and this commercial, even though it was for the website, did just...
This is not an explicit commercial. Less skin is shown than in the typical TV ad. There is nothing suggestive or crude about it. You see Mom discreetly using a product that helps her give her baby the best possible food, without much hassle or fuss....
This ad is ridiculous! How many people would actually hand a breast pump filled with milk to a pizza deliveryman while she gathers the money owed? I had to laugh at this ad; I don’t see where this ad would bring more people to Epinions. I feel that...
Pros: tastefully done, funny, honest Cons: sensitivity of product's nature
I was amazed to see how tastefully done this is. As a Mom of three nursed (two weened) children, I've seen some appallingly exposing commercials, etc on nursing care products (in hospitals, Dr offices). But Jen did a good job of demonstrating the use...
There's nothing offensive here. Breastfeeding is a natural process that should be supported for all mothers & babies. I'd much rather see this than a formula company ad - or another baby bottle commercial claiming to be "most like mother...
Pros: Shows the function of the pump Cons: Some viewers may not like it.
I can say that this is a very bold step to take when it comes to advertising breast pumps. Medela (the brand of the breast pump) has the guts to do it. I mean how often do you see ads that make bold statements.
Pros: shows how great medela is, but I wouldn't want to log on because I already knew that Cons: make this a demonstration of how much better it is than other brands and you may have something, that would make me logon to epinions
Now that would be a breast pump commercial I'd want to watch. That would be a commercial that would want to make go online and see what epinions is all about.
This ad makes me think epinions has something to hide and they have to use hype and...
Pros: Got everyone's attention! Cons: Made everyone disgusted!
I truly resent and am disgusted over Eopinions running the TV commercial for the breast pump. I myself breast fed and utilized a breast pump. I don't feel that advertising the breast pump is wrong, but the manner in which it was done was out of taste....
Pros: showed the proper way to use the reviewed item, makes a good instructional video Cons: it was too blatant, the scene with the cat sickened me, I didn't think it was appropriate for prime-time TV
I never really liked milk to begin with, so now that I've decided to stop drinking it completely after seeing this commercial aired last night, I suppose I won't be missing much. This was certainly an eye-opening commercial, I will give it that; but it...
Pros: It reaches your target audience Cons: The rest of the public is kind of disgusted by it.
I must begin by stating that I am not a prude, I am not religious, nor am I conservative or uptight in any way. And that is why I think you should give weight to my opinion about this commercial. It is a real turn off! I don't think that it will get...
Pros: Excellent product manufacturer (Medela) Cons: "feeling like a cow"????
Formula is an 8 BILLION dollar a year industry that is responsible for causing illness and death in thousands of babies each year. I was SO glad to see a Medela (muh DEE luh) product ad! Finally someone gets it! Thousands of women pump milk and...
All I can say is HOORAY for all the breastfeeding moms out there!! It's about time they get the recognition they so deserve. As a soon to be breastfeeding mom myself, this is truly a breakthrough in the stigmatism that surrounds breastfeeding. The...
It's OK to see men's nipples, as they are not connected to round mounds of flesh. We can see the butts of all the men on NYPD Blue, some of which are just round mounds of flesh. But, we can't see a woman demonstrating a breast pump? There is much...
Although I applaud mothers who breastfeed their children, I thought the commercial was in poor taste. It seemed to rely much more on "gross out" factor than actual facts. The kitty and pizzaman appearances were way over the top, and took away...
Pros: None Really Cons: Could do without a demonstration!
I have read several reviews on the commercial for epinions with the woman demonstrating the breast pump. Finally curiosity got the best of me and I had to go see for myself what all the hype was about.
Pros: Concise, understandable, different Cons: A little too earthy
And so does anything freaky, deaky or odd. I have mixed feelings about this commercial, mostly because I've been there, and it brings back horrifying breast pump memories, but I think it does a great job of catching and keeping the attention, and the...
Pros: Good for a laugh Cons: sound quality terrible
Right now I am sitting here laughing my butt off.........
There is just something very rude about watching a women pumping her breast for milk and talking about milking a cow. The sounds of vibrating and hearing her laughing made this commercial...
Pros: Women need to be aware of their options for nursing, might reach people without access to lactation consultants, might make breastfeeding less sensitive subject Cons: No reference to lactation consultant or more product information.
You must be kidding. Someone refused to air this AD? There is no skin showing, she didn't use any words that are on the FCC dirty words list, and the product is not "morally objectionable". She didn't even say "booby". Even ol'...
Pros: Good for her child, Good for teaching others! Cons: Negative epinioners'
I thought this commercial was wonderful. I did not focus on the moral/ethical aspects of this commercial. I think must of us who have seen this are all adults and this is great for future moms. We need to get over this fascade of hiding behind issues,...
Now, I have nothing against a breast pump being reviewed on TV,in fact it could be an eye opening experience. My problem is that it was portrayed in a very unclean light. Yes,her breast was covered,but I'm not talking about that,this woman managed to do...
Pros: Made me want to check out Epinion.com Cons: Also made me want to lose my dinner.
This is the second Epinion commercial I've seen, the first being the snowboarder which I thoroughly enjoyed. To be frank, I found the breast-pump commercial appalling. As a woman in her child-bearing years I can say yes, this is a necessary product. Yes,...
I have no doubt that this is a good product. I also believe that it is important for mothers, if possible, to breast feed their babies. I think that most of America will agree that breast feeding is the preferred method of feeding your babies. That...
Pros: Wonderful originality, shows exactly what Epinions.com is all about Cons: Taken in context, I see no cons.
I've been noticing all of this hub bub regarding the breast pump TV ad for Epinions. After reading through quite a bit of reviews on the subject, I couldn't imagine what was so awful about this commercial! So, I finally broke down and downloaded the...
I am a mother of two. I breast fed both my children for eight months. I think it is the best thing for a baby. However, I do not want to see a woman using a breast pump on TV. Breast feeding is one thing, pumping ones breast in public is another. As...
Pros: It is informative Cons: It may not need to be as revealing
Not airing an ad that has to do with one of the most natural things on this Earth is just ridiculous! Just because some people are uncomfortable with seeing some things does not make it wrong. Did you know that it is illeagle to say something to a woman...
Pros: effective because it shows a product that's hard to get info on Cons: could not get sound on realplayer, ad not running in my area
If I had seen this ad the week I went back to work after maternity leave I would have been on the site in a FLASH! Real useful info on breast pumps was very hard to find on the web or anywhere. I wish this ad was running in my area (NYC). Maybe it would...
Pros: None Cons: This does not Belong on Television
This was the dumbest idea that I have heard of.
First of all if a woman needs to know how to operate a breast pump or anything about breast feeding, she should not have to learn it from the television .
I don't know who at epinions com let this...
Pros: Funny, attention getting, drew some well-deserved attention to Epinions Cons: none
I am pretty irritated at the moment and don't know quite where to begin. In a day and age where someone shows their naked backside, people sleeping with anyone and everyone, and watch a television mobster go on a killing spree, you would think we could...
There are lactation specialists and classes at most local hospitals, La Leche Leagues in practically every town and learning how to use a breast pump should be done in the privacy of your own home, not in a TV commercial!
Pros: Helps people realize what is best Cons: None
I think that advertising a breast pump is absolutely wonderful! Overall, a mom needs to make the best decision for baby AND her, but I think that breastfeeding should be given a chance by more moms. Advertising a product like this will give pregnant...
Pros: Excellent video,very well done, explains the product well. Cons: The ignorant people who have pulled this commercial
I was thoroughly appalled when I got the e-mail from Epinions that Fox, ABC, and NBC had pulled this commercial.
My immediate reaction was to just go ahead a write an opinion without watching the video first, then thought there just might be some...
I cannot believe that in our society today that everyone is not a lot more open minded! When I think about all the commercials that I sit through that show women's bodies - very up close and personal - I think this is VERY tame!
Pros: advertising a good cause Cons: poorly done to the point of being comical rather than serious
I've read reviews of this commercial and it seems that some of them are focusing on the actual product rather than the commercial. Per the epinion commercial guidelines, it says "Focus on the commercial not broader issues," so that is what my...
Pros: Gives Breastfeeding mothers support, Shows the "real world", Has good shock value to bring people to this site Cons: None, Except the fact that some stations won't air it!
I personally love the commercial! I'm a mom who has been breastfeeding for 22 months now, and it's about time that we get some recognition! I know that part of the reason Epinions aired the commercial was for the shock value, to get people to come to the...
Pros: Real ad about real situations for real people Cons: Bad production values
I can find nothing offensive in the content of this ad. No breasts are shown (not that I consider them offensive, but the general social contract says they can't be shown). The cat's involvement has been much overplayed in some of the reviews, I hardly...
Maybe I'm too young, or maybe it's the fact my mother didn't talk about "womenly" issues in front of men, but I find this add disturbing. Personally, (and I mean just me personally) I find this more disturbing than the iMac ad. As an adult, I...
Pros: Nothing Cons: Too narrow of a target viewer base, too trendy
I didn't like this commercial, I am not even sure who the target audience is. The subject matter couldn't possibly be appealing to the average viewer. With all the sexually-oriented or similar "taboo"-related commercials in existence, it...
Pros: the commercial is what Epinions is all about Cons: there are ignorant "breastaphobic" network execs
I just read Epinions, breast pumps, and censorship by: Mike Speiser
http://webmommy.epinions.com/tvad-review-521A-5E76841-38D7B968-prod1
and was disappointed to read about networks pulling the spot featuring the Medela...
Pros: Educates parents in ways to continue breastfeeding when mother is separated from baby Cons: None
This is an honest explanation by a nursing mother of what it is like to pump and feed her baby expressed milk. It's often the only way mothers (especially in the paid work force) can feed their baby breast milk. Breast milk is totally natural - God's and...
Its about time breastfeeding, and breastfeeding preparation was shown publicly! I am saddened to live in the city of oen of the Television stations that pulled the commercial, and am even more saddened that public outcry would result in the commercial's...
Finally, a positive commercial on breastfeeding! As the Mother of a daughter, 28 months old, that I still nurse, twice a day, I enjoyed this VERY much!
Breastfeeding should be on TV more, for it is a natural, normal, part of life! Breast...
Pros: It is for Epinions.com, so it's got to be worth something Cons: There's a few of them
I can see a great debate arising over this commercial. Looking at the statistics, I see that this one is about fifty/fifty--that is half of those who have rated this commercial like it, the other half do not.
Pros: Thoughtful review Cons: lacked taste for all audiences
Absolutely not! I do not believe that there should be any kind of even suggestive material going on the T.V. about Epinions. I realize that as a teacher of small children who do watch T.V, I am concerned about their welfare. Some might joke about it and...
Pros: Being a parent is really like this. Cons: The 18-24 year old demographic won't get it.
This ad made me laugh out loud. Folks without children might not appreciate it as much, but recent parents will immediately respond to the way in which the reviewer seems oblivious to the ridiculousness of her situation.
Pros: Shock Value gets free publicity Cons: Not for the entire viewing public
The commercials for Epinions.com are certainly different from most other commercials that we generally “tune out” of our minds, or channel surf through… I have actually only seen two… The guy in the tent going through the car-wash (Great Commercial),...
I am far from a prude. However, this commercial was the most disgusting and offensive ad ever. I have nursed, I have pumped, I have felt all the feelings she expressed, however sharing it with every tv viewer in the usa is beyond the limits....take it...
Pros: good product Cons: might cause some controversy
I'm sure a guy made this product right? Maybe not guys probably think it's cool to see women breast feed in public. Well here's the solution to all of the women that are embarrased or that get harrassed in public for breast feeding their children. That...
Pros: different feel, real feel Cons: not very professional production
NO one asked me how I feel. This commercial takes a first-person look at the product. Is it nonconventional? Yes, perhaps this is the route that the marketing strategy must take. How can a woman explaining a product offend to such a degree? It does...
Pros: That it finally came to an end. Cons: The whole thing...what were you people thinking?!
This commercial was the most horrendous thirty seconds of commercial time i've ever endured in my life. For you people to allow a woman to attach her breasts to a pump on prime time television while her cat licks her, and for her to be opining of how...
Pros: It a benificial way to save milk for your child while your away. Cons: It takes 20 minutes on each side
I speak from experience that it does make you feel like a dairy cow. When ever i nurse or pump i feel like my own dairy. What she didnt say was that we mothers go through a lot to give our babies the best and this is why we become Dairy Cows. Even...
Pros: funny and sticks to your ribs Cons: So this is the only woman for your commercials?
Censored in the good ol' US of A. This country sucks... we are treated like children and we have no opinions...Thank God for the Internet.... (3~22 I heard this commercial was censored last night on ZDTV)
Pros: Great item for when you are unable to feed you child yourself. Cons: Should not be used all of the time.
I did not find this commercial on breast pumps too great. It did not really inform you of exactly what you would want it for. I would never compare the feeding of my child to a cow. Breast feeding is one of the most healthiest thing that you can do...
Pros: Created with good taste Cons: The sound is not good
I found this to be a cute commercial. It was done with taste, no nudity and in a sort of funny manner. I really liked the use of the cat. Lets face it, that is nature and babies have to be fed.
Pros: Good original review Cons: Gross, Made me zound up my lunch, Made me not want to go to Epinions, boring when it's not gross, Opressive towards Pizzapeople and Cats
I think this ad made me ZOUND up all my food. This ad is just gross, and while it may get people to notice the ad itself, I think the ad is the weakest of the 4 at getting people to join Epinions.
I remember seeing the still image for the commercial and thinking, "You've got to be kidding..." But a quick click-and-load of the Realplayer ditty left me - first with my jaw dropped down to my keyboard - then busting out laughing as I...
Pros: Catches you attention, Pizza man adds comical releif Cons: I wouldn't want to watch this is my mother in the room.
Epinions.com has made a great step in the great job they are doing by making commercials. Commercials will make epinions.com more popular and will invite more people to come and share their opinions and help people to make decisions. This will...
Pros: It certainly gets your attention Cons: Not appropriate for all audiences; certainly more than I wanted to see..
...it certainly wasn't something I needed to see.
I agree with other reviewers who stated that breast feeding isn't sexual or obscene. BUT.. there are somethings I just don't want to see on TV at 9pm at night when I'm settling down to watch a...
Pros: None Cons: Not an very good topic for a commercial
This is not one for prime time. I think showing a woman using a breast pump may be a little too much for some viewers. (I would consider anything dealing with basic bodily functions worth thinking twice about. This includes any hygiene product.) ...
This is the only commercial of its type that I have ever seen. Breastfeeding is not widely advertised. Although you'll see a few commercials in a day on giving baby formulas. There's absolutely nothing nasty or dirty about her pumping her milk. She...
Pros: at least they're getting out there Cons: difficult to watch, uninformative
The idea is cute, but the execution really leaves something to be desired. These commercials can have reviewers in them, but they really need to do a better job of conveying the idea of epinions - that you can earn money and learn about everything from...
Pros: Funny, peaks interest Cons: Wasn't really accurate or informative
I kind of shook my head at this ad. I did laugh at it a couple times. I really don't have a problem with this ad, except I don't think it is that helpful or informative. If you're going to advertise a breast pump, it should be done accurately and...
Pros: Shows breastfeeding, shows an average woman (not skinny supermodel) Cons: None
I think it's absurd that anyone can object to this commercial, yet support one that uses scantily clad women practically baring their breasts in a sexual sense (and there are a lot of those commercials out there). This is nature, a woman demonstrating...
Pros: Could see and hear the actual product Cons: none
This was so funny! I could have done without seeing her stick it to her breast. LOL
I know as a mother that breast all 3 of her kids I would love to have seen this. It would have been very helpful. I had the hardest time finding one that...
An outstanding message and presentation of what Epinions is or should be all about: honest, real, totally credible. It's just beautiful. This is a guy talking. The ad defines Epinions.com as the place to go for what people really want to know. It's not...
Pros: Very useful, informative, and helpful Cons: Maybe a little more eye contact with the camera?
I recently watched all four of the commercial reviews that are currently on Epinions site. I have to say this commercial (about the Breast Pump) is the best one of them all from both: my views as a consumer and my views as a Epinions reviewer on...
Pros: the breast pump sounds like a chainsaw Cons: what is our audience?
The opening shot will definitely secure a certain sector of the American public and that is fantastic! There need to be more women fondling their breasts while attaching loud electric objects to themselves out in public!
Pros: delicate subject handled with dignity. Great comic twists. Cons: I really don't see any.
This one is a stroke of genius. It's the small twists that make it great. The cat looking longingly at the bottle. The pizza man with his quizzical look as he holds the pump. Absolute genius!
Pros: Strange but interesting Cons: Rambles on and on
I first saw this commercial on TV last night and it kept me entertained. I couldn't figure out what was really going on and why this woman would be talking about a breast pump on TV. That was what kept me watching. I thought it was rather wacky after I...
We all know now that breast milk is the healthiest diet for a baby. Breast milk is digested in 20 minutes, whereas formula takes up to 4 hours. Breast milk also has natural antibodies that protect a baby against illness, it also has healthy cholesterol...
Pros: Breakthrough commercial--hopefully we will see more lactation-orientated products advertised Cons: Might be a bit too much for some people :-D
Hmmmmm....a breast pump ad can cause quite a ruckus! The issue, I suppose, is not the pump per se, but rather the continuation of male dominance in our society. Truly, what is the difference between male and female mammary glands? Superficial...
Pros: can't think of any Cons: poor image of women (dairy cow?!)
Giving an opinion on the breast pump is one thing...demonstrating it is another. Please do we really need this? What's next? Is someone going to demonstrate the softness of a certain type of toilet paper and how it doesn't scratch private parts? Make the...
I was watching television with my 9 year old son and was frozen when it came on. I immediately looked at the channel to see if it was either a joke or a cable channel.
I found the commercial totally offensive. This is not the forum, time of...
First turn that thing on after her welcome. It looked more like a run away drill. She did not look like she knew the product well enough and kept trying to tame it down a bit. Again the noise of the machine was overbearing. It needs more class and...
This commercial is a very unique commercial. I was drawn to it because of the subject matter, as I'm sure many other people were. I was confused as to exactly what this was, but the commercial cleared everything right up. As for the subject of the...
This commercial is not really that bad, first I thought it was some fat lady playing with her breast, but after the commercial I didn't think so anymore, because by using that "thing" it actually will help some of the women in this busy world...
Pros: Heightened awareness about the practicalities of motherhood Cons: People are frightened by breasts in . . . um. . "unfamiliar" settings.
Notes:
--This opinion was written in response to zobovor's fine piece, "Milk! It Does A Baby (and Kitty, and Pizza Hut) Good!"
--I am, proudly, an employee of Epinions.com. This my personal opinion however, and does not represent...
Pros: innovative, supports breastfeeding Cons: the cat, no baby, may offend quite a few
I am quite frankly unsure what to think of the breastpump ad. I do know I agree with those reviewers who have said, if you air it, do it during daytime hours.
I do admire this lady, Jen, for having the gumption to do this advertisement....
Pros: good topic Cons: doesn't look well organized
I am glad to see that Epinions has chosen this topic for one of their commercials. It's nice to see that Nursing is no longer considered a "dirty" thing. However, I don't think the general public will view this in quite the same way....
Pros: Great for breastfeeding advocacy Cons: Shock value elements not realistic
I first heard about this commercial through a breastfeeding advocacy
forum that I frequent. I am a nursing working mom currently pumping for my
14 month toddler.
I thought this commercial had all the elements of an effective ad -...
This was absolutely gross... come on!! Esp with the cat and the pizza boy give me a break... Whose idea was this!! I am actually amazed and shocked that this ad made it on t.v. I'll tell you what this commercial did do, besides gross me out- made me want...
Pros: Perplexing then shockingly funny! Cons: None... please pass the milk.
Yes!!! Two thumbs up for this commercial! I awoke one morning in Austin, Texas ..stumbling to the TV(A ritual thing for me) to check out our morning line up of Sensational Court TV shows... then in a half groggy gaze I see this commercial from...
Pros: couldn't find any Cons: Not Epinionated Enough!!!
So, there she is sitting on her couch pumping Breast Milk! I just felt she didn't give her epinion on the pump itself! She was quiet and complacent. Epinions is a place to tell people what you think! I didn't even hear the name of the product, it was...
Pros: honest view of the personal breast pump, funny, works to break down the social barriers of breastfeeding Cons: the poor pizza guy...
BRAVO Epinions.Com! I think the ad was great! You did a great job with it. Her recommendations and comments were well rounded. And yes it may turn some people off, but I don't think many. You are helping to break down the social barriers of...
Pros: you're on tv Cons: doesnt convey quality of epinions
sorry--but saw this last night and did not like it all all. It's not the subject - I'm a woman, belive in breast feeding--the whole nine...but this reeked of here's a .com trying to break out with shock value. People are too distracted with "did...
Pros: All good, funny, positive, excellent, educates. Cons: none
This is a great commercial. It really proves that this pump works and is easy to use. There should be more positive commercials out there to sell a product while educating the public. Most women give up breastfeeding or don't breastfeed at all because...
I think the Medela Mini Electric Breastpump is great! I think it is perfect for a mom who works part-time, or who just wants a night out with her hubby. It is easily portable, easy to clean, and very lightweight. You could easily carry it in a purse...
Pros: amusing ad Cons: obviously conceived for "shock" value
Breast-feeding is NOT about sex! Breast-feeding is NOT obscene! Breast-feeding is NOT something you need to shield your children from! If you can't stand to have your kid be aware of the realities of mammalian life, you need to think about that. ...
Pros: helps position epinions as a tasteless brand Cons: required switching television to a different channel to avoid
This ad was tasteless, not interesting, inappropriate, and not something I want to see in my living room. I am really really really NOT interested in watching a woman suck milk out of her breast. The second time it was shown, I recognized it in the first...
Pros: I think breast pumps are wonderful and helpful gadgets Cons: I don't think it should be demonstrated on tv!!
I'm sure this is a good product, Lord knows a breast pump came in handy for me years ago, but does this commercial have to run on early prime time tv while my boys and their friends were watching tv??!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when it came on!!! Then...
Pros: shows ease of use of the product Cons: written in disturingly bad taste
There are no movie commercials in existence that don't feature a few scenes from the film. You don't make an ad for a dish soap without showing how well it washes dishes. Therefore, a commercial for a breast pump will, only naturally, show the pump in...
Pros: The epinion was good. Conveyed what epinions.com is all about. Cons: Inappropriate subject matter.
Specific points to consider in your review:
*Focus on the commercial not broader issues.
This is one of two guidelines epinions.com provided to anyone choosing to write a review on this commercial. In this case, I do not think this is a...
Pros: NONE Cons: Annoying, horrible, not very sensible, in bad taste
I just seen this commercial for the first time about 15 min ago on tv. and I must say, it was horrible to sit and watch. I am a mother of 5 children and breast fed two, I don't need to actually see someone using a breast pump to decide if I want to buy...
Pros: ---- Cons: Commercial - bad taste in my opinion
I just saw the commerical on prime-time television regarding the Medela Mini Electric "breast pump" advertising epinions.com and found it, in my opinion, unprofessional, embarrassing and appalling.
While reviewing all the Epinions television commercials, a thought suddenly occurred to me: have we, the Epinions members, been accidentally offered an unbalanced view in these four commercials? Think about it: reviews from three men and...
Pros: Shows how effective the Medela Pump is.... Cons: What was that web site she was talking about?
Man, that breast pump sure works well! I nearly filled a relief bottle myself just listening to it drone through the commercial and I haven't nursed in eight years!
Pros: Featured a very taboo, but necessary product to review Cons: Done is poor taste. More for shock value than education the viewer about Epinion
When I saw the title of this commercial and what it was about, I was really excited. I am one the most PRO breastfeeding person that I know in my "real" life. I support breastfeeding well into the toddler and preschool ages, and I personally...
Pros: Getting better, but not great. Cons: BUZZZZZZZZZ noise.
This ad was not quite as dumb or tasteless as the tent ad or the shooting gallery ad, which is not saying a whole lot. But at least they were moving in the right direction. The woman is not hard to look at, but still looks like a "regular"...
Pros: Grabs attention, word will get around Cons: Some may find it disturbing
Personally, I liked this commercial. First I was thinking "She's not really using that, is she??" Then, Lo and behold, I found out she was. To some people, watching this may be disturbing, while others just see it as natural. The addition of...
Pros: Helps us keep abreast of such items. Cons: Better not be a pepperoni pizza she ordered or the kid will be up all night.
This is something I would expect to find on FOX TV: a girl named Jen demonstrating the Medela Mini Electric Breast Pump. Woh yeah. "Best thing for my daughter," she says. Yeah, and apparently the cat, too.
Pros: nice lady in it Cons: noise quality of pump, it seems more like selling the product not Epinions
I am not sure about this commercial to be very honest.
I would probably start channel surfing if this commercial came on.
Anything to do with female products just isn't my idea of a good commercial. It is embarrassing for me, the mother....
Pros: Clever, ground-breaking ads, funny situations Cons: Females at home, males having fun; no seniors; no minorities/immigrants in important roles
This was my least favorite Epinions ad. It seemed long, and I was bored before it was over. The Epinionator/actress was just so genuine and attractive, like the stars of the other commercials. (Good work, guys! and gal!) But, after I got over the...
Pros: none Cons: breastfeeding, the milk coming out
To be honest. If I saw this commercial, I would turn the channel.
Pumping milk for your baby is private or at least private in your own family dwelling. I don't care to see some woman talking about her breast milk or doing it in front of me. ...
Pros: funny, quirky, attention-getting Cons: possibly too "adult" for some viewers
The look on the pizza delivery fellow's face is priceless! This ad may be pushing the envelope a bit for broadcast television, since some peculiarly prudish types don't want to think about the ability of female humans to make milk. My guess is that...
Pros: Funny as hell, I would visit the site after seeing it Cons: might be offensive
This is a hilarious commercial, but once again epinions.com may be pushing it. It is hilarious but some people( even though I dont) ould take offense from this commercial. It is hilarious and will attract a good number of people probably the most of any...
Pros: funny, grabs your attention, effective Cons: cat scene needs to be redone
Yep, I think this one's my favorite. I think this one gets the message across best. I like the fact that epinions is mentioned at the beginning of the commercial, because it explains the purpose of the commercial and focuses on the site, rather than...
Pros: Sounds like a power tool! Cons: Power tools wern't ment for use on the human body
Doggies! I've seen everything now! Is that a Wagner Power Painter bein operated in reverse or what?! What will these enterprisin' breastfeeders think of next? The thing's louder than my Eager Beaver Chain saw!
Pros: funny pizza guy Cons: questionable subject matter
I'll take "Stuff I Really Didn't Need To See" for 500, Alex! Breast pumps in action to advertise a website? Well, that's taking advertising to an interesting level...
This is actually a pretty well done commercial, although I am...
Pros: interesting, wacky, fun Cons: none that I thought
Well unlike some of your reviewers, I found this commercial to be entertaining, a little off the wall, and decidedly funny. Although some have felt that it is crude and "not accurate" in describing how Epinions works, I think that it does...
Pros: Breast pumps are a wonderful invention, just don't demonstrate one in front of me on the WWW Cons: I cringed.
I woke up to a brand new site this morning. Oh, happy day! I spent some time clicking around, oohing and aahing over the changes, I like them so far, and then I went into the community center to get my new daily dose of information. Whhhhaaaaat?...
Pros: It was in streaming video so I couldn't see that well. Cons: It may air.
This is not an ad I would want to see, primarily because I think it is purely meant to draw attention to itself and not epinions.com. Considering the vast array of products that could be demonstrated based on reviews from epinions.com, one can only...
Pros: Informative and right to the point, serious message about a serious site Cons: No complaint
I may be biased, but I am for anything that will help a child get the natural milk. I think this ad is truly informative. It is more than talking about something. Those who are interested in purchasing a breast pump can come to the site to see an...
OFF TOPIC: Wow! Bravo on epinions.com team on significant face-lift. It basically addresses some of the issues that I was going to suggest to them or writing another opinion on, ie. choice of revealing identity on each rating, and putting them below...
Pros: Good effort Cons: didn't showcase the product in a good light
Got Milk? Hmmm not really! This will not become a popular ad like the Got Milk campaign thats for sure. I believe this commercial will quickly sour with viewers after they see it a few times. The concept is good and I see the point that epinions is...
The commercial itself is funny, well done and not graphic. The *buzz saw* noise in the commercial is annoying, I must say. It reminded me of another *woman friendly appliance*. I couldn't stop laughing the whole time I was watching and listening. ...
Pros: The commercial clearly proves the ease of using the pump Cons: Because I was not expecting the demonstration to be so graphic, I almost did not hear she was doing a promo for Epinions.com. And that is the point behind it, right?
If you haven't, then you should check out the commercials Epinions is taking polls on which should be aired and which should not. Here is your chance to voice your opinion where it really counts!
Pros: educational Cons: too much information for most
First of all, let me state that I am an avid breastfeeding advocate and have no problem nursing in public (covered of course) and believe that breast feeding is the only way to feed your baby. That said, I then have to state that this commercial should...
Pros: What can I say? They figured out a way to get breasts on TV Cons: Some may be a little offended by the "spot".
What a coincidence! Remarkably, out of all the products covered here on Epinions, the "Breast Pump" found it's way into a television commercial. I suppose that Breasts and TV are made for one another somehow. I'm not sure, but I don't think...
Who is responsible for this torturously bad, gratuitous commercial? I am becoming convinced that a grade school experiment has gone awry, wherein little children took complete creative control of the project, because surely no responsible, mature adult...
Pros: Very well demonstrated Cons: sound is a bit off again
I liked this commercial very much. I thought she did a very good job for someone who doesn't appear in commercials professionally. I also applaud her for having the guts to make it in the first place. Breastfeeding is still such a touchy subject with...
Pros: Attention catcher Cons: Possibility for controversy
Hmmm....definitely an interesting piece of work that commercial was. Odd though, because while finding it pretty entertaining, I don't know if I could watch it on t.v. and not wonder who the heck would air such a commercial. Only a dot com company...
Pros: You never go wrong when you feature breasts on TV. Cons: None.
Hey what a great marketing idea. Do a commercial that features a woman's breast prominently. Yeah! I do like the commercial titled "Breast Pump". I would not agree with the review presented within the commercial itself, but that just might...
Pros: hilarious topic for a TV Epinion ad Cons: continuity issues regarding the milk level in the bottle
I am still rolling around laughing. This has to be one of the funniest commercials I have ever seen. To understand why I'm laughing so hard, you need to understand that I have a warped sense of humor and most people think it's bordering on...
Pros: Shows that nothing at Epinions is left unreviewed. Cons: Doesn't have what it takes to reach out to the audience Epinions wants.
Let me begin by saying that I watched this commercial with an open mind. I have no problem with the breast feeding theme myself. I completely respect it. Reviewers have been exploding atop their soapboxes in support of breastfeeding and how it...
Pros: Funny! Good example of Epinions in action. Cons: A little edgy for the squeamish.
Oh man!
This ad really toes the line well. Breast-feeding is one of those things in our culture which we're never quite sure how to handle. Is it apropriate in public? Should you turn the other way when a mother unslings a boob for feeding...
Pros: You see what you usually don't Cons: Annoying, uninformative, not funny, and not representative
This commercial was my least favorite out of the first set. About the only thing novel about it is its choice of topic, which is something that generally isn't shown or talked about in public.
First off, the camerawork is very jumpy. This is...
Pros: not a one Cons: too lengthy, too boring, uninteresting product
No one is going to want to see someone sitting on their couch with some loud device, explaining their product. This is one of those products that just won't catch on. A review on this won't bring anyone in to epinions.
Pros: simple, effective, easy Cons: painstaking to clean
It's hard to know just where to start, and equally hard to know what I'm reviewing. Is it the review of the product? Is it the review of the commercial and it's production values? Is it the performance of the cat? The pizza man?
Pros: Funny funny funny...and that cat Cons: The pizza guy should have sniffed the bottle..hehehehe
This is the second Epinions.com commercial I've watched (the first being the iMAC one), and I got to say these are awesome. On the level of memorability and humor, I'd put them right up there with the old Little Caesar's commercials.
Pros: That pizza delivery moment-priceless! Cons: My poor dad...
So epinions.com is taking the leap! I suppose we should expect to be hit with an influx of new recruits once the first ad campaign launches in a few days. That's what they want right? New blood. New blood is good. It'll shake things up a bit. A few of...
