Pros: Shooting solidified Jay's points
Cons: Why didn't he shoot the Beanie Baby?
Summary: Jay's commercial was insightful with spoken facts; it was responsible by showing excellent gun safety (Jay did not bring the iMac out to a local garbage transfer station behind the railroad tracks and set it up with some glass bottles); and let's face ... read more

Pros: positive education for future generation
Cons: -gruesome details on people who have died from these effects-
Summary: I'll admit I've seen some pretty funny commercials in my time, but I'd have to say that anti-drug-smoking-drink ads make you think-they aren't the "best" commercials because they show the real facts,the people who have been killed, the ... read more

Pros: Funny commercial
Cons: I wanted to see more detail of the damage done to the IMAC
Summary: This is a great commercial. This isn't some sort of statement commercial that is secretly funded by the NRA. Lighten up! I actually learned stuff about the IMAC that helps me decide whether or not I would like to buy one. Epinions isn't the place for ... read more

Pros: ,
Cons: ,
Summary: I cannot believe that at this time this ad is not going to run. This ad which I found on Adcritic (www.adcritic.com) is what brought me to Epinions in the first place.

Cons: iMac not fully destroyed, left unfulfilled by Beanie Baby teaser.

Pros: Absolutely
Cons: none

Pros: Strong controversial opinions expressed
Cons: Gun oponents won't be happy

Cons: The fact an iMac has to be in it.

Pros: I felt that the review was funny as well as informative
Cons: He could have included another two downfalls of the utter crapulance named iMac

Pros: Concise, understandable, funny
Cons: Too cutting-edge for mundane folk
Summary: I think this was a brilliant commercial, in the same vein as the Nike Air/Bungee commercial that aired all of once before it was pulled. It explains exactly what's wrong with an iMac in layman's terms, and it has a visual kick that's genuinely funny. ... read more
