iMac

Pros: attention getter
Cons: use of gun

I think the commercial was pretty good.Having Jay shooting the computer will get the attention of the viewer.I know if I had never heard of Epinions,I would make it a point to go check them out the next time I was online.
I think Epinions will...

Pros: None
Cons: Bad publicity!

I don't think using a gun to shoot the computer is a good thing. There's
to many people that are against guns in this country and this commercial
would just fuel the fire. I enjoy shooting my guns also for hunting. Which
is what they are...

Pros: Good overall commercial, got me looking
Cons: It's a commercial

Wow....just like us Americans. We are just sooo good that God forbid something bad happens, it can't possibly be our fault. If it is bad, we blame someone or something else. We find drugs in our children's room, we blame society and their friends and...

Pros: understood his topic
Cons: not appropriate, violent, bad influence on kids

Whether I agree with this writers review or not is irrelevant. He shouldn't have used the shooting technique to make his point. Target shooters, handgun enthusiasts, and computer users don't necessarily share the same opinions. If the advertisement was...

Pros: NONE.
Cons: A waste of time, money and energy.

This is a SERIOUSLY messed up ad. Whoever approved this ad should be fired right away. I can see that the ad was trying for humor, but it is way off the mark. This ad would not make me want to visit epinions.com.

I know what they were...

Pros: Amusing to some.
Cons: A real turn-off to those who are anti-gun.

I think it is an excellent idea to carry negative opinions as well as positive ones. And to be frank. But - let's face it. Gun control is currently a touchy subject. Personally, I lean to the NRA side as opposed to Clinton's. I believe we should make an...

Pros: I am so far away from pro as to be prehistoric
Cons: This commercial is beyond awful

We live in a world gone insane with violence. In light of this fact, I find this commercial in extremely poor taste. We are bombarded with news of violence perpetrated by zealots, malcontents, hate mongers, sociopaths and people in the throes of...

Pros: Nice show of gun safety, horrible computer any ways, no loss
Cons: advocates destroying an expensive toy with a gun

I actually think this commercial is pretty funny.. Jay brings up a lot of good points.. this computer does not have the ability that normal computers have, you cannot upgrade and basically the colors are just a gimmicky way of drawing away from the fact...

Pros: witty
Cons: none that I can see

Upfront, I have not seen the ad, and am basing this opinion on what I have read about it, but an iMac getting shot up by an epinions reviewer is a very good idea. Number one, it is funny. Number two, it is satisfying in that I would love to...

Pros: Funny, gets its point across
Cons: Might offend some people (ya THINK?!)

To be honest, I think this ad is hilarious! Not only does it effectively grab your attention, but it gets its point across quite clearly.
Sometimes, the most effective ad is the one that causes a little trouble, like this one. But the first time...

Pros: none
Cons: doesn't show how useful epinions would be to the normal consumer

After watching the commercial, my first thought was how bad epinions would look to someone not familiar with the site. This commercial looks as if reviewers are not the intelligent people they are, as most people would not go the the extremes of actually...

Pros: Funny to some?
Cons: Violent, pointless, not objective

Can't we keep violence out of anything? This someone taking things to an extreme...and I think that there are much better ways of expressing your own dissatisfaction than shooting things. He doesn't point out any good points at all, when the whole...

Pros: I can't think anything...
Cons: promoting gun shooting, offensive to many people

I enjoy both writing and reading epinions, but this commercial is sooooooooooo baaaaaaad. First of all, I don't understand what the guy in the commercial is trying to say. So, if you don't like something, just shoot it with a gun? I like humorous...

Pros: Proper gun handling and safety, intelligent commentary
Cons: none

OK, first point: I'm a network administrator at a major telecom. I love Linux; Mac and Windows give me stomach cramps.

Second point: I own several guns and am an NRA-certified trainer. I also carry a concealed handgun (or two) for...

Pros: Positive gun owner image
Cons: Corporate whimping-out to liberals

This commercial is great. It has humor and it gets the viewers attention, too bad Epinions bowed to being "political correct". This reminds me of the outpost.com commercial where they shot hampsters out of a cannon into a brick wall, it was...
