iMac

Pros: none
Cons: speaks to the violence in society

I am a bit confused....

I think the iMac commercial is offensive. In today's society, there are too many people who tend to use guns to express their opinions.... in the process, students get killed by fellow students whose opinion is that the...

Pros: none
Cons: everything

This is truly one of the scariest things I've seen on TV. It appears to be aimed at shock value. If they had dressed the guy like Elvis I would have seen the humor. It was alleged that a gun was Elvis' answer to aggravations he encountered on/from TV....

Pros: No misinterpreting this one
Cons: Inappropriate and risky

Although the metaphor is unique and it's evident that the reviewer doesn't care for the iMac, using a gun to express an opinion is risky at best and a PR nightmare for Epinions.com at its worst. I think there are other more creative and humorous ways to...

Pros: Briefly amusing
Cons: Irresponsible and juvenile

Seems to me that Jay's commercial will primarily appeal to:

1. Windows-advocating computer users who dislike/are jealous of/disapprove of Macintoshes in general and iMacs in particular.
2. Self-proclaimed "young,"...

Pros: Funny, Point is well made, People can relate to the basic premise
Cons: Shooting at anything with a gun should probably be considered in bad taste these days.

This commercial is funny and certainly reflects the way a lot of us have felt about computers. I know that there have been many times that I have wanted to shoot out, drop my computer off the roof of a skyscraper, or taken a sledgehammer to my computer....

Pros: NONE
Cons: Promoting gun use this way is a sin.

I can not believe that you would even consider the use of a gun to promote a computer commercial!!! It is hard enough trying to teach kids (and people) that guns are not funny, cool or a toy!!! That is exactly what this commercial is showing!!!! The...

Pros: attention getting
Cons: Needlessly sensationalistic

If attention is what you are trying to accomplish you will succeed. However this guy comes off as a punk who obviously hated Apple Computer before he ever got an Imac. In fact I suggest this is all a set up because the deficiencies he points out are...

Pros: none
Cons: use of the gun, pointless

This opinion is going to be quick and to the point.

It made no sense! The use of the gun was totally stupid. Is this the only way the author thought he could get attention?
IMAC may not be the best choice on the market for serious...

Pros: None
Cons: Glorifies violence, ignores intellectual thought

I am certain that someone in a creative department found this to be a brilliant Epinions ad. On a certain level, it is: brilliantly immature.
Yes, it's an attention grabber. Yes, the pacing is quick. There's a certain hipness to the tone -- but it...

Pros: nothing
Cons: everything

I just watched the ad, I'm not sure if it's for or against iMacs. It seemed to be against Beanie Babies, I guess I understood that much. I don't like the ad at all, in the first place I don't think children need to see any more guns being used in a...

Pros: none
Cons: tasteless

I think this ad is very tasteless, in view of the controversy these days over guns and gun control. I think the point could have been made much better with a sledgehammer! Now THAT is a way to work out your frustrations over a piece of equipment that is...

Pros: Entertaining shock value, correct core message
Cons: Negative undercurrents warrant rejection

A: Unfortunately .. the better part.
Loved the commercial from a concept perspective and is soooo over the top. It captures an authentic human response to stupid/malicious product design/marketing by businesses that have lost their way in...

Pros: safety
Cons: use of gun

I watched the Epinions ad and had very mixed feelings. It was attention getting (as the hamster in Outpost.com) but I'm not sure people watching it will get the message. I believe with the creativity in the workplace today (advertising) that the same...

Pros: NONE
Cons: VIOLENCE

This ad is sending the wrong message to children. There are so many instances of children with guns we do not need to keep bombarding them with messages that the way to settle our problems is with a gun. This ad should be banned. We need to show...

Pros: A true business machine - albeit successfully implemented for home business uses.
Cons: Are there really any? The customer is always right!

Is this a review of the commercial, it's informational value, or the rewards of owning an iMac? Known among Apple/Macintosh buffs to be a totally business machine, rather than a toy such as the Dream Machine or other gaming devices of their ilk, the...
