iMac

Pros: Scars "epinions.com" into my mind
Cons: Sends the wrong message completely. Equates Epinions.com with guns and violence.

This was one of the first commercials I've ever seen for Epinions.com. Frankly, before I saw this commercial, I was very interested in what people told me about Epinions.com. However, this commercial nearly turned me away from this site completely. I...

Pros: NONE
Cons: Pointlessly Violent, Kind of poorly made.

No way, no how, absolutely not!!!! The commercial is not very good to begin with! I viewed the preview of it with my husband. Although he usually likes to see things that are kind of out there, even he says no way does he want our children seeing a...

Pros: none in my opinion
Cons: Poor Taste, esp the reference to beanie baby review

Sorry, while I find the idea of TV commercials featuring epinion members fascinating, this is one commercial that I would not like to see. The idea of the whole shooting of the imac is poor taste, but the portion that sends me over the edge is the...

Pros: When it's removed from the site, that will be a Pro!
Cons: Don't get me started!

Remember a few years back when some marketing genius decided to blow up the clown on a comercial? They probably thought it was cute. They probably thought that it would boost sales. They were wrong. I remember hearing stories about children having...

Pros: Atleast he used ear protection
Cons: Violence is not an answer

I have a five year old and I would not want her to see a man shooting a computer. For one thing, I really don't want my daughter to think it's okay for a person to shoot a computer. While kids should not have access to guns, showing them that it's fun...

Pros: Funny
Cons: Guns offend people

Now, I love someone shooting a Mac as much as (well most of) the next guy, but I'm not sure you are going to do Epinions.com any favors by running this ad. You will definitely offend Mac users and they have been known to picket and protest at the...

Pros: Original and extremely funny
Cons: Stuffed shirts might get their noses out of joint on the gun issue - get a life!

My husband and I loved this commercial! The concept was very original and extremely funny. While most of the negative reviews tend to drone on and on about the gun issue, we felt that it was presented in a highly responsible manner. The reviewer was...

Pros: You tell me.
Cons: His hair is terrible!

Working in the area of tech support for the last few months I've had many an opportunity to deal with the latest form of macho jerks that is emerging in the era of computer age. TECH NERDS WITH ATTITUDE

So I'm biased, I hate guys like Jay....

Pros: Makes people think and is an example of what Epinion is about.
Cons: Makes people think and is an example of what Epinion is about.

After reading several of the opinions I decided to ask my 8 year old son what he thought of the ad. Here is what he said:

"I thought it was funny but the shooting parts were bad"

Why where the shooting parts bad?
...

Pros: none
Cons: poor concept; poor execution (bad pun)

Apple did a commercial back in the 80's; some woman throws a hammer at a huge monitor - that was humorous.

This commercial would have been funny 10-15 years ago. Obviously whoever thought this was a good idea lives in a Brady Bunch world or...

Pros: ZERO
Cons: The whole thing about guns

I know all about guns and people and people dying. This commercial is not at all funny, humerous, watchable, or anything except terrible. Like the title I know all about guns and all of this stuff. You see when I was 15, my father was killed by a...

Pros: cutsy ad if you can overlook the gun
Cons: some people will be put off

Just today Sept. 13, 2000 as I was doing my office drone duties I noticed a magazine "smartbusinessmag.com" The cover said "dot.com scams" I couldn't resist I had to read it. The first thing I noticed was the word epinions.com &...

Pros: none
Cons: very tacky

Don't you think there is enough violence on TV now.
I don't think this is the kind of advertisement or publicity that is needed for a trusted sight like EPINIONS. The younger generation is very impressionable, and I think that this will impress...

Pros: Reflects many users feelings.
Cons: Not the best time to air this politically.

I think that is a great commercial and expresses the way that many users feel about the product pictured - and what they would like to do with it.

In regard to the GUN issue - here we have one normal man with one gun shooting an inanimate...

Pros: none
Cons: all

I saw the commercial and you point out several things about the iMac that you don't like. I bought an iMac myself and I didn't like the speakers. So, I bought a new pair. Most speakers that come with computers aren't really that great anyway so it was no...
