by Profilewriter  - Top 500, Mar 10 '00
Pros: Funny, clever, wonderful actor, smart not to shoot the stuffed animal
Cons: I was going to say an arrow would be better, but I'm not sure
I'm still laughing. I love this ad, can't help it.
And, I am 100% -- make that 110% -- opposed to guns. I am really over the top on the no guns issue. Not only did I ask (okay, force) the spouse to get rid of his hunting rifle before we...

Pros: hmmmmm ... not many.
Cons: destructive overtone!
Dear Epinions (if you are listening...)
I recommend that you don't show this particular commercial.
So the guy doesn't like his computer. Shoot it ? How does this help me as a consumer?? I come to Epinions to learn about something. Even...

by ROOSKERS , Mar 11 '00
Pros: None
Cons: Violent, Not Inviting for new comers, Poor taste.
Does Jay have to shoot an Imac just prove a point?
I understand that it is his opinion, and of course
everyone is entitled to share what he or she thinks
of a certain product. That is what the Epinions web
site is all about.

Pros: Absolutely None!
Cons: Promotes violence, degrades the members.
This is my second viewing of Epinion's commercials and frankly, I am no where near impressed!
Before I give my opinion of what I just saw, let me take a moment to explain what the commercial is about for those who haven't seen it, or perhaps...

Pros: wicked humor, novel approach
Cons: promotes inappropriate use of hand guns
Ack!! I can't believe that Epinions would consider promoting handguns. Not that I'm opposed to owning handguns, mind you. I just can't believe that Epinions would seriously consider airing a commercial that features a disgruntled computer store worker...

by Rick_Bin , Mar 16 '00
Pros: Read my post.
Cons: Jay is not as handsome as ... the breast pump girl. Gotcha Jay!
To the Epinions Community:
I am Rick Bin, the tent guy.
It's funny that during my "fifteen minutes of fame," I find myself caught up in the furor generated by Jay's commercial rather than enjoying my own brief time in...

by zobovor - Top 1000, Mar 15 '00
Pros: makes it abundantly clear the guy isn't best friends with his iMac
Cons: The message: Guns are fun! Just shoot something if you don't like it!
I would love to be so wealthy that I could blast a new, several-hundred-dollar product to smithereens instead of taking it back for a refund.
Commercials are great, that way. Television is truly a fantasy world, where the power of cheese can...

Pros: Compelling.
Cons: Message is mixed. Use of gun is inappropriate.
Okay, okay. I watched the commercial and thought it was funny. I also thought that it wasn't in good taste. Particularly since it portrays Epinionators in less than favorable light.
Jay is, of course, entitled to his opinion. Shooting...

by johnnyblade , Mar 14 '00
Pros: none
Cons: all of them
um, What does that commerical has anything to do with the Imac? just because of a guy started firing shots at a computer and telling you what to get? And no, he didn't even say why we have to buy the Imac, and I just don't see the whole point of this...

Pros: Attention getting...funny at the end
Cons: Scary at first...too violent
Let me first say that I find guns to be icky. Don't like 'em.
And upon first viewing, this commercial was scary. Some madman with a gun blasting away. The computer was shot to bits. However, at the end when he said, "I also do a review...

by Gizzykat , Apr 01 '00
Pros: It's going to get attention.
Cons: Maybe not the most honorable piece of film footage
The prompt right above this screen is telling me to focus on the commercial and not the broader issues. I'm trying here. Bear with me and I promise not to digress, too much, that is.
As far as commercials go, this certainly is an attention...

Pros: Shock Factor Would Motivate Many People to Check Out Epinions
Cons: The Inevitable Bad Press That Will Follow the Showing of This Advertisement
Epinions is a relatively young internet business. It has a loyal following and is steadily gaining recognition and visits to its website. To help spur the growth, Epinions has now decided to make some television advertisements.
Television is...

Pros: funny, even funnier the second time around
Cons: cant hear what he says at one point
I must say, the first time I saw the ad I was a bit shocked to see someone shooting a computer. The reason for this was I had just woken up and my brother was watching it and I came down in the middle of the ad. I had no idea it was for epinions. He...

by ellenws , Mar 15 '00
Pros: for those with 5 sec attention spans
Cons: cheap gimmick, wrong image projected
I'd have found the iMac commercial just as, if not more, effective if he'd used rocks to hit the computer. I agree with others on the subliminal effect of the casual use of guns. It isn't necessary. Other means are just as effective, dramatic,...

by manky - Top 1000, Mar 11 '00
Pros: new, and different idea
Cons: violent effect is what is first noted
Unfortunately, I think this commercial doesn't well portray it's purpose. Sure, it is quite obvious that the reviewer is not happy with the product, but how well is a commercial going to be received by the viewing public at large if it portrays...
