iMac

Pros: ,
Cons: ,

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.

First of all, the ad seems to be doing exactly what I would think that...

Pros: none
Cons: offensive, dumb, misrepresents product

As a person who has lived 8 years in Dunblane, Scotland, where Thomas Hamilton murdered a group of primary school children with a handgun- leading to them being banned in Britain, I feel amazed that any of you would find this amusing. For what it's...

Pros: none
Cons: in poor taste

This commercial is in extremely poor taste. I'm sure the reason this is even being discussed has to do with all of the recent school shootings.

Add to that the flurry of livery cab drivers who have been shot during their tours in New York...

Pros: pretty fresh, right to the point with his feeling
Cons: Too many wimpy people out there that will only associate the gun subject with epinions

First I think this commercial is a quite cute and cuts right to the chase with this guys feeling towards this product. I have read the other opinions about how people think that if it plays on TV, other people (aka) children will automatically want to...

Pros: Gets attention
Cons: Might not bring views to the site

Yah, Yah, I could react as a Mom: not crazy about the gun. As the kid in me: who laughed and then looked around to see who was watching. Or the iMac G4 owner who has an opposing opinion (not yet an epinion.) Although I do agree about the mouse. Or I...

Pros: Humor gets the point across; Furby finish is great; it was fun to see what happens when the iMac gets shot;
Cons: Guns can't begin to solve the problems of the world; guns don't kill iMacs, people kill iMacs; a larger caliber would have been nice!

I like humor as much as the next guy...maybe even more than iMac fans, but let's be careful out of the gate! iMacs shouldn't be shot...the developers should be mouse-whipped if they have promised something the iMac doesn't deliver.
So far,...

Pros: Awareness
Cons: Poor Pool-Out

Hey! Have you been reading the papers lately about school shootings in America? How old is this kid in the commercial anyway?

If your objective is to show insensitivity, you've accomplished this task. You'll get a response but at what...

Pros: sympathy for computer company
Cons: temper of customer

This was to be a commercial about a computer,I saw nothing saying that. Just someone's dislike for that computer. You can not please everyone.I thought he was a big joke,it made me feel sorry for the people who made the computer. If he was trying to turn...

Pros: Funny, has an edge, makes me want to go to epinions.com
Cons: Will cause some bad press that epinions will have to manage

Damn, that's a funny ad. I can understand some of the fall out, but when that beenie baby went flying down the track at the end I nearly peed myself! Airing this ad would give epinions some huge publicity, although certainly not all good. Ads with an...

Pros: none
Cons: childish, irrelevant, ineffective

This commercial for Epinions.com shows a disgruntled customer at a shooting range putting bullet holes in his iMac while ranting about it's shortcomings. Well, to put it bluntly, I find this commercial offensive. After watching it one time the only...

Pros: Give me a few weeks--I'll think of one!
Cons: Tacky

Commercials have only one function. To sell. Subtlety, intensity, and shock are tools used to catch our attention for those few fleeting seconds allocated. After two seconds, J.Q Public will be running out to the refrigerator or the bathroom--anywhere...

Pros: Funny
Cons: Guns

As a mother of three in this increasingly dangerous world, I say NO GUNS!
As an adult, I can appreciate the commercial. It's funny. I just think that with all the recent Gun violence, especially by kids, that Guns should be left out. Would Epinions...

Pros: Funny, clever, original...
Cons: Guns...

I love this ad! I first saw it at adcritic.com, then immediately e-mailed it to all my friends. Okay, maybe it's because I hate Apple computers with a passion, but still, it's a great ad! Okay, maybe it would be better if he was skeet shooting with...

Pros: emphatic
Cons: guns

Fury, frustration, even rage. We have all experienced all these, and
disgust, with our computers and our relationship to them. Dropping a computer off a building, running over a computer with a HumVee, and other ways to get...

Pros: Straight, to the point, honest, truthful, insightful.
Cons: none

This is the type of thing you should want, you want to say that you want to here people opinion no matter if you agree with it, or if it means with the 'norm'. This commercial does just that

What better way to show that you want people's open...
