iMac

Pros: NONE
Cons: Violent, What is the purpose of this commercial?

This commercial is definitely OUT OF CONTROL! There are a lot of other
ways that you can express the discontent most of us have with iMac.
If you are trying to deter someone from buying, show those things that
the person in this...

Pros: Looks terribly cool.
Cons: Support service is positively abysmal.

While my iMac is now functioning reasonably well, my experience with this supposedly take-it-out-of-the-box-and-go computer and the "support" staff at Apple cause me to not recommend this. Just like a 4-star restaurant: if the food is excellent but the...

Pros: He gets his point across
Cons: Using violence!!!!!!!!

There are plenty of good ads that could be run instead of this. This will promote to kids everywhere that if you don't like something, just grab a gun and shoot it full of holes. I surely will not let my kid watch this ad. I think, if anything,...

Pros: Tell's of the slowness of the product
Cons: sends the wrong message

I Just think that with all the violence going on in the world today I don't think that teaching our children and consumers that shooting up a computer was the answer. Maybe the system is slow and if that was the point of this paticular ad it could have...

Pros: Gets attention
Cons: False and misleading

So what is the point of this commercial? Jay says he uses the gun to get extra awareness and that probably works. You can claim you're an ex-used car salesman and shoot up a Mercedes. Or you can claim you are an ex-MIS and shoot up a Windows 2000...

Pros: Funny commercial
Cons: I wanted to see more detail of the damage done to the IMAC

This is a great commercial. This isn't some sort of statement commercial that is secretly funded by the NRA. Lighten up! I actually learned stuff about the IMAC that helps me decide whether or not I would like to buy one. Epinions isn't the place for...

Pros: Was being realistic
Cons: The gun

The commercial is a typical bashing of product. Why would this not be acceptable when he was just stating the obvious. Not one person in this world cannot say that they weren't tempted to harm a computer for not doing its promised function. He acted...

Pros: nice points
Cons: i don't like how he demonstrated those points

This commercial was a little bit strange. I did get the point that he didn't like the computer, but I don't think that I would have shot it up! Those imacs are expensive! If he didn't like it, he should have given it to me! I think that the biggest...

Pros: grabs your attention, keeps it, clear conclusion
Cons: the lighting could've been better

In the words of Drew Carey, "LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE!"

What's the big deal? Maybe cause I'm from a younger, no kids, no need-to-ward-off-negative-impressions demographic, but I don't get it.

So he uses a gun. Why does this...

Pros: None
Cons: Promotes violence.

Guns should never be included with advertising. They should not be glamorized. Guns have a purpose, but it is not for shooting people or objects. Children are the greatest imitators in the world, and will attempt to do things they see being done....

Pros: Dissatisfaction Noted
Cons: Methods Inflammatory in time of inflammation

With all the flare, and those fanning the flames, don't do a gun related commercial. Although this doesn't look like an act of anger, and does appear to be a forth right unsatisfactory review of a product. We don't need those who are very anti gun, or...

Pros: funny
Cons: not useful review

An attention-grabbing ad that delivers a message low in accuracy or irrelevant will be easily dismissed along with the advertiser. It is a waste of good technique and a destroyer of advertiser credibility.

Now if you *really* wanted to salvage...

Pros: none
Cons: ugly little machine with no soul

Correctomondo!!! Dumb thing for a computer to be is a pent 3 wanna be! Where is the hard drive? Why can't I copy discs?? And what's with the colors...and the shape? Looks like a reject from the eggplant factory!!
Don't like the neon colors...no...

Pros: None
Cons: Inappropriate message

My immediate reaction to this ad was very negative . . . almost disbelief that anyone could seriously consider using it. In light of the recent violent events involving guns, this ad is insensitive and inappropriate. In another time and place, the ad...

Pros: not a lot
Cons: fails to make a clear case

I am confused by this advertisement. It doesn't make it clear to me that e-pinions is the product. I am pro gun, but in this day and age is it wise to show this. It appears to be a disgruntled employee going postal. I think you need to make it clearer...
