iMac

Pros: none
Cons: misses the mark

Sorry, but I just don't get it. If viewers don't quickly and clearly get the message, then the ad fails and your advertising dollars are wasted. Every computer owner has wanted to shoot their computer at one time or another -- sometimes more than once,...

Pros: iMac is very low quality
Cons: silent approval, encourages the use of firearms to destroy, nothing else.

I just finished watching Jay and I must say I hope you don't go with this one. I agree iMac is certainly not my first choice, or second or third..
but with the world the way it is today we can't risk exploitations of something that can be so deadly...

Pros: Funny ad! Love the Beanie Baby!
Cons: Guns aren't funny anymore.

I'm sorry, but the last thing we need right now is a teen (or teen-looking) kid blowing away a computer on TV. A little too Unabomber/Littleton for my taste. As funny as this particular ad is, guns aren't funny anymore. Remember Cheech and Chong, from...

Pros: Action, Comical, Brutal Point Of View
Cons: May hurt iMac "people's" feelings

This commercial has everything an ad should. It is the honest opinion of a consumer, it is very "catchy", and it is designed to get attention. And it does. I think it has everything "good" tv commercials need. I don't think the...

Pros: none
Cons: offensive at best

This ad is done very poorly at best. Why would anyone want to shoot a computer? What purpose does it serve to shoot holes in something in order to say it does not function like something else. So what it if has a small mouse, so do others computers,...

Pros: SPOT STINKS BAD ENOUGH TO Get attention
Cons: COULD NEVER SELL THE PRODUCT

I do not believe that the maker of this commercial has any consideration for the target audience. Having bought tons of TV...I believe that this is wrong. Although it may get some attention with the young audience it is intended for....it will not sell...

Pros: Different
Cons: Violent

Is this an ad about iMac or an ad about using guns? Is there a need to show violence about a product. It's only a product. Even if it's the worst product in the world, there are many ways to dispose it. This advertisement encourages viewers to vent their...

Pros: Shows a gun nut in action.
Cons: Shows a gun nut in action.

Sure, there isn't enough gun violence in America, let's spoof all those nuts who use a gun when they are frustrated at life... This guy seems to qualify as one of those nuts; after all, who in their right mind would use a FLOPPY disk to store MP3...

Pros: Humorous
Cons: Violent

I'm afraid that anyone shooting anything can be interpreted as violent, whether it's an iMac or a beanie baby. The events of the last year with the shootings in the schools and other gun related violence leaves very little room for anyone depicting...

Pros: none
Cons: As identified in opinion

I find this advertisement totally inappropriate. Not because I like "Mac's", I have never used one. But, because of the use of a handgun to destroy the computer.. This display of solving a problem with a gun should not appear anywhere!!...

Pros: none
Cons: the whole thing

My opinion on this commercial is that is a pretty poor attempt to show how this one man feels about iMac's. It doesn't show both sides of the coin. It also left me wondering what this proved? Does it prove that the iMac isn't bullet proof? I seriously...

Pros: None
Cons: promoting use of guns in anger

I am an imac owner who has gone through the tortures of owning PCs. The ad is offensive to me and other imac users who love their imacs. More importantly, I do not approve of the use of the gun. I am not anti-gun by any means, but the use of the gun and...

Pros: none
Cons: promotes violence means to an end, endorses poor communication skills of people

Reviewing the commerical of epinion review of the iMac did not lure me to want to check out the epinions.com site. I thought the commerical glamorized the use of violent methods to elimate the stress that a person feels when they choose to sell...

Pros: none
Cons: all

Does anyone else think there's already too much violence everywhere? The words "school" and "shooting" never used to be used in the same sentence. These kinds of ads promote violence. No one can say they don't. So what if the gun is...

Pros: It was kind of funny.
Cons: It made the reviewer seem biased.

While I agree that Jay has some points that are completely valid, I also think that this commercial made him out to be a person who is ani-macintosh.

Shooting the iMac was also kind of out of line and not totally appropriate. This, to me,...
