iMac

Pros: none
Cons: all

After viewing Jay's ad, and some of the Epionions reviews, I must still say that it is never ok to use a gun in such a context. It gives a terrible example. Even worse is Jay''s logic that using the gun on the iMac was
an inarguable...

Pros: Some will like this ad
Cons: Hopefully they have $$$$

I find myself at a loss for words. However, I will try. This is not a commercial that would get past the first 2 seconds before the old remove would click into action. I need information and this ad gives me none. I need want and desire the hows whats...

Pros: Attention getter, intelligent, entertaining
Cons: Didn't use a big enough gun

Three cheers for Jay and Epinions! This is a very witty, creative, attention-grabbing ad. Those who wish to snivel and groan about the legal, responsible (albeit unusual) use of a firearm in a controlled environment - go find a tree to hug. Seriously,...

Pros: Shows a strong opinion and commitment
Cons: Juvenile, shows more of a will to fire off a firearm than to persuade

I am a PC user and don't particularly like iMacs, but this was just a stupid juvenile display. First of all, I don't believe that any valid facts were given that were the least bit valid. So what if the mouse is bad, does that make the whole product bad?...

Pros: None
Cons: offensive, unclear

I may mot be the person that should comment on this ad because I have spent 18 years creating commercials. But this ad is just bad. Besides all the negative connections with shooting and guns (whichever side you're on doesn't matter - it distracts from...

Pros: I want my friends to see this commercial
Cons: only took 4 shots

Well, I see this causing an outrage in "society" right now. I loved this commmercial just because I hate iMacs. I don't want to kill anyone or buy a gun and shoot something. I do play the Doom style games that are gorrie, I don't play them...

Pros: it is short
Cons: acceptance of gun play

Advertising costs lots of cash - couldn't the same cash have been used to do something more interesting or memorable WITHOUT having to use a gun? The shock value isn't there anymore and in light of all the violence we see in the real world, who needs...

Pros: none
Cons: everything about it

The ad lacks taste and is sending the wrong message, Please rethink what you are trying to get across and live up to the standards of Epinions. In a time when first graders are shooting first graders there are many more ways to sell products than with a...

Pros: well filmed. scripted. gun-controlled
Cons: evil destruction of useful iMac (possibly)

the piece about shooting an iMac was rather amusing, and pretty well done. unfortunately, it's a case of poor research.
the shooter claims: "what does a color say about performance?" well, nothing. the 350-450MHz G3 does that for it. The...

Pros: well shot and written
Cons: not very well thought out with viewers in mind

My Name is Dallas and I watched the commercial. First I have a degree in communications with advertising. Second and most important I am a gun owner and competitive shooter. I may not like a product and sure we all have had a product that we would...

Pros: Epinion lets us have an opinion
Cons: Violence brings on more violence

I don't like this commercial at all! We have enough violence in or world with out commercials like this.If you are dissatisfied with a product then say so.Don't show someone using a gun to settle a problem.The young people today have had enough gun...

Pros: Funny, interesting. Just a great commercial.
Cons: Old people don't like it... boo hoo.

Come on people, this commercial was funny. It's not against anyone, and it's not as bad as Mac's 1984 commercial which seemed to say IBM was Big Brother, and that Mac was breaking everyone from the brainwashing. For people to get upset over an AD shows...

Pros: Nothing good about it
Cons: Doesn't fit the product, is totally non-sensical

The problem with advertising these days is that often the ad bears no relevance to the product. With all the violence in our society involving firearms, it's incongruous to me that anyone would consider shooting a product just because it doesn't suit...

Pros: Convincing opinion
Cons: Bland coloring

Genuine breath of fresh air in the advertising world. Open, Honest and to the point. Actually my rating of the iMac also. A slow-motion shot of one of the bullets hitting the computer would help emphasize some of the points being made - such as a...

Pros: possibly appeals to hillbillies
Cons: i honestly don't have enough room here to list them all

This commercial is neither funny nor accurate, and therefore is completely ineffective. In order to have a positive impact, a commercial must give people either something to laugh at, or something that they can relate to, and this ad accomplishes...
