Die iMac, Die.

by CityHunter , Apr 05 '00
Pros: Who's your Daddy, iMac?!
Cons: iMac not fully destroyed, left unfulfilled by Beanie Baby teaser.
I don't know what everyone is complaining about. So he shoots an iMac. Would you rather have him go and shoot a bunch of people who disargeed with his opinion? I laughed when I saw this commercial. I was dsappointed that he didn't shoot the mouse he...

No More Bullets

by binx , Mar 15 '00
Pros: None
Cons: Use of guns to resolve problems is irresponsible.
This commercial is highly irresponsible in the current climate regarding the use and misuse of firearms in this country. Its depiction of the use of bullets as an appropriate way to criticize the features computer will give, to some individuals, the...

1984? More like Lemmings

by phil2264 , Mar 28 '00
Pros: Absolutely none.
Cons: Ignorance, violence, deliberate distortion
This ad is nothing like Apple's 1984 ad which was a dramatic metaphor showing how computers would free us from mental slavery, not the opposite as so many feared. This ad would probably be a disaster to Epinions, much as the Lemmings commercial was to...

Good Commercial

by laurel8 , Mar 14 '00
Pros: Get's your attention
Cons: None
I think that it is definitely a "get your attention" kind of commercial and I really like it. Jay really gets his point across and I also totally agree with him. I know allot of people have major problems with this commercial because of the...

A HUGE TARGET

by window-pains , Mar 15 '00
Pros: Humor in a jugular vain
Cons: real player sucks, get Quicktime
This has got to be the funniest thing I have seen since Letterman's stupid people tricks.
What an awesome way to draw attention to the almighty iMac.
Just as the GREAT OZZY said when he bit off the head of a bird " Bad publicity is still...

Lose it

by mmcbs , Mar 16 '00
Pros: None
Cons: Use of gun, Mac trashing, cold.
No, this is not the image Epinions needs to be sending out to the public in its television ad campaign. Hand gun use is an emotionally charged political issue, and the use of material of this nature should be absolutely avoided in television...

The concept was silly and wasteful.

by catanz , Mar 15 '00
Pros: Safety issues were addressed adequately.
Cons: Overall premise is stupid. Why waste all that money?
As a responsible gun owner, I like the fact that he is at a range using safety equipment to shoot the fire out of his IMAC. However, I still don't like the concept of solving silly problems using guns. His review was clear and to the point but the...

Politically incorrect

by VickiG , Mar 14 '00
Pros: can't see any
Cons: Terrible timing. Wouldn't touch this one with a ten foot pole dressed in armor made of gold
I truly cannot imagine buying an IMac, however, in light of recent events regarding firearms, I would suggest you refrain from showing this commercial.

Normally I do not give a flip about politically correct, but this is a very charged issue...

Target audience

by Knightly , Jul 20 '00
Pros: Attention Getting
Cons: Violent, Misinformative
I thought your commercial was very innovative. That being said, I would like to discuss target briefly. You seem to have picked one that you felt strongly about, which you then go on to point out all the wrong things about. The point of the iMac isn't...

iMac misconceptions

by BruceCAIT , Apr 10 '00
Pros: Shooting is great sport
Cons: More emotional than factual
After having been an IBM employee working in field service for over 21 years and having landed in a support role in a primarily Mac shop 2 years ago, I can understand the basis for this commercial. It is based on fear and ignorance.
The fear would...

Too much violence all ready...

by shawnpaul , Mar 15 '00
Pros: Amusing
Cons: Promotes freedom of violent actions
Actually, I think the commercial is quite amusing. But, I'm afraid that there is enough violence today, especially involving firearms. I know what I was like when I was a teenager (really hasn't been all that long ago :>) and I let outside...

This is a keeper, i could write a long opinion, but...

by OmegAlien , Mar 16 '00
Pros: To the point, showz there are a wide variety of opinions
Cons: notta ! KEEP IT !
Well, i like it, it showz how wide a variety of pplz there are writing opinions on different things. It will also get the attention of the mainstreme media, as it is so paranoid about fire arms, and itz become such a big issue. This means the commercial...

If he has a gun, he must be a reviewer

by boxcar , Mar 15 '00
Pros: good presentation
Cons: noisy
I believe that the commercial will be effective for several reasons:
first of all it's attention getting. Secondly, it's personable-it's obviously his truthful opinion, as this is mine. Thirdly, it's a logical approach about something that, many...

Gratuitous violence...

by aam914 , Mar 19 '00
Pros: cute
Cons: promotes violence
True, this commercial will probably make people want to check out the website but at what cost? I don't see what purpose this gratuitous violence serves. Like it or not, it promotes gun violence -- if you don't like something, shoot it up. I think we as...

don't run this commercial

by nemison , Mar 15 '00
Pros: got my attention
Cons: not relevant to product, too violent of a focus
I think that in light of the recent violence created
in this country by the misuse of guns, this commercial
would really turn off a lot of potential consumers. I
think it's a poor use of creativity.

I just think that epinions...
