by RONinPC  - Top 500, Mar 10 '00
Pros: All the right stuff
Cons: people who cannot get past the gun
Ok... forget the whole handgun issue, I think this ad is great... First off, you got my attention right away. Secondly, I learned something from it (I did not know imacs had no floppy). Third? I see that epinions tell it like it is. Finally, the beanie...

Pros: Bold, not afraid to tell it like it is
Cons: May offend the Mac users
My impression of the IMAC commercial was that it is several things all at once:
-Interesting
-Unique
-Somewhat Shocking
-Possibly Offensive to Some (particularly those who love the IMAC!)
-Kind of Funny

Pros: extremely funny attention grabber
Cons: none
I love this commercial. I can almost say it is my favorite one, and am sad to see it wont be aired at this time. Why do I like it so much? I can relate to it. Everyone I know at one time or another has expressed a threat toward their computer. When...

Pros: NONE
Cons: extremely disturbing, telling kids to shoot what they don't like.
I plead with Epinions not to run this ad. As a parent that has had her children go through a "lock down" at school because of a gun threat. And as a parent that lives very close to the Springfield, OR school where children were killed, I ask...

Pros: Funny
Cons: Offends mac people
I cant believe the rating is only 47% recomended! I viewed this commercial and loved it. This guy uses the typical view style of most people. The people who leave epinions against the commercial are probably the ones who own a iMac or a mac. That is...

Pros: Interesting, attention getting, makes you think about Epinions
Cons: not for viewing during the kiddy hour
I think that this commercial was extremely successful in its objective - it made the viewer sit up & take notice.
Would I want my five year old to watch this? Probably not. A lot of my concern would be: When will this commercial be...

Pros: gets your attention, makes good points about product
Cons: could turn off viewers, make Epinions writers seem a little nuts
I can see the humor in this commercial, and I'll bet there are few of us who haven't been so frustrated with a bad product that we've fantasized about blasting a few rounds into it.
Still, I worry that this commercial will make us Epinion...

Pros: Creative, Makes clear point about epinions.com
Cons: Should not use handguns in ads
This is a great commercial...it is creative, it makes the point, and it ends with a subtle selling message. It isn't annoying, and it is entertaining and funny.
But unfortunately, this commercial should not run...at least not now. With daily...

by 32_Footsteps - Top 1000, Mar 10 '00
Pros: Funny Beanie Baby mention
Cons: Touchy gun subject, gun is too distracting to commercial as a whole.
Hmm... is this the commercial we really want representing Epinions? I don't know about that. First, there is the issue about guns. Is it right? Is it wrong? Epinions is opening up a quagmire when they use it in the ad. My own opinion on them isn't...

Pros: funny, honest
Cons: audiences lack of sense of humor
Ok, I watched it, I read the epinions, and watched it again. I fail to see how this commercial is promoting reckless gun use. Could it be the open playground Jay is in while he is shooting? ... his advertisement of the pistol he is using? ...that...

by Dosite1 , Mar 10 '00
Pros: The ending is kind of funny.
Cons: Too negative in concept. It might be over the top in some viewers opinion.
I just don't like this commercial. It has it's moments, but overall I think that it may offend the iMac fans and the anti-gun violence people. It is not something that could easily be explained to a young child who might have questions about why the...

by mommy2jonny98 , Apr 12 '00
Pros: shoot up a computer, something I sometimes wish I could do
Cons: left me wondering what epinions is, not enough info about our site
Well I watched the Breast Pump commercial. I hated it, but decided to give Epinions another chance to earn back my respect. So I figured I should watch another commercial before I totally decided that maybe Epinions should give up and not make...

by BeckLuther , Mar 17 '00
Pros: funny
Cons: way too controversial in light of gun issue in society
Yeah, sure, it's funny to see someone take out their gun and blow away the object of their frustration one bullet at a time. But, the only message that came across to me in this ad was "if you don't like something, it's ok to shoot it!"

by Andrew_Hicks - Top 500, Mar 14 '00
Pros: Attention-grabber that appeals to a skeptical, hard-to-reach demographic
Cons: Not for families -- but, hey, not everything is
I watched this commercial last Saturday, completely unaware of the internal controversy it had caused among members of Epinions. It wasn't until last night that I realized there were almost 150 reviews of the commercial posted, and that at least half of...

Pros: shock value
Cons: not responsible at all
Before I go on about this I want to make it clear that I'm not attempting to stage a gun debate. I don't have enough information to give you a fight for either side of the issue. No, I don't own a gun(and we all know that this commercial has the...
