iMac

Pros: Funny Way of Choosing PCs Over iMacs
Cons: Will Cause Many Anti-Violence in People

The objective of this commercial is to sell the product, as is the objective to any product. This isn't saying go out and buy a gun and shoot people, its simply a commercial poking fun at the iMac and telling people to stick with PCs for certain reasons....

Pros: advertises epinions.com
Cons: violence is to strong for the point

I reviewed this commercial and was disturbed that epinions would consider running this kind of ad. I have no qualms about people owning guns. "To each his own" to quote an old cliche`. However, I think there is enough violence on television. I...

Pros: none
Cons: wrong message

First the broader not commercial issues, then I obey the rules. Sorry, but this is a special case.

The ad is funny, in a way, but it is also horrifying. And what is horrifying isnt that a gun is being used (I know its a free country and...

Pros: eye and ear protection
Cons: gun, concept, negativity

I am shocked, in disbelief and down right upset. To think this type of commercial would even be considered with all that is happening around each and every one of us, is beyond me.

GUNS CAN SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS...Gee, great message delivered...

Pros: Extreme content that will divide the audience into two distinctive camps
Cons: Primitive; contradictory; condones violence; waste of time and money

Which agency came up with this ad campaign and which Epinions executive approved the development of this ad direction? A startup company should use its limited resources more efficiently and effectively.

Despite the violence with gun play,...

Pros: Fresh look, amusing, honest opinion, showing (somewhat) responsible use of a gun
Cons: typical amercian wastefulness, use of a gun, shameless Mac bashing

The one comment I have about showing gun use in this commercial, is that it is at least in a shooting range, being used properly and under supervision. Showing a guy shooting an iMac off of a fence would be a little worse...

As an adult who...

Pros: Great shock value. It appeals to our frustrations.
Cons: Needs a better camera view of the target.

How many of you have had a particular appliance give you so much trouble that you wanted to smash it? To take out your frustrations on it? I know I have. In fact I had a cassette deck when I was a teen that always ate tapes. It ate an irreplaceable tape...

Pros: none
Cons: everything

I'd rather see this guy in a jungle setting shooting beanie babies.

Someone shooting at a computer because of their dislike for it is not the point you want to get across.

Do you realize how many gun law people are gonna be writing...

Pros: Catchy, opinionated, funny
Cons: Cruelty to Beanies?

Why is there controversy in airing this commercial? AIR IT!

Whether you like the iMac or not, you have to admit that this commercial catches your attention and shows how truly opinionated people can be about the products...

Pros: Funny! Memorable!
Cons: It didn't show him shoot the Beanie Baby

Oh my goodness! This is completely hilarious. A catchy, funny, memorable commercial such as this one, is what Epinions.com needs to get more recognition and more hits to the site.

Some people say this endorses gun violence. Bull! It...

Pros: none
Cons: too long, boring, ineffective, unnecessary violence,

Before I get on my soapbox about why I think this commercial should NEVER air, let me tell you why I wouldn't watch it even if it didn't promote senseless violence. (oops--i promised i'd wait on that, didn't i?!?) It's boring. It's too long and I...

Pros: Attention getting
Cons: Untrustworthy, poor audio

This commercial undermines itself by saying one thing and doing another.

Our reviewer, Jay, gives a thoughtful review of the iMac. However, he does this while shooting the iMac. The action of shooting is so strong, so negative, that we...

Pros: Memorable
Cons: Apt to provoke controversy

In this day and age, if your ad doesn't get noticed, there's not much point in having one at all. Think back to the ads you remember: are they the one with the hamster getting shot out of the cannon, the kids talking about how when they grow up they want...

Pros: Everyone deserves to express an opinion
Cons: Not the best way to express it

This commercial left me reeling with some deep feelings. First of all, there are better ways to express dislike of a product, namely the iMac. Maybe just write those comments down? I think it's distasteful to shoot the computer full of bullets, one at...

Pros: funniest television ad I have seen in a long time
Cons: People will be offended. (Wait... is this is a bad thing?)

This has to be the funniest television ad I have seen in a long time. My hat is off to ljrunner for his creativity and style. Nice Job, Sir!

If this ad is shown, it is sure to get a lot of news coverage.
People will be offended,...
