Pros: Everyone deserves to express an opinion
Cons: Not the best way to express it
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Who's your Daddy, iMac?!
Cons: iMac not fully destroyed, left unfulfilled by Beanie Baby teaser.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: opinion understood!
Cons: The use of a gun!
Summary: Well this commercial is obviously intended for adult eyes only but children will be viewing this! Children watch more television than adults most of the time and they really don't need to see someone shooting up a computer with a gun! I think ... read more

Pros: Funny, attention grabbing
Cons: Should have used more ammo...
Summary: I haven't laughed this hard at a commercial since I saw the "Superfriends" parody of the Budwieser "Whazzup?" commercial...
This just cracks me up... probably because I'm a lot like Jay with regards to my feelings on the ... read more

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
Summary: I think your video epinion rocks! You really should not be harassed about how this commercial. I mean, you took all the safety precautions possible. You had hearing protection, safety glasses, and you were at a real shooting range. I think you just meant ... read more

Pros: It's going to get attention.
Cons: Maybe not the most honorable piece of film footage
Summary: The prompt right above this screen is telling me to focus on the commercial and not the broader issues. I'm trying here. Bear with me and I promise not to digress, too much, that is.
As far as commercials go, this certainly is an attention ... read more

Pros: Absolutely
Cons: none
Summary: Hilarious! How many products have you ever bought that didn't perform nearly as well as you'd hoped? Or, had some little annoying problems? Jay points out some annoying little things that others have noticed too, stating his opinion, or, epinion, in a ... read more

Pros: Strong controversial opinions expressed
Cons: Gun oponents won't be happy
Summary: First off, I'd like to say that this is by far the best of the comercials. Why? Because it is controversial. Because this is a STRONG opinion.
What good is having an opinion about a product if nobody disagrees with you. If everyone felt the ... read more

Pros: iMac takes a bullet
Cons: No close-range shotgun blast to finish it off
Summary: Personally I was amused by the commercial. It brought back fond memories of summer afternoons spent in my best friend Ira's garage with a couple of target pistols and a collection of G.I. Joe and Playmobile paraphenalia. Don't get me wrong. I loved ... read more

Pros: None
Cons: Guns have no role in society
Summary: Guns are bad.
There is no role for guns in our society. Epinions should not suggest that there is any such role. I am very much offended that Epinions creates any connection between legitimate reviewing of products and firearms.

Pros: Funny, true, leave no room for doubt.
Cons: The fact an iMac has to be in it.
Summary: Man, I'm so glad in this world of political correctness, someone has the brass smalls to reach out with various projectiles of hot lead and tell it like it is. We ALL want to blow the mouse away with a .45 because it doesn't work. We ALL want to take a ... read more

Pros: fun, powerful, good representation of e-pinions
Cons: It probably won't be shown anywhere further than this web site
Summary: Shhhhhhhh! Let me let you in on a little secret. Techs beat on computers. Not just computers. Printers, monitors, telephones, washing machines, anything remotely technical and breakable has fallen into the hands of a stressed computer technician at ... read more

Cons: Promotes violence, degrades the members.
Summary: This is my second viewing of Epinion's commercials and frankly, I am no where near impressed!
Before I give my opinion of what I just saw, let me take a moment to explain what the commercial is about for those who haven't seen it, or perhaps ... read more

Pros: Not a single one.
Cons: Everything from start to finish
Summary: I can not believe that you considered airing a commercial promoting gun violence. Even if you do not air this commercial, you promote guns and violence by having it on your website. How many people have to be injured or die before we wake up. There is ... read more

Pros: Shock Factor Would Motivate Many People to Check Out Epinions
Cons: The Inevitable Bad Press That Will Follow the Showing of This Advertisement
Summary: Epinions is a relatively young internet business. It has a loyal following and is steadily gaining recognition and visits to its website. To help spur the growth, Epinions has now decided to make some television advertisements.

Pros: Absolutely none.
Cons: Ignorance, violence, deliberate distortion
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: I felt that the review was funny as well as informative
Cons: He could have included another two downfalls of the utter crapulance named iMac
Summary: After viewing the "I Hate iMac" ad, I not only felt a bit of laughter bubbling up, but I also felt I understood the reviewer's point. Unfortunately, many of the "concerned" out there are too ignorant to understand what he is trying to ... read more

Pros: Concise, understandable, funny
Cons: Too cutting-edge for mundane folk
Summary: I think this was a brilliant commercial, in the same vein as the Nike Air/Bungee commercial that aired all of once before it was pulled. It explains exactly what's wrong with an iMac in layman's terms, and it has a visual kick that's genuinely funny. ... read more
