Pros: Beanie Baby ending is funny, I guess...
Cons: Unintelligent shock value
Summary: This commercial is TRASH!!! I recognize that the idea of these commercials is to get member opinions out there. But what is an incredibly negative ad like this supposed to accomplish? Pretty much, it seems as if the creator of this commercial has a ... read more

Pros: Humor gets the point across; Furby finish is great; it was fun to see what happens when the iMac gets shot;
Cons: Guns can't begin to solve the problems of the world; guns don't kill iMacs, people kill iMacs; a larger caliber would have been nice!
Summary: I like humor as much as the next guy...maybe even more than iMac fans, but let's be careful out of the gate! iMacs shouldn't be shot...the developers should be mouse-whipped if they have promised something the iMac doesn't deliver.
So far, ... read more

Pros: none
Cons: the whole thing
Summary: My opinion on this commercial is that is a pretty poor attempt to show how this one man feels about iMac's. It doesn't show both sides of the coin. It also left me wondering what this proved? Does it prove that the iMac isn't bullet proof? I seriously ... read more

Pros: My son liked it, I trust my son, that he knows the frustrations and humor with computers, more than I do.
Cons: Epinions.com should talk about why someone would use there site.
Summary: Ok,Here it go's again, I don't know if my grammar will be any better, but I will try to explain my point of view about the TV ad and TRY (sorry about that) to be more clear.
from what I read, this is about Epinions.com wanting to use this ad ... read more

Pros: Was being realistic
Cons: The gun
Summary: The commercial is a typical bashing of product. Why would this not be acceptable when he was just stating the obvious. Not one person in this world cannot say that they weren't tempted to harm a computer for not doing its promised function. He acted ... read more

Pros: cute
Cons: promotes violence
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Get A Mac
Cons: Make A Sandwich
Summary: Did this guy eat paint chips as a kid? Maybe he stood in the middle of a field and stared at the sun too long. PowerPC chips are what performance is all about! Less power consumption, less heat and after all, they are more powerful comparatively to any ... read more

Pros: I don't like MAC
Cons: The use of a weapon
Summary: I am not a MAC fan at all, but this was a little over the edge using a weapon to destroy anything. With all the violence that has taken place with weapons in the last two years why give another example of what to do with your "Fathers gun" How ... read more
