Pros: Looks terribly cool.
Cons: Support service is positively abysmal.
Summary: While my iMac is now functioning reasonably well, my experience with this supposedly take-it-out-of-the-box-and-go computer and the "support" staff at Apple cause me to not recommend this. Just like a 4-star restaurant: if the food is excellent but the ... read more

Pros: Shooting solidified Jay's points
Cons: Why didn't he shoot the Beanie Baby?
Summary: Jay's commercial was insightful with spoken facts; it was responsible by showing excellent gun safety (Jay did not bring the iMac out to a local garbage transfer station behind the railroad tracks and set it up with some glass bottles); and let's face ... read more

Pros: None. A poor attempt..
Cons: Where do i start?
Summary: So, why do you want to degrade the iMac. Simple, you're scared of it. The people who created this add are simply scared that a company like Apple, who might i say basically invented the personal computer, are beginning to find fame and fortune once ... read more

Pros: cutsy ad if you can overlook the gun
Cons: some people will be put off
Summary: Just today Sept. 13, 2000 as I was doing my office drone duties I noticed a magazine "smartbusinessmag.com" The cover said "dot.com scams" I couldn't resist I had to read it. The first thing I noticed was the word epinions.com & ... read more

Pros: Scars "epinions.com" into my mind
Cons: Sends the wrong message completely. Equates Epinions.com with guns and violence.
Summary: This was one of the first commercials I've ever seen for Epinions.com. Frankly, before I saw this commercial, I was very interested in what people told me about Epinions.com. However, this commercial nearly turned me away from this site completely. I ... read more

Pros: Attention Getting
Cons: Violent, Misinformative
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: It was kind of funny.
Cons: It made the reviewer seem biased.
Summary: While I agree that Jay has some points that are completely valid, I also think that this commercial made him out to be a person who is ani-macintosh.
Shooting the iMac was also kind of out of line and not totally appropriate. This, to me, ... read more

Pros: positive education for future generation
Cons: -gruesome details on people who have died from these effects-
Summary: I'll admit I've seen some pretty funny commercials in my time, but I'd have to say that anti-drug-smoking-drink ads make you think-they aren't the "best" commercials because they show the real facts,the people who have been killed, the ... read more

Pros: When it's removed from the site, that will be a Pro!
Cons: Don't get me started!
Summary: Remember a few years back when some marketing genius decided to blow up the clown on a comercial? They probably thought it was cute. They probably thought that it would boost sales. They were wrong. I remember hearing stories about children having ... read more

Pros: Makes people think and is an example of what Epinion is about.
Cons: Makes people think and is an example of what Epinion is about.
Summary: After reading several of the opinions I decided to ask my 8 year old son what he thought of the ad. Here is what he said:
"I thought it was funny but the shooting parts were bad"
Why where the shooting parts bad? ... read more

Pros: Funny! Cool
Cons: Gun (not HORRIBLE!)
Summary: I first saw the ad from the site using Realplayer, because I have never seen it on the tv. Right away I liked the commercial!
First off, I like the fact that the Epinions.com guys use an ACTUAL epinion and the ACTUAL person who wrote it! I ... read more

Pros: A clever idea
Cons: Too slow and looks like it was made by an amateur
Summary: This was a brilliant concept for a commercial. It's clever and attention grabbing while still saying something about the product (Epinions). It's just edgy enough to seem cool to our target audience (the computer savvy, usually twenties and younger) ... read more

Pros: Funny commercial
Cons: I wanted to see more detail of the damage done to the IMAC
Summary: This is a great commercial. This isn't some sort of statement commercial that is secretly funded by the NRA. Lighten up! I actually learned stuff about the IMAC that helps me decide whether or not I would like to buy one. Epinions isn't the place for ... read more

Pros: None
Cons: Terrible Review of a Great Computer, Disgusting Commercial
Summary: I do not like this commercial in the least. The iMac is an awesome computer in my opinion (in fact, it SWITCHED my opinion from PC to Mac), and it is dirt cheap, too. For $1000 bucks or less, you can't get a decent PC. With the iMac, you get service, ... read more

Cons: might be found offensive but that peaks interest too (win - win)

Pros: none
Cons: in poor taste
Summary: This commercial is in extremely poor taste. I'm sure the reason this is even being discussed has to do with all of the recent school shootings.
Add to that the flurry of livery cab drivers who have been shot during their tours in New York ... read more
