iMac

Pros: Looks terribly cool.
Cons: Support service is positively abysmal.

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...

Pros: Shooting solidified Jay's points
Cons: Why didn't he shoot the Beanie Baby?

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...

Pros: None. A poor attempt..
Cons: Where do i start?

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...

Pros: cutsy ad if you can overlook the gun
Cons: some people will be put off

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 &...

Pros: Scars "epinions.com" into my mind
Cons: Sends the wrong message completely. Equates Epinions.com with guns and violence.

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...

Pros: Attention Getting
Cons: Violent, Misinformative

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...

Pros: It was kind of funny.
Cons: It made the reviewer seem biased.

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,...

Pros: positive education for future generation
Cons: -gruesome details on people who have died from these effects-

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...

Pros: When it's removed from the site, that will be a Pro!
Cons: Don't get me started!

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...

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.

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?
...

Pros: Funny! Cool
Cons: Gun (not HORRIBLE!)

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...

Pros: bad commercial, and bad person
Cons: none

Hello. I am writing this on vbehalf of the hundreds of upset epinioners.

Do you know why they stopped showing people smoking cigarettes on T.V.? Because children and teenagers thought the people smoking looked cool and they wanted to be like...

Pros: good way to get attention
Cons: not the iMac

I didn't like the commercial (product wise),not because of it's execution but for the product.I am an avid mac lover.Yet the way the commercial was made was good.It accomplished it's mission,people watched the commercial.I wonder how many people say the...

Pros: none
Cons: all violent

This is a very violant ad! Do you know why they stopped showing people smoking cigarettes on T.V.? Because children and teenagers thought the people smoking looked cool and they wanted to be like them. Let Me Repeat Myself More and more children and...

Pros: A clever idea
Cons: Too slow and looks like it was made by an amateur

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)...
