Pros: Accurately describes iMac's shortcomings Cons: Disgusting and irresponsible use of firearms
Can someone please explain to me the entertainment value of watching a mindless adolescent (or is that a man with the mind of an adolescent) shoot and destroy a new computer just because he doesn't like it?
Seriously, real guns kill innocent...

Pros: Get A Mac Cons: Make A Sandwich
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...

Pros: funny, eye ctaching Cons: some people might have problem with the gun bit
I love it. This is the kind of commercial that grabs your attention with visual icons people recognize. Who isn't going to notice this add and want to visit the site?! Who cares that there is a gun?! Turn on the news and you see the same things -- at...

Pros: clever approach Cons: negative connotations....irresponsible
While the iMac commercial is clever and certainly gets across what the reviewer has to say about the product, the climate in this country is not conducive to positive feelings and comments from a viewing public bruised by the events of the recent past....

Pros: Sparked debate about Epinions Cons: It represents all that is bad about marketing
Jay I read your "clarification" and feel I must respond to it.I’m gonna get a little heavy here, but I want you to understand this isn’t personal and that I salute you for standing up for what you believe, the problem is what you believe is...

Pros: Funny Cons: Not a shred of technical expertise employed in imparting his unbiased review leads me to think he just thought he would like to shoot an iMac
I think that this commercial is hilarious. But I can't recommend that Epinions use it. It is funny, but not in a "lets promote our site" kind of way. The Cat-Wranglers, that was funny in that way.
My biggest beef with this...

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.
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...

Pros: creative, tells about epinions at the end Cons: video quality, audio quality, meaning, guns
I think that the concept is very original. However, the verbage and logic weren't compelling. I don't think I would buy an Imac with the limited information he provided. I also feel that with the recent gun control issues, this ad may be a turn...

Pros: grabs your attention Cons: so...short
This commercial is great; bold and in your face. Why is it that everyone is concentrating on the gun and not the computer, which is the subject of the commercial?? Maybe because the media has gotten all the sheep to think the same. Great job, j; I...

Pros: I don't like MAC Cons: The use of a weapon
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...

Pros: features an iMac... Cons: ...getting shot.
It's true that epinions.com is based upon just that, opinions, but this commercial has gone where all the business executives went in Apple's 1985 Lemmings commercial, over the edge. And my prediction is that this commercial will have about as much...

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: Truth about Macs Cons: Ticks off mac users, shown in ad opinions
Word for word I agree with what he says. The iMac idea was great, great marketing not great engineering. Its success shows how important packaging is in the world today. If you're looking for raw power you've come to the wrong place, try a coppermine or...

Pros: Clear, clever, concise Cons: I didn't see any
I laughed out loud at this commercial! It was crystal clear that this guy does not like the iMac. Who among us has not at one time or another wanted to make a point so clearly? (Choice of weapon optional) Really, be honest.
There was no mistaking...

Pros: there are no pros to this ad. Cons: promoting guns along with destruction
I'm sorry i dont get what they are trying to promote here imac or guns i believe that guns should not be in comercials. If you want to show how an imac is affective or defective you should not use a gun to do it. Come on now lets think about this what...
