Pros: Lures people into Epinions, Makes Epinions stand out, Offers a release, Funny, Feels genuine, Controversy sells
Cons: People get too worked up about things
Zounds, this ad is an attention getter like no other. First off let me set something straight. This ad is not supposed to represent the epinions community per se, it is supposed to LURE people into the epinions site. That is what the objective of...

Pros:
Cons:
There's a difference between getting someones attention and getting someone to do what you want them to do. As far as I can tell your commercial and your opinions have only gotten peoples attention. From what I can tell of this web site, its purpose is...

Pros: NONE
Cons: Disgusting
I'm totally at a loss for words. Epinions, or is it a supermarket tabloid? When do we get to view the alien having a human baby? And be sure not to let me miss the one where Elvis drops by and signs autographs! And perhaps after Elvis is done signing...

Pros: Gets message across
Cons: Supports Gun Violence(im sure they had no intention too)
What does Microsoft have to say about this?
First of all, this commercial does get its message across. But after all that fuss everyone has been making about gun violence Epinions.com is gonna air this? I say NO WAY!. Ok, yea its funny...

Pros: Gets you attention
Cons: Would not visit the site
The ad sure gets your attention, but does it lure you to the site? Make you think that you can trust the reviews on the site? You'll sure never mix this up with Consumer Reports. And, based on this ad, I don't think you would confuse the site with one...

Pros: Catchy attention getting approach
Cons: Confusing review leaving you without real information on the product other than violence.
The approach Jay took was definitely attention-getting however, the opinion he is trying to give seems to lose something in this approach. I get mixed emotions about this commercial trying to decide the real meaning of the ad. Many people will probably...

Pros: Got my attention
Cons: Comments on a no-longer-shipping version of the iMac; liked only by senseless Mac haters
Great commercial if you're looking to attract all of the Mac haters out there (and that's about all you'll get). I can see the opinions these people will give now: "This product sucks!", followed up by no reasoning or facts whatsoever. This...

Pros: True
Cons: Waste of bullets
Finally! Proof that I am not the only one who hates Macs. I have been forced to use the other kinds, and they were so bad, I wouldn't even dream of using an iMac unless my life depended on it. In fact, from what I've heard, the iMac should be called an...

Pros: No pros.
Cons: Heavy cons
If I saw the guy shooting the computer, I wouldn't stay around for the rest of the ad. We have had far too many "solve problems by shooting" solutions in this country. I would not buy the product, and I would tell my friends not to purchase...

Pros: Beanie Baby ending is funny, I guess...
Cons: Unintelligent shock value
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...

Pros: none
Cons: Exploiting violence to brand a dot.com
This commercial represents just another internet company trying to garner attention it doesn't deserve. By advertising in a sensational way, epinions sets themselves right in line with the hamster-shooting nightmare of Outpost.com and it's brain-free...

Pros: grabs your attention
Cons: too controversial?
Wow. If aired, this ad will be remembered for a long time, both positively and negatively.
Focus on the commercial not broader issues. Okay I’ll try to, but a lot of people won’t like the ad specifically because of the “broader...

by forkids - Top 500, Mar 10 '00
Pros: Seems like a nice enough reviewer
Cons: Shock value not humorous, too sarcastic and crossed the line
This ad for the iMac was my pick for the least effective example Epinions.com could use in its ad campaign. Please say it isn't so. Yes, the reviewer got his point across, yes, iMacs might be the worst system in the world (I don't know though, I've...

Pros: NONE
Cons: teaching society that guns are ok
In light of all the violence in today's society how can you even consider airing a commercial that has a person SHOOTING at a computer just because it doesn't do what he wants it to? Why not let a 6 year old shoot a schoolmate because he doesn't agree...

Pros: No one seemed to get hurt in the making of this commercial... except an iMac
Cons: What's the point?
The first thoughts that popped into my head while watching this commercial:
What?
Huh?
The point of this is...?
He's allowed to carry a gun?
Does he shoot everything he doesn't like?
So, a guy rattling off...
