iMac

Pros: Promotes the site
Cons: Promotes it badly

I'll say one thing about the iMac commercial, it grabs your attention. A man with a gun, blatantly expressing his thoughts on the iMac computer while shooting it with his weapon. I myself didn't like or agree with his opinion at all. Not because I...

Pros: Can't see a positive...
Cons: I see a sea (of criticism swelling)...

Glamorizing gun violence as a legitimate form of expression towards even an inanimate object is incredibly moronic.

"Lighten up," you say, "It's a joke!"

"Wise up," I respond, "Victims aren't...

Pros: fun, powerful, good representation of e-pinions
Cons: It probably won't be shown anywhere further than this web site

Shhhhhhhh! Let me let you in on a little secret. Techs beat on computers. Not just computers. Printers, monitors, telephones, washing machines, anything remotely technical and breakable has fallen into the hands of a stressed computer technician at...

Pros: good dialogue, decent acting
Cons: gun violence

I don't know much about the imac. I don't own one and I don't plan to own one. But there are people out there who do and there are probably even people who like them. All of this is beside the point, however, because I really don't care about imac. I...

Pros: At least they explain the man is a munitions expert...
Cons: Wrong thinking people may get the wrong ideas...

In this country there are still too many communities still stinging from the effects of violence to endorse this commercial. I understand that being unhappy with a computer may cause one to want to resort to violence, but demonstrating a munitions...

Pros: This ad helps me point out idiocy in society at large
Cons: The chimps out there actually VOTE.

This whole furor is incredibly naive. Much like the "Cop Killer" debates when Body Count released their album, this raging debate about guns is sweeping the nations for its 15 minutes of fame. Something we can all weep and sigh and pretend to...

Pros: Great points made, good filming, great use of imagination
Cons: may be offensive to some families

Anything that adds a little reality to the world of fluff we have all been exposed to day after day is like a breath of fresh air. Kudos to you, Jay!

Commercials are suppose to grab your attention, make you laugh, make you cry, or just make...

Pros: gets attention
Cons: serves to undermine the epinions mission; will result in a lot of copycats

If epinions runs this ad, I'm deleting all my epinions, pulling my affiliate sites, and leaving the site altogether. While this kind of negativity is attention getting and always draws people in, it serves to delineate, divide and distract us from...

Pros: It will capture people's attention, that's for sure
Cons: The beanie babie about to get shot will get you letters

Like my title says, yes, you WILL get letters against this commercial. Especially in light of the 6 year old being shot. While I liked the commercial, I think it would be best run at night, and not during the day when kids will see it. Especially the...

Pros: funny, well-done
Cons: hypersensitive PC types will hate it

As a person who hates Macs in general, I found this to be a funny commercial, which definitely draws the attention of the viewer.

It has been pointed out by many an epinions writer that guns on TV, and in society, in any form are bad. While...

Pros: Hilarious, and to the point
Cons: People with no sense of humor are easily offended

After reading many negative reviews of what I consider a very creative, hilarious advertisement, I have but one thing to say to the politically correct, stoic party-poopers of today's society: Lighten Up!!!

In this epinion I will...

Pros: shows people they can write any type of review (bad,good) on any subject possible
Cons: some people are scared of guns, but it is unjustified

This commercial has received some bad comments because of the use of a handgun, but I feel these fears are unfounded. He is not shooting at someone holding an imac, or even shooting at an imac outdoors. J is in a controlled environment which has the...

Pros: Funny and clever
Cons: Potentially very offensive and even harmful

The television commercial: Jay, an Epinions member, offers a visual review of a product with which he is familiar and very dissatisfied: his iMac computer. He effectively uses few words, dry humor and...bullets to drive home his point.

I...

Pros: funny, to the point, will peak interest in the site
Cons: might be found offensive but that peaks interest too (win - win)

Oh man, this commercial rules! You have GOT TO AIR THIS its absolutely the funniest thing ive seen in a long time (i hate mac's incessantly!)

If i had never heard of Epinions I would DEFINITELY check it out after seeing that commercial. Just...

Pros: it wasn't two minutes long
Cons: ePinions has lost my respect

This is exactly what I figured would happen. ePinions asks for video reviews of products, and what do we get? Members coming up with original (and to them, at least) hilarious ways to destroy things...be it a cellular phone under a car's tires or a...
