The ads look much better at TV than presented via this thread. The lady is very sweet.

So I just finished up watching the super bowl at our apartment. We had 13-15 people in front of the tv at all times, and that iTunes ad was one of the few that no-one said anything about. It didn't strike anyone. It was simply too dull and blah.

However, I was quick to jump up and talk about how stupid the Napster one was ... I had to defend Apple

Subject: Why the hate?

I happen to be one of the black guys in the commercial and I have to agree a little; two different scratching shots seems a little overkill. I don't think the actors reaction time seemed forced (I'm biased )Nobody knows how it's going to be cut until it airs. I am just glad to make the cut.

I gotta tell some of you guys. I guess it is just not possible to have a critism without the race card coming into play. This is not a "hip hop spot", it's a demographic spot. (Kids and young adults 13-30 who watch sports and love music) The most popular form of music for that demo is hip hop and rock. They are playing towards their demo group. You are not going to see, any Fran Sinatra, or Patsy Cline on an itunes superbowl ad.

Also, who ever said this was about owning a mac? I could have sworn this was a pepsi+itunes spot. You don't need a mac for itunes and now that they sell ipods at walmart, everyone will have one.

MAC is an entertainment indstry standard (video, photo and music) so I assure you blacks and whites, and everybody else are using macs. Protools, Final Cut, Logic, Photoshop. Everyone uses mac. I happen to love my powerbook.

just my 2 cents.

Subject: don't hate!

me being one of the kids in the commercial beg to differ with your statement. what the director wanted was "real" kids and thats what he got. to ua we weren't acting, we were kids with the same issue coming together just to be able to experience something like that. it was a world wind experience and i'm sorry if you didn't enjoy it.

Let me rephrase. I liked the IDEA of the first ad, but I thought the kids they picked were annoying. I'm not sure what the right choice would have been, but they weren't it.

I think you have to be black to enjoy all the rappin and scratchin. Typical advertising, how many hip hop people can afford a mac?




Wow. No white people like rap, and black people are all poor.

We're on a roll today!

Subject: You idiot.

To the guy who asked, "how many hip hop people can afford a mac?" Good thing you don't work for Sean John or Mark Ecko, otherwise you'd ask "How many hip hop people can afford these clothes?" A few outfits equal the price of a computer. Besides, you don't need a mac to use itunes.
