I've had to edit this so as not to offend the guy below who can't take a joke or apology.

I didn't like the ad shown above, visually it's good, what it says is good, but it's very American, and I don't mean it in a bad way, some ads can be run here in the UK without re-dubbing the audio, but this one wouldn't work as well. That's not a critique of anyone, or any country, just an observation.

Oh it was, all it needed was kids singing in the background, cheesy. Maybe it's a cultural difference. :-)

Now THAT's a good one, note the look in his eyes in the last second, it says a lot.

i wouldn't call one of the greatest literally minds of modern times cheesy or vomit enducing - but then one mans art is another mans trash i guess... then theres those who just don't 'get it' or even try to get it...

the text is a perfect fit for apples own ethos - the steve jobs talk at stanford recently (which iteself carries quotes) echoes a lot of what its about at its root.

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them; disagree with them; glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

stay hungry, stay foolish....

Oh dear, I can see you're trying to pick an arguement. I wasn't talking about what was being said, rather the cheesy way in which it was presented, which you've missed. Certain styles will only go down well in given countries, while being laughed at in others.

Heavens above! Are you being serious? you want to argue over an old ad? If so, perhaps you should find the appropriate forum to debate it in, and someone who actually cares to debate it with. :-)

By the way, didn't you ever learn as a child that it's not nice to be rude.

erm...o...k...?...

'...Oh dear, I can see you're trying to pick an arguement...'

calm down - its only the internet! - its very telling you had to edit your post though! you must have had a mighty chip on your shoulder to come back to it!

'...Are you being serious? you want to argue over an old ad?...you should find the appropriate forum to debate it in...'

actually, yes - thats why I started this thread!!!

doh!

........

back on topic - or - back on the straight path...

the iTMS is carrying a new coldplay / itunes tv advert - i havent actually seen it on tv yet. its of the ilk of those ads that are for musicians but made by the likes of hmv etc - i always used to think that apple should make those sort of ads and it looks like they are - though its still all about music / ipods and not OS / computer hardware.

I came back to it because I wanted to make sure my comments were appropriate, and focussed - I hope that doesn't offend you, I do it all the time. In fact, I wanted to make sure I didn't offend you, you seem quite emotional about this, if I did upset you, I'm so sorry. I don't need to "calm down" because you're picking up on something which isn't there, I'm afraid. Perhaps you are agitated because I didn't like that little advert?

Comments like "theres those who just don't 'get it' or even try to get it..." and "stay hungry, stay foolish...." as well as being overtly negative are also readable as a little personal dig and makes me think you need to chill a bit, and I mean it in the most friendly manner.

mmh, like I said, perhaps you should chill my friend. Theres a difference between a debate and an arguement for the sake of arguement, you seem interested in the latter, I'll be the adult here and bail out. Enjoy your adverts
