Does this make you want to buy their stuff?

Yes, it makes me want to buy their products. But I'm cool, and not everybody is. That is ok.

[Doctor Phibes]

Was that actually Mark's lounge featured in the video?

[kluurs]

All that POWER!! Makes those early Cray Supercomputers look like a Texas Instrument SR10.

[George K]

What a terrible ad.

[Copper]

There is no way an ad like that will get people talking about iPads on internet forums.

[Mik]

@George-K Had nothing at all to do with the product.

[Renauda]

I might become interested in Apple when the day comes along that I have the right to repair the faulty digital pin on my 164GB iPod.

Until such time that Apple grants its customers the privilege to repair their products, I am not interested.

And yes, the ad sucks..

Already removed from tv and elicits a rare admission of stupidity from apple

I didn't know I had a lounge. Where is all the money I am owed ?

When you consider the current predilection among the younger folk (God I sound old) for going back to vinyl, traditional cameras etc. it seems particularly dumb.

LG should sue Apple for stealing their ideas.

It's what Apple would do, after all

I thought the same thing, LOL.

I think what happened is simply that a soulless ad team recognized that hydraulic press crushing videos were popular on youtube, and made the leap to this ad being a good idea.

They crushed a piano and a guitar! Fuck Apple forever.
