"You gonna be a dad..." [WARNING: APPLE NERD RAGE THREAD.]

[GasX]

I saw the commercial and thought the same thing, first thing I thought was what a dumb bitch telling her man over the phone that she is pregnant. Who does that? Unless you are separated by long distance and don't plan to see each other for a long time, do it in person.

Isn't that the point of the ad - that they aren't together but they can still see each other's faces when they share the good news?

 

[Anubis]

Do you know why you hate it? Is it because these ads are targeted at the mainstream and you are sad that they are being introduced to your techy world and you no longer get to be the only one who knows how to video conference? These idiots who have never heard of Skype are now going to be wowed by "Facetime" even though you've been sitting at your keyboard video conferencing since 1992.

Get over it.

ive never used skype or any video conferencing. and i still think the commercials are dumb

try again

 

[chin311]

lol yeah i work with some pretty LOWWWW tech-savvy people and half of them have a webcam of some sort....dont think they are JUST now realizing they can video-chat somehow.

 

[40Hands]

I understand your rage OP. When I watch TV, I feel like I'm being called an idiot by 90% of the commercials out there. What scares me is that it actually works.

 

[TwiceOver]

Just FF throught the commercials.

Back after we bought an HP PC we would get junk mail from HP. Glossy brochures filled with pictures of people doing stuff with HP stuff. Really weird people, like Stepford Families preaching about Rev Moon in the magic kingdom while chasing down LSD with prozac. It creeped us out to the point we didn't buy HP anymore.

 

[Wyndru]

yeah i that one piss's me off. that and the girl with the haircut

Yeah that girl with the short hair tries too hard to be cute, and her boyfriend sounds a little slow.

I don't mind apple products but their marketing is too cutesy for me.

 

[TheVrolok]

I also thought that commercial was a piece of shit.

 

[metalmania]

If the Apple commercial is superior, then the pigs can fly.

 

[amdhunter]

Man, if somebody came over to my house and started video calling on my goddamned wifi, i'd go unplug my wireless router. Fuck that bullshit.

Hahahaha.:awe:

 

[amdhunter]

I always thought the father's dialogue in that commercial was completely interchangeable with that of an internet pervert. Guess I was right.

Don't believe for a moment that Apple didn't have that in mind when making that commercial. Sex sells. Sex with younger people sells more.

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

I find it easier to not care in the first place.

 

[amdhunter]

OP is just jealous.

This is probably true. I wish I had some hot nerdy woman to FaceTime with. Mosh, wanna FaceTime a little bit? :sneaky:

 

[Krazy4Real]

10/10 would read again.

 

[alkemyst]

Fortunately most here will never have to hear about a pregnancy of theirs.

 

[ViviTheMage]

The new iphone commercials are really annoying, I agree.

Still love my iphone

LOL, TFP nailed it, rage on 14 year old internet nerds, rage on...

AMDHunter also conveniently forgets to mention he owns an iPad

And an iPhone3G and iMac, and eventually a new Mac mini whenever I decide to get more Apple certifications.

 

[spidey07]

What's so idiotic about the commercial isn't the message. It's that a joyous moment like that should be shared in person, NOT over the phone even if it's video.

Just for you amdhunter:

I also have a Sprint Hero running a 2.1 ROM.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

More successful advertising by Apple. Do you see other phone makers get this much attention? No, because they are all inferior. Apple understands the public. Apple understands people. Apple understands you. That is why you will continue to purchase their products. Everyone knows this.

fixed

 

[PingSpike]

I've only seen the grandpa one and that was groan worthy enough.
