    bad? this was nothing compared to the one that directly compare themselves to their direct competitor as form of mockery of the sort (looking at you samsung)

      Anonymous, 12 May 2024weak are those that are defending apple for this ad no one... moreAfter what exactly?

        And it's also ok for you to hate on Apple as your hobbie, and boy do you. but I'm not defending them over this, I think the whole situation is ludicrous, from the out cry, to Apple rolling over, to daft comments such as yours earlier in this thread. It's a bloody advert, get over it!

It's Apple that realized that they made a mistake and issued a statement. Also, the ad isn't removed. It's okay if you choose to defend Apple as your hobby, but you shouldn't lie. Honestly, I don't think that Apple will appreciate what you do. The Apple management probably wants the likes of you to be silent.

                    So if you don't like the Ad you are overly-sensitive, weak, stupid and retarded as one commenter wrote, as if you are saying: shut up, don't be critical ... and you think your opinion is not stupid?! get over yourself.

                    People studies advertising for decades, books written about them, of course people have opinions about them, does not make them weak, in the other hand you can't see how shallow minded you are.

                      are people stupid to not understand the ad? and apple stupid enough to apologies?

                        Awesom add, simply, people are just re...tar...ded. Watching movies where people killing each other constantly, but no when you crush arcade machine it's out of line. Duck the liberalism.

                          nothing wrong with ad. its precisely what you would expect from ads in japan...

                            Anyone could pls tell me whats wrong with the ad?

                              Why? Why are these companies kneeling before over-sensitive people? Apologize to them gives them validation and they will keep doing it. Just don't give value to such kind of human species. 😤

                                What good is an "apology" when they've accidentally revealed their intent?
                                Apple now wants to cut the trained and skilled artists out of the supply chain. 30% of it all clearly isn't enough.

                                  Nevermind, the sensitive people would probably be offended by my post so I deleted it.
