I've made no secret that I'm a fan of the company and yeah, I probably have bought into some of their marketing. I didn't buy an iPod to be hip though. I bought one 3 years ago because it was the best portable music player in my opinion. My point was that the negative tone of the ads seemed to me to be counterproductive. I personally was turned off by the ad campaign. I don’t see my post as defending Apple.

But not as funny as watching people wearing 'ibuds' looking at the ads and realising (slowly) that they are having the mickey taken out of them. And why is it that certain people feel they have to leap to Apple's defense? Who cares if one big company that wants nothing but your cash insults another big company. If you have a problem with it, then the millions of pounds spent by ad agencies trying to secure your 'brand loyalty' has worked, and you are an idiot. I think it’s quite funny.

I really can't think of anyone else who would act this way, or think it was acceptable to act this way. I find it completely gross, and to find out that it is all actually for a product. That is just icing on the cake. It’s interesting that the industry has decided to allow bratty 5 year old girls create the new marketing schemes for their customers.

It doesn't so much make me want to buy anything else, but it decreases my desire for an Ipod, which at the moment is an almost strong desire. Well, it sort of does.
