On: Apple apologizes for iPad 'Crush' ad that 'missed ...

Have some compassion.

Let me take something of your prize possession and crush it for an iPad. Not all can afford one and such items brings them entertainment.

For some advert to advertise, "your a schmuck for having these, buy an ipad" is just out of order.

Who would take this ad literally? As in "go toss the piano in trash and buy an iPad Pro"?

[doublerabbit → RicoElectrico]

I'm sure many. Many who are gullible to adverts as if folk weren't there wouldn't be advertising.

It's not that they will go and do so. But more the symbolism of "you don't need any of these ever again because you can do it on this!"

While okay; sure but again those who can't afford an iPad, were instruments are of an important value to see them destroyed is heart breaking.

It’s more like “your cool thing is uncool, but our soulless machine”.
