[MacDV] G5 TV Ad Distasteful & Disturbing

[Gerhard Kuhn]

I think this ad is well done it and has the same sort of edge as the 
successful VW advertising campaign.  I find it hard to believe that 
anybody would see this ad as promoting violence and destruction but 
rather as one that shows a user that is blown away (as in overwhelmed) 
by the new features, power etc. of the G5.
