You are free to think that the ad was boring and that you didn't like it.

But yes, if you are losing your mind over it and crying about it, with an extreme emotional reaction, yes that makes you a baby.

I have no problem with someone who merely didn't like the ad. What I do have a problem with is this extreme freakout response.



I don't think anyone's losing their mind and crying. It's just interesting to see something like this from a company that has historically prided themselves on mutual respect (if not outright symbiosis) with artists, musicians, and other creative people.

Somewhere within Apple there was a failure of taste, and that was always the proverbial "sin unto death" from Steve Jobs's perspective. Doesn't happen every day. You hate to see it, but you can't help but watch.


> I don't think anyone's losing their mind and crying.

Then I guess you didn't see the social media response. There were absolutely a lot of people who were extremely upset.


> But yes, if you are losing your mind over it and crying about it, with an extreme emotional reaction, yes that makes you a baby.

Define “losing your mind” and “crying about it with extreme emotional reaction”.


> Define “losing your mind” and “crying about it with extreme emotional reaction”.

The people I am seeing on Twitter who are very upset.

So, if would be anyone who instead of merely thinking that the ad is bad, instead are actually angry about it.

Thinking an ad sucks is different from being significantly offended by it.


Writing an angry comment on twitter is “losing your mind” and “crying about it with extreme emotional reaction” to you? Who is a baby here?


Hey if you think it is so ridiculous for someone to be significantly offended by the ads that you don't even believe that people were, then you are basically agreeing with me.

I am glad that you seem to now agree with me that it would be dumb to be personally offended by this in a significant way.

You agree with me so much, that it is so dumb to be mad about this, that you actually don't think that people were!

You actually believe this argument even more that I do, because it isn't even conceivable to you that people were very upset about this.

I am glad that I convinced you at how dumb it would be to very mad about this ad.
