Virtual Steve Jobs Gets Kicked in the Face in New Optimus Pad Promo Video

I just can't handle disrespect that clearly crosses the line.

What crossed the line? The ad, the comments, or neither?

the ad didn't cross the line, I am generally saying that the ad's most of the time are not all that bad, it's the fanboys who digest the ad's and spit it back out as hate. No one has done that here

So neither it was.

i think android manufacturers need to stop trying so hard and just push their product instead of detracting from others...

it's not like Apple is above this.

need I mention the childish act of banning the word "Android" from their app store?

Night and day difference. I guess what I was saying it's lame and unnecessary. I mean you're releasing a new product and you bring up apple? It just screams insecurity. The funny thing is if apple released the vphone and the commercial had andy being dropkicked, everyone here would be going crazy. Lame. But whatever I guess...it was....funny.

This post is not directed at anyone in particular. Only those who for some reason took offense to the ad.

I would laugh at this, btw. Dont think apple is above this especially now with the iphone on vw. Just wait till the iphone 5 ad campaign.

advertising (for any product) has always included what the 'other' guys aren't doing... just the nature of the beast.

obviously you want to tout your own product but it's not out of the ordinary to jab at another product.

truthfully, i probably wouldn't have noticed the Steve Jobs thing had it not been the topic of the thread.

They all do it, no one company is above the others

... on the topic of insecurity... how about Apple releasing a mid life cycle iPhone 4 on VZW to stem market share loss to Android?

shoe fits on both feet.

There is no question it goes both ways.

Makes me think of:

Having heard that Steve Jobs is in hospital with only his iPad to comfort him, I've decided to release the cure for pancreatic cancer into the public domain. But only in Flash.
