Hey Apple, I have this great idea for a next spot where we burn a pile of books. Call me.

    Tbf, I don’t think you looked at this with much depth. No decisions in the corporate world, at this scale, are done fast and in a vacuum.

    This is plenty valid to be upset at - especially when contrasted with all of the current stories about platforms removing access to “owned” digital media.

    They want to crush, destroy, eliminate all of your physical media and creative outlets, shift you to fully digital, and then hold the kill switch hostage behind an always shifting subscription.

      I get that this ad implies the (new) iPad can replace all the other stuff that got crushed, I just don’t get how this can be so upsetting to people: it’s an ad for a product. Don’t like it, don’t buy it. Apple is hardly going to destroy the market for all the stuff that got crushed.

      I can disagree with something and still not be offended or upset by it. As I said, sometimes I feel like some people want to be offended/upset.
