When i was in NY this weekend i took a picture of a nice, familiar poster..

nice picture!

the ads don't seem to be too bad. at least they aren't ugly or anything. i don't like to see ads anyways, but i'd rather see apple ads than some of the others i've seen

Very nice implementation of this campaign. I love the way the dancers 'jump out' of the frame.

I also don't like to see ads but I would have to agree that these don't seem too bad. Although if I could choose I would opt out of even this ad.

Same here...

Wonder what's up with that? Flash ads using too much bandwidth?

I loved it. Very colorful and cool how they jump out of the frame

When I was in Hollywood last September, I saw something very similar driving west on Sunset. I tried taking a picture with my iPhone but it was all blurry.

It definitely gets your attention. This is actually really cool. Apple's marketing people (or that one company) are goooood.

Awesome use of colors, approved.

Now that I see the done in Flash as a banner, it makes more sense that one of the dancers falls down. It's right after her feet move outside and below the frame, as if she tripped over the dividing line!

I agree, if I have to see an ad, it might as well be one for Apple!

It's definitely hard to ignore, I'll give 'em that!
