I liked the ad, and loved that they poked fun of Siri.

I liked it. Although they're using Siri's old voice!![]()
Well I like to think of it as Siri's "classic voice". I still use it, plus the voice is instantly recognizable for the mass of consumers.
Aaaaand it's been removed from the Beats Twitter account.
I always hated those Pill creatures
Were they a thing before this? I've never seen them.
Heh. Apple do some nice (albeit boring) ads but they still throw a terrible one like this into the mix every now and then. Not surprised they deleted the tweet.
Are the complainers really serious?! I always felt Apple customers we sharper than all the noise I keep hearing about Beats. I wonder if Katy Perry was the partner instead of Dr Dre if the outrage would be equivalent? Most likely not. You guys are so biased you can't even see the message in the ad down to the Siri's final response. She was pretending she couldn't hear him because he kept insisting on the directions and she wasn't giving them.
HATERS SHUT UP!!, you don't see the true message! Apple is basically saying "Beats Pill dudes" you are getting the axe! You ain't invited! pure genius! Wake up haters and see this! Apple ain't buying beats for what they have out now, it's for where they will take it! Read the PR and it's all about the future, Apple will take beats to a whole new level, and to be more precise... will take music to a whole new level!
Came here for the video, stayed for the meltdowns.
Now that you all got that out of your systems, you should all relax now. This was done by Beats PR team, not apple, and it's not an advertisement.
WTF is this crap? No, seriously... easily the worst Apple commercial ever.
Oh God what the hell is this? This commercial is terrible and so un-Apple and it shows that we need Steve back...too bad he couldn't have been cloned so that we'd have another one.
Steve would never have allowed this
Update 8/2 12:00 PM PT: The Beats Electronics tweet featuring the video has been deleted from Twitter.
It is getting very annoying to be honest. Apple fans need to let it go, get behind Beats and Beats products, and stop pissing on everything done under the Beats brand. As Tim Cook said, they are part of the family now. That should be good enough for everyone. It's time for Apple fans to quit the whining and start looking for positive things to say about the Beats product line.
Time to sell all my apple stock.
Are Beats not a highly profitable company with wildly popular products and a strong brand which has just launched a streaimg service that is gaining traction and very well may become a material revenue stream for the company ?
Is it wise make investment decisions based on emotional attachment to a brand and it's products?
Considering that the note on the Beats homepage is so poorly typeset, using horribly kerned text set in Myriad Regular (not Light) with "straight" apostropheseven using Hoefler for the headline, presumably to try match Apple's old branding (which actually used Garamond)and considering that the Apple and Beats logos are shown side by side in the video, separated with a line, I can't see how this is the work of Apple's marketing team.
(Not to mention, of course, the awful, awkward content of the video.)
I really hope this is the Beats team's final, er, thing.
