We are inclined to agree with you on this. We studied the high quality Apple-posted version, and that iTunes icon is not purple. It is green. Green wins.
Got a tip for us?

It'd be nice to have a good ad; only the Budweiser one with the donkey, and the Lays one with the old people have been on par with Superbowl greats of the past... The other Pepsi ones guy in diner, etc. have been dull.
Also, "AOL Top Speed Halftime Show" is terrible! Boring boring boring (I'm not even watching it right now... good time for MacRumor input) 😱
bad bad bad
it's the worst ad ever, but this is not surprising, taking into consideration the low quality ads made by pepsi all the time. they are an aggressive company in ad policy, and that doesn't suit apple's image. i think that coke would have been a much a better ally for apple.
but more importantly, where is apple in that ad? i don't see the apple logo, and it only says pepsi + itunes. i think this is even more stupid, what are they going to do now, separate apple computer and itunes + ipod?
imho, this whole thing stinks. and who cares if apple reaches bigger masses? this would just be a problem for the loyal apple fans. i don't want another microsoft, i don't want a bigger share of the pc market, i just want good support and the good old apple we can trust.

Re: Re: bad bad bad
then why is apple showing the ad on its web site?
is itunes a specific brand? i don't think so. they could have at least said apple itunes...
well at least i find it really odd.

🙂
i didn't know itunes was a separate brand... then it comes back to what i said before, itunes and macintosh (not apple then) don't have anything to do with each other in that sense. maybe they will really separate the two in the future, who knows.
i still think there should have been a strong relation between the two though, it may be identical for us, but after this ad people will not see apple and itunes as the same thing.

so uh, was there an apple ad during the superbowl? i stopped watching the game after the halftime show. worst superbowl i can remember.
<sigh> There was *no* Apple ad. Apple said they weren't buying one *months* ago but no one seemed to believe them.

how do you let a super bowl go by without making a statement about your flagship product over the last 20 years birth? bad form apple, bad form. someone should be fired. bunch of idiots at apple. the apple logo is coming off my truck tomorrow.
i hate the patriots. i hate them. id rather use a pc for the rest of my life than have them win another superbowl.

Janet's Tit
Ok, did anyone else see this? I couldn't believe it. My 7-year old son says "I saw a boob!"

Is that S DUB in your location short for S DUBYA, which would be short for South Windsor?
Anyways, that SuperBowl got so bitchin' at the end. Go Pats!
Edit: Gasp! Checked out your website and I was right! We are sworn enemies, for I am from Vernon (Rockville). 😉
As a counter to Trowaman, in my college lounge, the ad got a "What the hell?" and then booed. And most of them use iTunes on a daily basis. Worst day of my life.
I think that the ad is perfect for the target audience (which, for those of you who still didn't get, is NOT you - unless you are a teenager) And, as it was said already, on the college campus there was much excitement when it aired (for non Mac lovers), proving one more time that it's hitting its target...

What's harder to do?
Well, a big fat nothing from a game I simply have no interest in. No, even the beautiful Janet couldn't interest me. All I wanted was a speed bump so that a dual 2.0 G5 would be cheaper for me to aquire...
Clearly, people, it is far easier to hype soda and music downloads than it is to design and implement a faster G5, a new form factor for the iMac, a cooler G5 for the laptops, or whatever it was that YOU were looking for.
But do not fret; as an earlier poster stated so eloquently, eventually WE'LL BE RIGHT with regard to all of the above...sooner or later, Apple will deliver.
BTW: Who won?

it's over
yes, it is over, who cares now... at the end it was again the mac fans who didn't get anything.
nice job apple.

...which is why they digitally remastered the 1984 ad and added an iPod?
I think Jobs has interest in the past... assuming it will make him (and/or Apple) more money.

perhaps, BUT since they launched something revolutoinary on superbowl sunday 1984, it would have been nice to blow everyone away (again) 20 years later.

On it's 20th anniversary, is this what apple can come up? To be diabetically dependent with iTunes?
