Anyone else sick of the ad? I'm in Canada and Global continues to play it in each commercial break. I've watched 3 hours of tv today and I've seen it 18 times. I don't think I can stand it anymore.

Then don't watch so much TV?

I don't know what else to tell you. I myself watched hours of TV today lounging around, and got a damn Kia commercial stuck in my head. I don't like Kia cars so it's useless for the jingle to stick. I eventually just changed the channel, even if only to get away from that one commercial.

You are not alone! I hate this ad as well. I think I'm probably in the minority, but I've hated almost all of Apple's recent music ads (the Feith song especially!).

Yeah, I wonder who feist is doing at apple to get her crappy music so much exposure. 2 songs on 2 different ads.
Wouldn't bother me as much if it wasn't such utter crap...
I feel dead inside.....:D

I love it...still. Every time it comes on I watch it and smile. The funny thing is that it just came on a few minutes ago and I looked up, watched it smiling and humming along. My wife just looked at me and laughed.

I have to say, I love the commercials. The iPod nano one drove me insane until I bought the song, the MBA one is a good song in my opinion, but I can see how it is possible for them to get annoying... it's happened to me before.

hah, I tottaly agree with the thread starter, i too have seen the ad way to many times here in canada. I have to say though, the more i see it, the more i think that air would be a great laptop to have. I would love to come in into the office everyday carrying my laptop in the same batch as my mail, that would look kinda cool, yet cheasy, but i would still do it a fwe times at least.

The MBA ad isn't Feist...unless there's a new one I haven't seen yet. If it's the New Soul song you're talking about, it's Yael Naim.

oh I know that. I was replying to the guy who said Feist sucked.

I am not particularly fond of the MBA song myself, it's good, but the whole thing gets a little annoying after a while. the excerpt they used for the actual ad though, is flawless.

I could not agree more.

Yeah, the song is not that great as a whole but the part they used is so fitting. I can't imagine buying that song, it's really commercially.

btw, feist rules!

it only comes on when there is an event on that Apple is sponsoring. like the Formula 1 series. it comes on every ad break. although i love the publicity Apple is getting, the ad is bloody annoying!
