I never once said the ads were ineffective - they were perfect as they reached out to the large group of uneducated people in regards to computing.
They were highly effective and I would be stupid to say anything else. Doesn't change the fact that they were ######ed however.
I was just pointing out that Apple was loving it when they could take small problems and blow them up out of proportion to gain market share and promote their product, but now when the shoe is on the other foot (small problem with iPhone 4 getting blown out of proportion and uneducated masses eating it up) they cry like little girls.
