I don't think one needs to be Japanese to be offended by that ad. Also, it's amazing at how accurate it is describing Apple's general corporate approach.

- ammo1662 2y agoThey just apologize for not be able to express "users can express themselves and bring their ideas to life through iPad". They don't care about destroying those things.
- Dylan16807 2y agoMaking and breaking a pile of props is a pretty normal consequence of filming something. The actions of the crew are not the problem.
- ammo1662 2y agoYes, but it is the point what people complain about. This "apology" just ignore that.
- Dylan16807 2y agoI'd say it's the disrespect the ad shows that is the problem. But you're right that "missed the mark" is not really an apology for anything in particular.

- bmitc 2y agoIs less about being offended and more about having a negative emotional response, which is perfectly natural and often involuntary.
- amatecha 2y agoYeah, it's a hilarious mimicry of their own process: "recycle" (aka destroy) everyone's old tech and sell them the new version of the same thing. It's like the most direct/blatant depiction of the lifecycle of consumer tech I've ever seen.
