New iPad 2 Commercial (parody)

I personally love the vast majority of Apple products, but I have to admit, they are incredibly easy to troll. Obviously now that iPad 2 has been debuted we’ll be seeing a bunch of iPad 2 spoof videos in the near future, and so far this is the best I’ve seen!

They make a lot of humorous jokes as far as the weaknesses of Apple, but after reading the comments it appears that some people actually take some of the stuff that was mentioned seriously.

For example, I actually disagree with the typical “Apple hater” point of view that states that Apple can simply release any product, and the public will purchase it. Apple has in the past advertised several products that sold close to no units. For example look at the Apple Mighty Mouse, this mouse was generally hated across the Apple community, now we have the magic trackpad and magic mouse so we’re happy. Look at the Apple TV, to this day it’s nothing special and is far from a top selling product. Lastly look at the last generation iPod Shuffle (no buttons), it was probably the worst product I’ve ever seen Apple release; it did terrible to the point where the year afterwards Apple went back to the previous design with buttons. People will buy products if they are worth buying, not because Apple wants us to.

Aside from that point, I thought the video was brilliant and extremely funny!
