-1 | |||||

Tsk. Just because they make better products than everyone else.
Such jelousy! | ||||||

| MSBNC doesnt exist idiot.
MSNBC.
God you sound like Cyberman YMNDT
please try harder ^_^ | ||||||
| |||||||
| I love that song... that, and Steve was ownt. | ||||||
| really nice but change the title for +1--it's not really subliminal advertising | ||||||
| also it's msnbc not msbnc | ||||||
| Hey wakko1337, look again | ||||||
| 4d..
sometimes it seems im the only one that dousnt have an ipod... | ||||||
| Apple 'is' trying to be cool. That's their target audiance. The 'cool' kids
meaning, the non tech savvy kids that knows you can have a pc that's twice as powerful
as a top of the line mac but for half the cost and none of the bullsh*t.
It's like windows basiclly, you appeal to the people who generally aren't tech savvy, like
more than 90% of the general poulation of the internet and you'll make a hit product.
Linux + PC = ftw. Sorry apple users, you're just comeing across as ignorant now :) | ||||||
| funny conclusion :D | ||||||
| wow did you miss the last line of it? holy sh*t. | ||||||
| I was expecting something better. | ||||||
| 1'd for Apple's sake. | ||||||
| I have had nothing but Apple computers and love them, but damn if you ain't right! | ||||||
| The iPod is the best MP3 player. If Dick Cheney and the Queen use it that's saying something. It's saying it's cool. | ||||||
| NERD! | ||||||
| 4'd. A few things, though: Steve Jobs hasn't come up with an advertising slogan for a while, if ever. I do believe Wozniak did that, while Jobs worked on the hardware... However, the slow-load iMac slogan makes Jobs seem like an ass. Great job, marketing. Someone's gonna get fired. | ||||||
| hahaha OMG BUST. F*ck iPods. F*ck everything without a heart. | ||||||
| Yo es dinero. | ||||||
| Because of sites like this YTMND is quickly becoming a powerful way to call politicians, CEOs, religious leaders and more on their bullsh*t, keep up the good work. | ||||||
| ^ BTW, I meant 'slot-load.' I wish everyone can be like kinser, and have an argument to back up why they hate Apple, or why they prefer something else over Apple... | ||||||
| good stuff | ||||||
| Well of course they are trying to "appear cool". My question is why is it such a bad thing? It's called marketing folks. Everyone does it. That is the way they make their money. Even your beloved PC companies do it. If thats the worst criticism you can come up with for Apple, then you aren't trying very hard. | ||||||
| 1 for blasphemy | ||||||
| |||||||
| Oh so true. | ||||||
| please stop nitpicking, and Bill Gates says stupid sh*t like that daily | ||||||
| O_o | ||||||
| Funny except for the fact that Apple products are cool, as opposed to opening up a 450 dollar box of Microsoft meh. 2'd. | ||||||
| OMG They advertise cool and yet they advertise that they don't advertise cool to some other people. It's all advertising, not fact. "Because of sites like this YTMND is quickly becoming a powerful way to call
politicians, CEOs, religious leaders and more on their bullsh*t, keep up
the good work." Sorry, but you're an idiot. Overstatement of the century. YTMNDs have marginal "power" at best, especially in the current format where these sites are neither prominent nor have much staying power on the front page | ||||||
| Subliminal advertising? WTF are you talking about? I've never owned one, but god damn, this hate and ignorance regarding macs is getting to be pretty apalling. | ||||||
| Most importantly, however, is to realize that all interviews and press releases are 100% marketing and 0% anything else. Government filings are where you get you facts... If you get your facts from the mouth of the beast, as shown, you're likely to get conflicting evidence as long as people take advertising as fact. Taking both contradictory sides of an argument is not wrong in marketing, it's creative. People that give marketing campaigns credibility, as this site does, are the fools. | ||||||
| needs a realy big ORLY? | ||||||
| LOL the last frame was ownage | ||||||
| "Bill Gates says stupid sh*t like that daily" Daily eh? Shouldn't be hard for you to make a ytmnd about it then. Chop chop. | ||||||
| HEY EVERYONE I HAVE A PC LOLOLOL FSCK MACS THEY SUCK HA HA HA I HATE ANYTHING THAT IS POPULAR IF YOU DONT USE A PC THEN YOU MUST BE GAY LETS DECLARE WAR ON INSIGNIFICANT BULLSH*T BECAUSE WE ARE POOR AND CANT AFFORD COOL PRODUCTS LOLOLOLOLOLOL | ||||||
| i dont really care that much | ||||||
| usuk mac | ||||||
| You mean advertisers are liars? STOP THE PRESSES | ||||||
| Nice | ||||||
| lol. win. | ||||||
| This site is the Rebirth of Cool. | ||||||
| This pwns so hard. Reps full of BS! | ||||||
| auto-5 for clever satire. Simple true, but we sure could use more stuff like this. Thought provoking, different, intellectual, clever. | ||||||
| ...not that reps being full of BS is anything new. I recall some fiasco about weapons somewhere that never panned out. In either case, I think this is hilarious that he could say that outright. You sure he didn't start laughing after he said it? :P | ||||||
| I hate Steve Jobs. I hate Apple. iPod's aight. | ||||||
| Although not totally subliminal, funny nonetheless :-). | ||||||
| Apple: Where the Right Hand doesn't even know what the Right Hand is doing. | ||||||
| Agreed. I'm getting a Zune when it comes out. Macintosh is for communists. xP | ||||||
| any professional that is worth a sh*t working in media production is probably on a mac and using tons of apple products. they are good. oh cool ytmnd btw | ||||||
| A-ha! Caught you! With Steve Jobs! Also Mac products, while well-designed, are bloated and overpriced. | ||||||
| The "We don't strive to be cool." quote IS striving to be cool. | ||||||
| apple > all | ||||||
| "apple > all" This YTMND never said that was the case (also some comments did) so I hardly see that as grounds to downvote it. You got to admit, it's pretty funny for him to say something like that when it's so blatantly untrue! | ||||||
| Anyhting that busts corporate bullcrap is 5 worthy. | ||||||
| erm, never said that 'wasn't' the case. Doesn't mean it IS the case, but you know what I mean :P | ||||||
| Screw the Apple fanboys. | ||||||
| ok ok, youre right lol, nice find. but still, apple > all | ||||||
| pwnt | ||||||
| good catch sir, I love you for this | ||||||
| I like how apple users defend themselves being called smug *ssh*les by saying "LOL UR JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE UR TOO POOR TO OWN A BETTER (read: more expensive) PRODUCT!!!!!!! | ||||||
| Hey everybody, get a load of the big fat phony! | ||||||
| mmm the birth of the cool.....wasnt that a jazz album in like the 60's? | ||||||
| this...does not work. maybe an actual screenshot of a the website or video of the interview or something. otherwise, you coulda made this up. (btw, that last pic is so obviously photoshopped) | ||||||
| Qnslaught
"Yo es dinero. ".../hmm apparently "I it is money" | ||||||
| LOL | ||||||
| 5 because Steve Jobs is a tool | ||||||
| misuse of the word subliminal? | ||||||
| pretty good, but theres nothing subliminal about it at all. | ||||||
| I can see that the MAC is sh*t, but I don't agree that most people buy Ipods to be cool. Maybe we can keep the PC fanboyism and lose the Nintendo fanboyism. :) | ||||||
| Also
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15262121/site/newsweek/
The site, it's their third question. | ||||||
| 4th* rather | ||||||
| who cares | ||||||
| That isn't subliminal, good site though. | ||||||
| facebook group "People who flaunt their Apple products are smug *ssh*les" join it... do it NOW! | ||||||
| There was no subliminal sdvertising there... I'm disappointed. | ||||||
| cool is completely subjective. what makes you think some black figure on a billboard is cool? you seem to have found a forgone conclusion.. you're trying to say, how can apple not be trying to be cool, when in fact, it was them not trying to be cool and doing their own thing that made them cool in the eyes of the consumer in the first place. as for the last pic, that could be some kind of irony. | ||||||
| good show chap. poor song choice tho. | ||||||
| I think it's pretty gay when people don't buy things because they're too "mainstream." Get a job, you hippies. | ||||||
| yeaaaah. | ||||||
| Mac OS X ftw | ||||||
| "cool is completely subjective." Not entirely. While everyone has their own tastes, as with attractiveness, there is always a general trend to which society gravitates in both areas. Whether it's PC or not (politically correct, not personal computer :P) there will always be a 'cool' crowd. By advertising themselves as the younger, more hip, white and smooth-edged, I do things as I please crowd, they are in fact appealing to what is considered 'cool' now. To judge them for this isn't justified; it's CONT | ||||||
| CONT just good business. You want people to buy your product, you make it appear more desirable. For Mr. Jobs to deny that his company is doing this is just silly. Although, not wanting to be cool is cool too so maybe it is all part of the scheme. Who knows?! As an end note, I'd like to reiterate that never within the YTMND itself does it ever say that Macs are horrid, inferior, or dumb. It just shows that Jobs' statement is kind of "assnine". Lol, do a barrel roll! | ||||||
| He's not denying it. He's publicly denying it. Big difference. One gets him publicity, which is advertisement, which benefits his company. Advertising =/= sworn testimony. | ||||||
| Macs suck. PCs 4 LIFE. | ||||||
| This is one of those rare moments that accually classifys as "Owned." | ||||||
| you win! 5'd and fav'd! | ||||||
| funny | ||||||
| "For Mr. Jobs to deny that his company is doing this
is just silly." If the truth doesn't help sales, then telling the truth is silly and not the converse. Why would you say something that you don't have to say if it is going to hurt sales? Get a brain, people. He doesn't have to answer any of their questions, so he'll answer their questions however they want them answered. Pandering generates sales, and if you don't pander you get ripped and get bad reviews. Critics have no integrity, so pandering wins. | ||||||
| "He's not denying it. He's publicly denying it. Big difference. One gets him publicity, which is advertisement, which benefits his company. Advertising =/= sworn testimony." The title of the YTMND is "Steve Jobs' Subliminal Advertising". We know it's him advertising. Doesn't mean it isn't BS though. | ||||||
| ...Where's the subliminal advertising? I was promised subliminal advertising. | ||||||
| Good YTMND, well made, interesting, pertinent. Grats. | ||||||
| Pointless site. Mac OS wins. Why are you showing ipods and 8 year old hardware? | ||||||
| LOL
YOU ARE MY HERO!
'we don't strive to be cool'
bs!

| not subliminal, and simply opinionated contraditions. | ||||||
| Uhh what? | ||||||
| The point here is, everyone is trying to sell everybody everything. Microsoft does it by muscling itself into every possible market, Apple does it by shamelessly pitching itself as being trendy, and Linux geeks do it by never shutting the f*ck up. | ||||||
| Ha you have got to love sales | ||||||
| and when i look at the top ads it says (apple products an EBAY) then the next one it says (Are you Emo?) | ||||||
| these sites are pretty funny, but for both the PC and apples sake, the actual computers have different applications, apples run programs like photoshop and premiere better while PC's ae more suited to games, due to the wider selection. Another thing, apple has a very successful advertising campaign, if you went through and looke for every lie bill gates has told i am sure it wouldn't be hard to cath him in a lie either. but still pretty funny. | ||||||
| My BS meter was going.. BEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEP | ||||||
| Death to Ipod. Zen shall reign supreme | ||||||
