That kid makes me think of Tommy from "The Sixth Sense" (the obnoxious school mate that was in commercials). You know he thinks he's god, and rubs it in everyone's faces

IMO, It just goes to prove that Apple's music store is a bad idea, because obviously impressionable young kids can download anything.

I saw the one where the kid was singing Get the Party Started and I was like, "What the hell is that?" and had to promptly turn off the channel.

Another commercial that annoys the hell out of me is that Honey Bunches of Oats. That "Gotta feed America" woman annoys the fire out of me, and that's another commercial I cannot tolerate to be on my television.

I can't stand the IPOD commercial with the black girl singing "I'll Be There", at first I thought it was touching then I just realized that it was crap akin to American Idol.

END THE STUPID ADS APPLE!

Obviously he must have one if he is 12 years old and listening to music on a $400 piece of equipment.

The apple commercial where the guy sings "Baby Got Back" is GREAT. I think anyone singing that song is funny.
The other ones are ok, haven't seen the Eminem one.

Yeah, he totally does look like that kid a lot, and if he hadn't aged, I'd think it WAS him.

And yes, I agree he deserves a smack. In fact, every time that commercial (or any of the others) come on, everyone watching always laughs at their "Download a Song for $0.99" clincher. Like, do they really think people are going to pay a dollar for a limited amount of songs, when they can download all songs for free off any P2P program?!

They've been in the black thus far. I believe so far they are around 10% of all music sales since they opened a couple weeks ago.

Ug. ALL of the commercials suck.

Singing Baby Got Back was funny in 7th grade. Blame Apple's marketing department for thinking that that song is still cool and/or funny.

I have CNBC on all day and want to kick the TV when that kid comes on 5+ times a day. I do think the Baby Got Back one is the best, but probably because I've only seen it once.

Have you seen any of Kazaa's commercial on TV?

You're not wondering, you know what's going on...... with all the copyright issues and all that......

When I go by my local record store, I never steal any of the albums. I prefer to rightfully own the music I have on my computer.

And what is with the white backgrounds in every commercial. I am going blind already. Use brown or green or blue.
