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.


They 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.


Making and breaking a pile of props is a pretty normal consequence of filming something. The actions of the crew are not the problem.


Yes, but it is the point what people complain about. This "apology" just ignore that.


I'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.


I don't think one needs to be offended, it's a choice.


Is less about being offended and more about having a negative emotional response, which is perfectly natural and often involuntary.


Yeah, 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.
