Really Jon, whatever it is that you are having at the "communal design area," send some over:
We have assembled a heavenly design team. By keeping the core team small and investing significantly in tools and process we can work with a level of collaboration that seems particularly rare. Our physical environment reflects and enables that collaborative approach. The large open studio and massive sound system support a number of communal design areas. We have little exclusively personal space. In fact, the memory of how we work will endure beyond the products of our work.
-Jonathan Ive, senior vice president of industrial design at Apple
Ooooooooooooooooooo...

One must not insult other religions if you are a human. I am sure, your business will brake down soon. You can not escape the financial meltdown whatever you create new designs.

Otherwise, I will never ever consider to buy any of your company stuff .Be respect to your customer around the world from different religion.Creative is good but not the insult.I say again if u don't know how to advertise do no harm to ur respectful customer.Your sincere apology is very much expected asap.

This advertisement is very inferior in the world. How you get this idea? Buddha is not for advertisement and using for popular. Have you got IQ? Do u have any plan for advertisement with other religion Jesus Christ, Islam and Hindu, etc..?

What the hell are you ?You guys must give respect to other religions &
your advertisements must not include any material that will insult any religion .
What if we will do the same thing to your Jesus Christ ?
And I'm sure that you guys won't want to see Mary in naked .
You are such a shame to insult Buddha's image .Brainless bastards . Go to hell .

I wanna warn the designer of that advertisement not to insult any religion in the world .
You must respect others' religion if you wanna get respect back .What the hell are you guys ???
What if others do the same thing you did to Jesus Christ ? And I'm also sure that you won't wanna see Mary in naked.
Creative is good but not the insult. If u don't have brain to understand to realize how to advertise without insulting your respectful customers of different religions all over the world ,
don't run the company.You're such a brainless low standard bastards .We strongly against this advertisement and urge the sincere apology from that designer & company to all Buddhists ASAP !!!!!!!

I like Apple products & their innovations but this advertisement underscore their creativity. Apple as a respectable company should not insult Lord Buddha and all Buddhists. The designer and company should apologize to Buddhists. As a Buddhist, I strongly condemn this advertisement & ask apology. By seeing this advertisement, I decided I'll never buy any Apple products from now. They insult our religion.

There are some things that we shouldn't do.It's the law of the nature.Our brain is more mature than animals and we are educated and know dos and donts.That's why we are called human beings.But I was shocked when i saw this ads from fwd mail.We are buddhist and follow the route of Buddha. We are taught not to insult each other and how to stay peacefully.We don't insult other religions like hindu, muslim and christian.Can you imagine how wil you feel if someone insult your religion ?We pay respect to Buddha ,Dhamma and Sangas.You shouldn't misuse the image of our Buddha.We would like you to apologise what you have done to our religion.It's never too late to mend. Otherwise what goes around comes around. I hope you are clever enough to mend...Thank you.

Advertisement should be creative, innovative & out of box... Yes! But Ur guys need to know how to respect ur customers' culture, religious & believing from all over the world. If not, how can u lead ur products in this competitive market? You should not isolate only people around U. Think BIG & Act PROFESSIONAL. I can’t be imaging how this stupid idea came out without thinking ur customers. It will be bad image of ur company forever if U are not apology to ur customer.

THis is totally inappropriate and unacceptable. What is the matter with this f'up idea from Designer team. Run out of ideas? Enlighten by I Pod? This is absolutely outrageous. How about Ipod bible, so that everyone can follow. This is the same thing as religion insult. This is not a joke matter. I will take this matter up to all web blogs, facebook, twitt, myspace and criticize about this BS.

Hey, we all are living in the same world although there are different in religions, nations, etc. But we all are people. Even though you are not Buddhist, you must not do like this. You can't. That behavior shows your rank and standard. That is not the behavior of a good person. Foolish. You must apologize.

September 26, 2009 at 11:01pm by Zarni zarnie
it's not clear that who is responsible for the offending image, Jon Ive or the Gizmodo staff. but whoever's responsibility is, this image is very offensive to buddhists and it will have negative impact on the parties responsible. I'd like to see this image removed before it has done further damage. and in the future, think before you create and publish such images, as it might be 'cool' and 'funny' to you but it might also be insulting to others.
September 26, 2009 at 11:30pm by Lay Pyay
If you are human, u shouldn't do as like this.The Dhama Principle will be blame you.

Insulting Buddhism , eh ? Stupid ! Idiot ! Shame On U ! Go to Hell !
September 27, 2009 at 1:11am by Mya Chae
This is very unappropriated and offensive. Whoever did this, this is very rude! and you should know one thing you are not only insulted our religion but also you do insult to the whole Buddhist people and we will not stand and still who-so-ever trying to insult and mock our Buddhism so we urge you to appologize. This is very disrespectful of Buddhism.
September 27, 2009 at 2:00am by Aung Tun
WHO TEACH YOU TO ADVERTISE IN THIS WAY? WHY DON'T YOU USE YOUR OWN GOD TO ADVERTISE OR ALTER YOUR GOD's FACE WITH YOUR FUCKING FACE. MUST BE YOUR PARENT DON'T TEACH YOU AND YOU ARE AN ILLITERATE. WE BUDDHISTS ARE NEVER EVER INSULT OTHER RELIGIONS. SO PLEASE DO THE SAME THING. RESPECT OTHER RELIGIONS. THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO ADVERTISE BUT NOT LIKE THIS WAY. PLEASE REMOVE THIS ADVERTISEMENT. WHO EVER RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MUST APOLOGIZE.
September 27, 2009 at 2:31am by A S Moe
Hay! Gentleman. I say you are gentle man,but your behavior isn't gentle.Buddha was never interested in any entertainment after being the unrevealled one. However , you designed Buddha was intereted in it.Completely Wrong! Later you should try to learn well about something concerning with your design. It is said Man controls his own fortune. You cannot escape from any misfortune by praying or by the help of your god because only you did it self! But I wish good luck for you because I am a Buddist and optimist!
September 27, 2009 at 2:36am by A S Moe
haha ! I also wish your good-looking face is like this ever without being ruined!
