I don't love it, but its not unwatchable.
I am a stern liker, u are a stern hater. There is room to meet in the middle.
You know you like Gary Stern, you have his photo in your wallet afterall, admit it.lol
Its all good Gav, I hate the guys "runway strip" haircut. It looks like someone from a porno shoot glued it to the top of his head. He just needs a few leds to light up the runway for night landings now.lol 
That's where you have me wrong.. I don't hate Stern. I don't like many of the things they do and I wouldn't buy one of their machines ( opinion yet to be made on Metallica), but I don't hate them...
I can view this ad with an open mind and come to the conclusion that its bloody awful.. and that's because it IS bloody awful. you on the other hand have blinkered vision and your desire to see STERN as the greatest pinball manufacturer ever dictates your opinion on everything Stern. I applaud you for trying to find the positives but if you find a few positives in a pile of crap then it is essentially still a pile of crap.
