We know Samsung has an unhealthy obsession with Apple, but this is getting a little weird. This week in Australia, Samsung hired a marketing agency called Tongue to conduct some kind of guerrilla marketing campaign where they sent a bus of protesters to an Apple store and taunted people with the message “WAKE UP.” Check out the video below and let us know what you think.

How bout this Samsung. If you want the "iSheep" to "wake up"... why not follow your own advice and not get your hired "help" to dress up like... well.. sheep?

Hey Samsung... newsflash: it's a mobile device not a life choice.

I'm a Samsung fan but, if this is true, that's f**king stupid.

What do they have to wake up for? Perhaps wake up and release some more products for Samsung to steal ideas from? Hmm... :rolleyes:

It is hilarious how hard Samsung has to fight to try and get a few Apple fans to switch :)

Wake up to what? My iPhone makes calls, browses the web, plays music and takes nice photos. All I want a phone to do, what part about suddenly switching to a Samsung Android phone is going to make me Wake up?

When I look at how much it's going to cost to buy all my apps again?

This type of negative marketing is in very poor taste and out does Apple's pathetic PC vs Mac ads.

I can guarantee that Samsung also uses cheap "slave labour" as well.
