nominak Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 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. http://androidandme....eep-to-wake-up/ 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?

Hardcore Til I Die Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 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.

Astra.Xtreme Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 What do they have to wake up for? Perhaps wake up and release some more products for Samsung to steal ideas from?

McKay Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 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?

Hardcore Til I Die Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It is for Apple users. That's what samsung is going after. Every platform has enthusiasts and die hard fans, not just Apple. Personally I'm not loyal to any brand, I'll buy whatever best suits my needs at the time. My last phones have been iPhone 1st gen, Nokia 5800, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S2. Next one.. who knows.

.Neo Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Samsung just became the 21st century version of Jehovah's Witnesses; taking it to the streets as they desperately try to convert the iSheep to GalaxySheep. With "Wake up!" the company and its loyalists actually mean: "Mindlessly join our new cult!", "Buy only our products!", "Our truth is the only truth!". The only thing Samsung tries to accomplish here is to become Apple. Kinda ironic.

I'm a Samsung fan, but I just think it was lame, and I don't think Apple fans would get hurt by that. They're just annoying... It's not witty or clever, just irritating.
