samsung sheeple Samsung protesters tell Apple iSheep to "Wake up".

[DevilsNotDead]

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.

the irritating and annoying part is called the hurt...

[Coi]

WTF?

But still funny. :p

[nominak]

What's supposed to hurt exactly? That samsung have stooped so low as to call people "iSheep"? Ooooh ouch!

Spoken like a true first generation GalaxySheep. Bravo!

[Astra.Xtreme]

tbh, it is funny for a samsung fan to see apple fans getting hurt.

maybe you are on the other side and maybe because of that you didnt get the funny.

Nobody is getting hurt by it... Why would they?

It's honestly just stupid and embarrassing to anybody that supports Samsung.

It's the same idea as if Apple held up signs saying "Buy our stuff because apples taste better..."

Nobody is going to switch from Apple to Samsung because of this. Probably more so the opposite. It's just dumb and childish.

Good cover!!!! haha

[ShMaunder]

Haha, wtf, how odd.

Maybe Samsung's marketing should smell the coffee and not make people feel like a flock of sheep. That is bad marketing if you ask me. Choice is awesome.

[.Neo]

Good cover!!!! haha

How does it feel to finally become what you made others out to be? ;)

[bjoswald]

Wow, what a stupid campaign.

[threetonesun]

So... what are they supposed to wake up from? The dream that is well designed consumer products? :laugh:

Without biases, we wouldn't care about any of these products. They're just gadgets. The national park service should be out there with the "wake up" signs.

Apple's Mac vs. PC ads were childish, but they at least did (inaccurate) comparisons and didn't insult the target audience.

Samsung, on the other hand, is just insulting the very customers they're trying to pull over by calling them "iSheep" and telling them to "wake up." All they're really managing to do is incite the Fandroids.

[rajputwarrior]

what are they gonna wake up to? crap software software support?

also, way to insult the customers you are trying to pull asshats...

[Miuku.]

And this is why everyone should've bought a Nokia Symbian phone!

That's the different right there. Mac vs PC made fun of the platform in a way that tried to relate to PC users, not insult them.

Hey sheeple put down those iPhones and buy a Samsung Fridge, Samsung Microwave, Samsung Washing Machine, Samsung Dishwasher, Samsung Vacuum Cleaner, Samsung Oven, Samsung TV, Samsung Laptop, Samsung Desktop, Samsung Phone, Samsung Tablet, Samsung Bluray Player, Samsung Camera, Samsung Stereo etc.. etc..

Samsung is all you need man! - Join the Samsung cult we got you covered in every inch of your life!

You forgot Samsung AC :p

Thank god that I am still an iSheep as firmware update pastures in Apple's farm feed me on time !!

If you define relate as - talking down, lying, and bsing.... then yes, apple didn't insult any user..... /s

Well yeah, if Apple sent a bunch of twats to a Samsung store and they all shouted "buy an iPhone, buy an iPhone, buy an iPhone" then all of the Samsung shoppers would be annoyed and irritated too.

Like I said, it's not funny or witty, just sad.

Heh. To be fair they do a decent job in their other product lines. Their TVs are a bit finicky - had the GPU go corrupt and spewing colored lines across the screen. Their inductive stoves are also a bit weird - the power booster for warming water shuts itself off after a few seconds and needs to be restarted. Otherwise their products are solid.

On topic, this is a bit pathetic - hell even with the smug I'm a Mac ads they didn't go as far as name calling for Christsakes. Yes they stereotyped PC users as boring busineenemy but that's up to the user's interpretation. But like with Smoked by Windows Phone, publicity is publicity, good or bad.

Samsung should take a page from Microsoft's book. Park I'm a PC booths in front of Apple stores.

If this is just about trying to convert customers then meh don't care. Android has its religious followers just like apple.

If it was about the stupid patent war going on between them (and a bunch of other companies as well) then I'd more inclined to agree with them.

[sanctified Veteran]

It is for Apple users. That's what samsung is going after.

I am an Apple user and it's not a life choice for me.

[DevilsNotDead]

This is nice ad campaign by samsung!! with all the bitching response I am sure is a huge success because thats what Samsung wanted... Funny how people cant stand the ads... haha laughable.

[sanctified Veteran]

The interesting (and worrying) thing about this is that its a symptom of how the market dictate people's life.

Brands have become a dogmatic exercise, you just need to take a look at certain members of this board, like Boz (sorry, but it's the true) or any Apple/Android/Whatever fanboy.

[adam7288]

How many of these paid protesters own an iPhone? Probably most of them.

So you're saying Samsung wanted to incite fanboyism and alienate/insult potential customers? Interesting marketing tactic.
