Samsung Rains Paper Airplanes From Space

itwbennett writes "Note to Samsung: If you want to prove how reliable your SD memory cards are, don't hire 'the U.K.'s leading paper plane professional' to build you 100 special paper aircraft. And then definitely don't use a giant helium balloon to send them 122,503 feet into space. Because while some of the planes will fly as far as Sydney and Bangalore, chances are that all the press you'll get will be about the crazy stunt and no one will remember a thing about the SD cards."

Reminds me of the WKRP turkey drop

[pjbgravely]

"It's a helicopter, and it's coming this way. It's flying something behind it, I can't quite make it out, it's a large banner and it says, uh - Happy... Thaaaaanksss... giving! ... From ... W ... K ... R... P!! No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers... I can't tell just yet what they are, but - Oh my God, Johnny, they're turkeys!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenburg tragedy has there been anything like this!"

Okay... But sticking them in your ass and running down the street naked yelling "I'm a camera! I'm a camera!" is hardly normal use.

This is Samsung's method for targeting slashdot.

1. Put the engineers in charge of marketing for a day.

2. Have someone assess the marketing value of the mess and write an article.

3. Submit said article to slashdot.

4. ???

5. Profit!!

6. Laugh maniacally as you patent a business method for bypassing adblock via social engineering and interdisciplinary cross-training.

As God is my witness,

I thought SD cards could fly.
