Samsung's Happy Galaxy Tab Users Are Actors

Posted by timothy on from the why-discriminate-against-actors? dept.

harrymcc writes "At the CTIA Wireless show in Orlando this week, Samsung unveiled new Galaxy Tab tablets and showed videos of interviews with 'true-life' users who raved about the Tab, including a travel writer, a filmmaker, and a real-estate CEO. One problem: the writer and the CEO are actually New York stage actors."

    This is nothing compared to what I learned about Apple's Mac ads... Get this... the guy who says "I'm a mac..." he isn't actually a computer at all! Neither is PC! I couldn't believe it, but it was a pretty reliable source who told me this.

    I'm a happy Galaxy Tab user, I just don't feel the need to prance around and sing about it.

    Then obviously you're not holding it right ;-)

    Oh, the liar there is whoever named the department, not those who work there!

    Support Agent: No sir, we haven't heard of any other reports of spiders coming out of our cell phones. You must have left it somewhere the spiders could get to it.
    Customer: What? There are 1,000's of posts about this in your support forums!
    Support Agent: We're not responsible for what people post in our forums.
    Customer: Hey, look, your CEO is on the news. He's been taken to the hospital with what appears to be a poisonous spider bite!
    Support Agent: That's impossible sir. I know for a fact that our CEO uses the model that uses shellfish extract for it's finish and has the random scorpion in the box. He does not use the model that has the spiders in it.
