Microsoft Pays $44 Million To Samsung and Nokia For Mango Marketing
CSHARP123 writes "Ballmer opened up the company's coffers to Nokia and Samsung for a holiday blitz of Mango marketing. Hold onto your hats though, it's no carte blanche access to Redmond's Gringotts. According to a report on Mobile Magazine, inside sources claim MS has set aside £28 million (about $44 million) for the endeavor, with about £20 million of that reserved for Nokia's first Windows Phone 7.5 handset. This joint marketing effort is reportedly a broader extension of the cooperative agreements all parties agreed to, ensuring future WP devices get the media saturation they deserve. Samsung is also due to unveil a major Christmas ad push for the Omnia W with an estimated £8m spend. Maybe this is what Samsung gets for making a deal on patents to cover Android OS? Not a bad deal for Samsung."
For a man who is supposedly straight, you sure do think about dicks a lot.
Yeah, what you said.
I wish more people recognized the gay propaganda machine for the danger it is. I used to like pussy, I mean I loved it. Any chance I had to score with a chick and I took it. But then the gay propaganda machine got me. After a few rainbow-inspired songs, a my-two-mommies book, and an exercise class inspired by Richard Simmons I went totally gay. Now I can't get enough dick.
I used to think my sexual preference was something I was born with. As a kid I would just respond to the sight of a pretty girl. But clearly I was wrong. I am a classic example of the power of the pink-side.
