Have you seen the new series of commercials from Samsung? They all feature a guy with a waist-length ponytail. A pretty good one too; nice and thick and straight. I was impressed that they would cast someone like that for their commercials.
Then I came home and watched a few with the sound turned on. Turns out, they're making fun of the guy! He works for the competition... And he's stubborn, set in his ways and unhelpful. So its a subtle slam against the competition and I cannot help but wonder if the picked him because of the hair. "Hey, how can we make this guy even more goofy? I know, lets get someone with ridiculous long hair..."
Nice hair though. Very nice.
Here is a link to the ad in question.
BTW, i'm partial to Apple, if you love malicious software, sloppy programming, then you'll love the Android ecosystem. Had an Android phone, it crashed when the sloppy programming crashed the OS.
Samsung ad with long hared dudeNever heard about this ad until this post.Thanks to LHIA for the link.I agree the guy has great hair with a wonderful ponytail but yes,this ad does show him in a bad light.Hard to say whether or not it was intentional using a longhair as the villain here.I would think in this day and age being different is more applauded than in the past but who knows what was in the mind of its creator.Cheers

i don't agree it shows him in a bad light. Personally I feel the iphoen is a superior device. I'd be hesitant to get another Android phone with the sloppy programing, the malicious software. The android store (Google play) had a number of malicious apps that they were very slow to remove. Since i don't like apps that steal banking information i'll stick with Apple.
I don't think it shows him as the villain at all. He's just portraying a guy who wants to keep his job and has to tow the corporate line.
Sometimes you just have to do what you have to pay the bills.

...it almost appears he wants to spill the beans and defect.
remember it is a Samsung ad, so it's bound to be biased.
Thanks for posting that.... I was going to do so and forgot!
