Apple’s cult following mocked by Samsung advert

Now who doesn’t love a satire? And a satire it is, the new Samsung Galaxy  SII advert telling customers that “the next big thing is already here”. It is funny, refreshing and tremendously daring as it mocks the die-hard Apple’s cult following. Lines such as “I could never get a Samsung – I’m creative,” to which another customer responds “dude, you’re a barista.” crack me up further. The spoof is wholly obscured by remarks like “uh oh – the blogs are saying the battery looks sketchy,” or “if it looks the same, how will people know I upgraded?” but a quick look of an iPhone can be clearly seen in the footage. The 60-second advert points out to some of the SII’s remarkable features – specifically the huge, vivacious screen and 4G potential.
