They probably all know he is not on the team but they don't care, the ad is already paid for so send it.


     

    Further illustrating the company's utter lack of class.

    Not at all. When Samscum stops spending $14B to jam their obnoxious propaganda down our throats, then we'll stop raking them over the coals every time they do what they do best, which is to show what a lowlife company they are.

    They should hire Samsung to teach them how to cheat.

    Not really newsworthy....

    So un-newsworthy that you felt obliged to comment on it.

    I can spot a DED hit piece just by the title.

    I can spy a troll just by his username.

    Tweets are not ads. 

     

    And yes, it did most certainly did "say" Donavan was on the team and playing. Which is why the embarrassing tweet was eventually taken down.

     

    What motivates you to invent such contorted logic to explain away such an obvious flub? Absolutely bizarre.

    I guess I missed the part of the tweet that said he was playing on the team. And, perhaps you should look up the definition of the word "perhaps". I used it as the opening of a possible scenario not arguing it as any sort of definitive theorem as you do so frequently with your opinions.

    I'd be shocked if they hadn't already.

    Your posts are already so senile and stale, it really doesn't matter what you are insinuating.

    I just met a Korean woman on my flight to Denver. She owned an iPhone because she said "Samsung is corrupt". She said that even the President fears the head of Samsung. She also said they control grocery stores or food I'm not sure what she meant by that, but went on to say that they own all the Starbucks because they weren't going to have it any other way. This is the first I have heard of things like this. She also said "Americans don't know and don't care they just keep buying Samsung.
    Can we have someone else from S. Korea corroborate this, I prefer first accounts.

    Your lack of self-awareness still amazes me.

    That's not the first South Korean individual I've spoken to who says the exact same thing. Samsung basically owns S Korea, the government, and its people.

    I met a guy, very high up in Microsoft last week. I asked if he used Microsoft phones, he swiftly responded "like ****" and pulled out an iPhone :)

    Was it Sundar Pichai?

    this makes so much sense! especially the grocery store part. samsung originally was a vegetable distributor who eventually wanted to branch out and rule everything.

    P.S. im on a 1st gen iPod touch running iOS 5.

    WHY THE **** is "Samsung" in my autocorrect dictionay?!! and capitalized to book!!
