So Samsung's thinking is: If you walk up to a line of people waiting to get into the hottest restaurant in town and hand them a McDonald's coupon, not only will they feel like idiots for waiting on line but people who see this will decide that restaurant wasn't all that great after all, and also head to McDonald's.
So if the USA is obsessed with Apple - the answer is to make fun of Apple? Not smart, Samsung!
Apple won by being they best they could be, not by trying to out do Microsoft. Samsung should be the best they can be. And the rubber has to meet the road. Who cares what ads they put out. They need a product you can actually purchase and use that is awesome. Samsung doesn't even have their own OS like Apple does. So what can Samsung really do besides promote someone ELSE's operating system? In a company's heart and soul, you just cannot promote someone else's stuff with the same spirit you can promote your own.
Wow. Many of you do not realize that these ads are working. Samsung nearly equaled Apple iOS in sales with 35million units. Clearly the ads are working. Ridiculing Apple iOS buyers waiting on line has touched a chord with the public. This will be fun to watch at Superbowl.

I'm sorry, where did you get your figures from?? Samsung don't report sales figures. Yet again you fail.

Branding is very important, and it's never going to happen with a name and logo like "Samsung"...

No one will care about that.
And the iPhone line waiter mocking commercials aren't trying to attract those who would be in line.
The Logo... no impression -- I'd have to look it up... not worth the effort
The brand name...maybe -- see below *
The product name... LOL what are they thinking -- It's an iPhone, Beemer, Corvette, T-Bird, Dusey... those are product names... (as opposed to spec sheets)

What? WHAT?
Is Sammy going to run an ad making fun of those waiting in line to get into the Superbowl?
Good idea, that!
Let's see... If I ridicule and embarrass you in public... will you be... won't you be my friend?
You have been samsunged.... Pondering about that. What it really means is: you have been copied.
To samsung, that should be another phrase for "to rip off".
Excellent
If your iPhone happens to get samsunged, use "Where's My iPhone" and "Remote Wipe" before the samsung has a chance to samsung any of your personal data.
Samsung really has it's act together. Let's bash people for buying a quality product that's not ours (which makes us look like a bunch of miserable wannabe posers) and then *force* people to buy our product with ads because, you know, the public are just mindless sheep that will do what we tell them to do (especially if we give the crap away for free that we make except for the ones with the actual up-to-date OS on them). Let's not focus on making anything innovative, let alone anything that is user-focused because we are a profit driven and clueless corporation that thinks our poo poo don't phew phew.

But I thought that Samesung sold more smartphones than Apple in the previous quarter. They're slipping! Samsung is doomed!
Oh, and iOS sales are much more than 35m - 35m is iPhones alone.
Unfortunately Apple's success is derived from being a market leader in terms of innovation, not advertising. Samsung can certainly replicate Apple's branding, advertising, product designs, and so on, but Samsung cannot overtake Apple because it cannot replicate Apple's history of market disruption, nor its rate of innovation.* Apple's success stems from its corporate culture; Samsung is cultivating a copyist culture, and that means that Samsung will always follow, and Apple will continue to lead.
*Note: don't confuse innovation (Apple) with invention(Samsung).

Yeah, good luck with that.

Yep. The ads are clearly working.

For this interview was Ms. Lee dressed in an outfit similar to one of Lady Gaga's?

Yep. According to your source, Samsung sold 35 M smartphones in the 4th quarter.
Apple sold 37 M smarthpones.
So tell me again how the ad is working?
Did I peg it?
