Get ready to troll-LOL. HTC and LG gate-crash Samsung’s big launch of the S4.

A few weeks ago Samsung had a big week, as they announced their product of the year – the S4.

But as people queued in the cold to get in to the conference, HTC sent out a team to hand out hot chocolate to all the journo’s freezing their bums off – very cheeky! (sorry!)

Well… great minds think alike as LG bought as much media space in Times Square – where Samsung was broadcasting the event live. LG used this space to conflict the billboards Samsung had up.

LG used the square digital banner directly above one of Samsung’s spots (inset above left), and is copying it by advertising its Optimus G and telling potential new phone buyers that LG’s quad-core mobile is “here 4 you now.”

A bit of karma for Samsung, since they did try this lame stunt.

Best use of a mapping software yet?

A helicopter flyover of a crowded urban city can make for an awesome and dramatic establishing shot in a film. But an expensive one, too, making them impractical for most amateur filmmakers. 

Or so we assumed until we saw the fantastic flyover footage Paul Wex was able to create using Nokia’s Here mapping service, and a hell of a lot of patience.

Ford’s huge PR disaster.

The images were supposed to advertise the sedan’s spacious cargo area but Ford has since issued an apology and chastised the outside ad agency who publicized the artwork.

The drawings were developed by a young creative team at JWT India, an advertising firm owned by the WPP Group.

They were uploaded to the AdsOfTheWorld website without agency or client sign off.

Known for its spacious storage, the Figo’s tagline is, ‘Leave your worries behind with Figo’s extra-large boot.’

In the first creative mock up “A list” celeb Paris Hilton winks as she glances at her reality TV rivals, Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, tied up and bound while they squeeze into the back of the car. The second is of that French Italian president nobody cares about.

Ford has had their PR team based in Asia/Pacific working all over the weekend to sort out the issue which has gone… here it comes… VIRAL!
