that commercial is a terrible piece of advertising. I would have gotten a samsung for testing because its the best android phone (as far as i can tell as an iphone user) but i won't anymore. Telling your potential customers that they are idiots isn't a good strategy. I'll buy a nexus, htc, or motorola instead.

Apple was accused of calling their own customers idiots with their 'Genius' ads (which they quickly discontinued). I'm assuming you will also be boycotting Apple?
Funny, that is exactly why I don't use Apple products.
> Telling your potential customers that they are idiots

Their potential customers are not people standing in line for hours to buy an iPhone, so the ad is spot on.
