What We Will Never, Ever See from Samsung . . .

LG mobile has commissioned some of the most unusual advertising (public service?) spots one could imagine: Before you text, give it a ponder.  Compare this to other efforts by the Korean Government to encourage responsible behaviour on the internet.  This gives a new meaning to “bearding” and, according to Xeni Jardin (boingboing), is the work of Young and Rubicam in the states.
LG is now THE hub of bearding.

That is a very dense paragraph Elgin… but I get the gist of what you are saying… ;)

“Wang”, I am the hub of cramming everything into a small space.

I have to give the LG guys that signed off on this high marks for having a good sense of style and moxy. Maybe it is time to buy more LG stock.

You’re going to buy their stock because they are good (iyo) at bearding and smokescreening. Glad you’re not trying to make a living as a financial adviser.
