Update: Samsung has since made this video private because "it was clearly upsetting some people," according to a rep.
We intend to review the situation with our client as soon as possible. I’m sorry for the inconvenience this no doubt causes you, and I’ll let you know if the situation changes.
Can a new hard drive make you change your mind about trashing your laptop? How about if your laptop looks like a puppy?
Well, you have us there, Samsung. This ad makes the offbeat argument that your laptop has feelings, too. Samsung, which is promoting its Solid State Drives with the ad, presents a scenario in which notebooks are being dumped en masse much like puppies heading for their dire disposal at the pound. Just as "fixing" your dog can solve all kinds of problems, so can fixing your computer with a new SSD.
The ad follows another unique argument from Samsung in which meme Overly Attached Girlfriend morphed into Overly Attached Computer. That ad posited that your computer could grow passive aggressive and leak all your secrets if its hard drive isn't updated. The ad has racked up 3 million views on YouTube.
