Galaxy Fail!
In the grand scheme of things, this wouldn’t be considered a big deal. This is annoying, though. It’s the type of annoying that’s like an itchy patch of dry skin that’s located in an area of the back that’s hard to reach and a backscratcher is nowhere to be found.
Here it is:
Samsung recently released Galaxy – a kind of smart phone turned into a wrist communicator. So, the company’s been running television commercials featuring clips of wrist communicators from different tv shows and movies. The clips are from:
Dick Tracy
The Jetsons
Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers
Knight Rider
Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot
Inspector Gadget
Predator
Star Trek (the 1979 movie)
Get Smart
Babylon 5
Flash Gordon
The Flintstones
Thunderbirds
Notice anything? I re-watched the commercials several times to make sure I didn’t miss a quick flash of a few frames, yet there was no sign.
So how – how?!? – could Samsung go with this ad campaign without Gatchaman?!

I notice that myself and you've beat me to the punch, EW. Maybe they asked and were told no due to the movie?

THAT'S OK, FOLKS!
I'm sure Apple has got it covered and when the i-communicator comes out, it will be advertised by Anderson himself!

Pardon my skepticism, DT, but I won't believe it until I see it!

EW, my tongue was so deep in my cheek, I had trouble getting it out!

Well if they can do that iWatch thing, they can make a communicator! LOL.

My cell is very sensitive to being brushed (when I place it in my pocket) when the screen is up and does odd things. What will this wrist cell do every time your shirt sleeve rubs over it?

Maybe it will purr, "Oh yeah, baby, I like that!"

maybe that's why the team are always wearing short sleeved t-shirts?

If my cell starts purring at me, I'm running it over.
I had a Saab that got irritated if you had anything in the front passenger seat without the use of the seatbelt. I would get a message on a small screen over the steering wheel that read 'Put on your seatbelt!' It had the exclamation point. Since I had mine on, I ignored it. It didn't like being ignored - then an annoying beeping sound would start.

Good point, KT. The lady in the commercial has short sleeves as well.

I know what you're talking about. That was the only clip I couldn't identify, so I didn't mention it. (It seems I've been coming off as being fairly stupid lately, so I was hoping nobody would notice the omission.)

Not at all. Marine Boy was on in 1970, so its been a long time. I've never seen it since. It's the first real cartoon I remember.
