\"samesunged\"<\/a><\/p>\n

John Gruber<\/a> linked to a Universal Studio commercial<\/a> that is a copy of Apple’s Christmas commercial<\/a> with a few changes: the protagonist is a girl instead of a boy, the location is Universal Studios and not a family home, the creation is a photo album and not a movie and they are using Samsung phones and not iPhones. Nothing exceptional nor unexpected. I wouldn’t even be surprised if the entire B2C \ucd94\ucc9c \ubaa9\ub85d\uc5d0 \ub530\ub77c\uc11c<\/a> commercial was financed by Samsung.<\/p>\n

However noteworthy was a comment with a new word that I was amazed is not in popular use. User ebernet<\/a> simply said, “Samesunged!”. How is this word not part of the daily lexicon? It should have followed xeroxed and googled and be a common verb by now. Googling proves it to have been used only three times, the oldest attribution being user forcenine<\/a> on Mac Rumors, who has only 16 posts but this could be his contribution to our shared dictionary.<\/p>\n

I don’t think it needs to apply to the actual Samsung brand pruducts or Apple, anything can be samesunged:
\nTransmit's icon is often <\/code><\/code>samesunged<\/a>.<\/code><\/p>\n

The guitar riff in <\/code><\/code>Nirvana’s Come As You Are<\/a> is a samesung of <\/code><\/code><\/code>Eighties by the Killing Jokes<\/a>.
\n<\/code>
\nNow get out there and start using samesung. If we can get Colbert to make it the word of the day, I think we have a chance of putting it in the dictionary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
