Oh the product was born mobile.

 

[RossMAN]

Did they really mention Gangnam Style?

 

[dighn]

it's hilarious. whoever organized this should look into writing comedy.

 

[Drako]

Maroon Five? WTF.

It was good up until then.

 

[badb0y]

LOL

 

[ZaneNBK]

Maroon Five? WTF.

It was good up until then.

That's what the kids these days listen too... them and The Backstreet Boys... right? .... right? *looks hopeful*

 

[ViRGE]

Get the mind bleach! Get the mind bleach! Oh god, the suffering! :|

That was awesome. One of those things where you are "embarrassed for them." I mean who are they trying to appeal to when the thing is like a saturday night live skit? If neither young nor old get it, you are in trouble.

 

[Broheim]

reminds me of the Jabberwocky episode of Better off Ted ...

 

[Zeze]

Did they really mention Gangnam Style?

What made me cringe was that they pronounced it Gang-nam Style, like Gangster.

It should be Ga'ngnam Style.

 

[Homerboy]

The funny thing with Maroon 5 is they didn't have the rights to stream the music or something. So, as you noticed, the people there obviously heard Maroon 5 play, but if you were watching the streaming feed, you heard whatever music was dubbed over it.

I cringed the whole clip. Between the idiots at the beginning and the old guy trying to be cool...wtf...

 

[Ichinisan]

The vibe I got from that is the same one I get when I see a 55 year old man shopping at Hollister.

Why are you inside Hollister to witness this?

I saw him tapping the microphone as if it was not working.

And what's most embarrassing in all of this is that not only does Qualcomm think of us as frivolous, delusional, ambulatory ATM machines, but there's a good chance that the seller of the next mobile device you buy does too.

Your work? Care to explain yourself before I have you banned as being a threat to all of humanity?

Thanks for the link. I was thinking along that line, but my thoughts had not coalesced. Then I read your link and there it was -

See, we weren't the audience for Qualcomm's "Born Mobile" performance. We were the subject.
And what's most embarrassing in all of this is that not only does Qualcomm think of us as frivolous, delusional, ambulatory ATM machines, but there's a good chance that the seller of the next mobile device you buy does too.
Sadly, they're probably right.
