When I got here, I saw that commercial once and refused to turn on my tv for another month because it scared the living hell out of me. I still have nightmares about the thing... it just isn't right. The voices in my head are telling me to find whoever makes that commercial and slowly torture to death anyone involved with it.

Well for me it took seeing that horrible horrible thing in commercial on the movie screen before seeing movies to put the fear into me. Now I shudder whenever I see that thing on the subways.

thanks peppergirl!

What is really sick is that he is video chatting with one of his K-girlfriends.
I don't even want to think about it.
What gets me is not that the commercials are on TV, but that the idea was actually given the green light.

I think you are all missing the point of the commercial. It shows the portability of the laptop computer. It is portable like a joey is portable. It is a good commercial. It is for the Samsung Sens series. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE POUCH!

There is something inherently wrong with a kangaroo saying annyeong haseyo?

i started giggling in the middle of that commercial. I don't know why. Then he walked into the pole and i stopped.

But i will say that i'll go out of my way to avoid buying sens computers.


Ceylon Tea however will be drank solely for it's description. Talk about a tea!!

The new SENS are actually good computers. The new X-series of lightweight, portable laptops would have been a shoe in for me if they supplied more for multimedia.

So if you had a kangaroo pouch, what would you put in it? Your laptop? Toilet paper? Pepperoes? Other posters?

Actually - I hate the commerials..... (being Aussie and all)

Kangaroos CANNOT walk - it is physically impossible for them to do so - they can ONLY hop.... (and pigs can fly?)

Second - I see so many pictures of kangaroos and koalas in korea on taxi's, transport/removal vehicles, products etc etc - why are they using a national animal and symbol or another country to advertise their products....?

Third... the kangaroo on the commercial looks a bit psycho...

Do I need to tell you what would happen if that kangaroo was actually in the outback and at a distance from a "cockie" (Aussie term for livestock farmer) with a gun?
