Samsung is really reaching…

5RypSn5-1

A new ad from Samsung has started appearing for some people searching “iPhone 6s” on Google, and it’s a pretty hilariously formatted attempt at hijacking searches for Apple’s rumored handset. “Awkward You Obviously – Mean S6 – samsung.com,” the advertisement reads, placed at the top of search results. It’s not clear if this is only appearing on mobile nor exactly what triggers the ad, but it’s definitely a pretty funny attempt at taking advantage of a convenient (or, inconvenient for Apple I guess) naming similarity.

    This was a thing last year too. When I searched “iPhone 6” the top result would be a sponsored ad for the Galaxy S5. This was before September 10th, of course.

    Is the ad even in English?

    “Awkward you obviously.”

    “Mean S6.”

    “samsung.com”

    I don’t want a mean phone. That must be why it dies after only four hours…
