Good job, good effort by the intern running the Samsung Arabia Twitter account here. Large corporations putting their social media foot in their social media mouth has been one of the pleasant surprises of the World Cup. Right up there with me getting big time enjoyment out of yelling things such as “STRIKE IT!” and “HAVE A GO!” and “GO ON!” when a team gets even remotely close to the goal. Try it out today. You’ll have fun, promise.
A few things about this tweet:
1. Landon Donovan isn’t playing today. Duh. He’s not even on the team. Clean it up, Samsung Arabia.
2. Why is Landon Donovan dressed like a robot? Maybe the most curious thing about the tweet.
3. They still haven’t removed the tweet which might be my favorite part. Samsung Arabia basically saying, “fuck it, nobody will notice” despite everyone noticing.
4. There’s a Samsung Arabia? And why?
