A weekly roundup of talking points, sans effort

Weekly high

This Samsung US advert has it all, well, actually it’s mainly got a character that represents everybody’s worst nightmare- the computer loading icon- and a load of people smashing up each other’s laptops, tablets, and TVs. Excellent production fun, we imagine.

Weekly low

Elsewhere 24million monsters is indicative of how many fans Mother Monster, AKA Lady Ga Ga, actually has.
