LG “Waffle” phone and DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES
LG seems to be nicknaming one of its new phones the “waffle” for some reason, probably because the icons on the screen look like a waffle, or the design on the back looks like it’s been put through a waffling process.
This has resulted in one of the most bizarre photoshoots we have yet seen. You can probably guess what is about to unfold if you paid attention to Paragraph (a).
Yep, the phone has been placed on some waffles.
And it gets worse – the phone is now touching moist fruit and is PERILOUSLY CLOSE to some ice cream.
Hopefully that’s just an empty prototype case.

There’s a phone on the plate. On the actual plate. THEY’VE PUT A PHONE ON A FUCKING PLATE WITH SOME FOOD.

Never mind the ice cream, a slide phone like that is going to be fucked if you get maple syrup in it. Or a strawberry pip in the slider mechanism. I’m getting flashbacks of the time I got sand in the lens mechanism on my old camera.

Have you seen the blue one? Actually, don’t Google that at all. You won’t like it.

Really? The best they can do is hit a breakfast place for a photo shoot? That was the best idea in the room?
Piss-poor holding and the waffles look dry.

They DO look dry, actually. Must’ve been there a long time, those waffles. Quite appropriate that they sourced what surely must be the most gormless model on the planet to enact this farrago of nonsense and lies.

Does anyone else really want to eat some waffles now?
I supposes that’s the gamble you take when you put your fairly nondescript phone (aside from the waffle print) next to a popular food stuff. Those waffles, sad and desiccated as they may be, have even temporarily over powered my fondness for Asian ladies. Disasterous photo shoot by all accounts.

It makes me think of this:

I had a poor waffle incident recently. They looked so delicious, in their little packet. Ragged “home made” edge to them. They were dry, flavourless and dissapointing. So I bought a Picnic bar and swore off em.

Considering what their target market is, it’s not surprising that their ad campaign is centered around dry waffles. You’ve got to admit, that’s a truly manly breakfast!
I mean, what kind of a crowd are you going to draw with something like crepes, or cheese-filled blintzes?

That first photo….
I think either she, the photographer or both usually film/ shot far diffrent types of things, to be so comfortable with THAT angle
