LG’s Pranks Customers with Scary TV

  • PDF

LG ad

LG promotes the high definition of its TVs by scaring customers, shocking them with reality pranks.

Not for the faint of heart, LG makes its point about their realistic UHD displays: in one case by setting up job interviews and treating would-be job applicants to ultra high definition reality pranks.

Or how about another ad where they use their display as the floor in a lift, a floor that seems to disappear under your feet as the lift starts to move…

Yes, some of the “pranked” did not appreciate the LG effort; they often left mumbling something about “too much reality.” Take a look and you’ll see why…enjoy the pain of the pranked and just be glad it isn’t you.
