As we told you before, Samsung is spending huge advertising dollars to promote the Samsung Galaxy Note. Now they have launched the FCU which if you anagram it and add a "k" you get a get swear word (LOL?).
These quirky webisodes feature Samsung Galaxy Note smartphones used by an odd ball team of fact checkers. There are five entire webisodes (FCUisodes) highlighting the Samsung Galaxy Note.
Fact Checkers Unit ( big-mustached Russell and Dylan) threaten to crash the costume ball fund-raiser thingy. Using their Galaxy Notes, the Unit is able to gather their factual evidence, but not before incurring the wrath of Moby.
We can't figure out if the episodes are actually humourous or insulting to Americans. Samsung will try anything to sell its smartphones. For instance, the doofus duo end up in a recording studio where they record the song, 'There’s a Party in my Mouth.” Episode 3 is titled "Excessive Gas." In episode 4 the Fact Checkers Unit assignment is to find out if DMC (from rap super-group Run DMC) really thinks he’s a king and has locked himself in a castle.
A women dressed as a daisy at a costume party says, "You fact checked me and you know I have avoided personality disorder, so I'm incapable of love."
Some of these videos have had as many as 96 views. When we check back and they have million of views then we'll know the campaign is working.
We would like to know after watching all five of the videos, would they make you consider buying a Samsung Galaxy Note?

Samsung likes to do things in big way, it commissioned the world's largest cartoon that was drawn on the Samsung Galaxy Note. Samsung also aired a 90 second nine million dollar or more Super Bowl commercial. This superphone was noted as one of the reasons for Samsung's success in 2011.
