The initiative includes all signage throughout the Terminal Samsung Galaxy S5 terminal—at the entrance and drop-off locations, in the lounges, at security and at the gates. In addition, all 172 digital panels in the main terminal, gate rooms and baggage reclaim areas will feature the rebrand 'Terminal Samsung Galaxy S5' and images of the Galaxy S5 smartphone.

Sounds like something out of the Onion. I've always hated Samsung's marketing, but this is on a 'hole 'nutha level.

We're going to need a checklist for the idiocracy movie, I don't think there's much left of that movie that isn't reality now.

 

[Burger]

Haha what

"Samsung want to call it Terminal Samsung Galaxy S5," said the spokesperson, "and we are relaxed about that."

Yeah, relaxed because of the fucking massive piles of cash this cost Samsung. So tacky.

 

[Acorn]

NHS sponsored by McDonalds, I'm loving it!

 

[D4Danger]

everyone involved should be ashamed.

 

[zephervack]

One step closer, next stop, the white house.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Samsung always do the tackiest shit

 

[Miker]

Samsung's marketing department is on fire.

Problem is everyone associates Heathrow with a bad time.

Terminal Samsung Galaxy S5 sounds like the phone is on it's deathbed

Could they not have arranged the words in less awkward way?

:lol

What an awful name, not to mention a very quickly dated one.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

One step closer, next stop, the white house.

Exactly what I thought.

 

[WayneMorse]

Fuck you Boris.

 

[Slowdive]

Haha what the...

 

[Chili]

Almost as bad as "Wembley Stadium connected by EE".

 

[Enco]

Pretty dumb.

Not gonna make me buy a 5S.

 

[railGUN]

Just rolls off the tongue.

 

[faridmon]

Haha, What the hell?

Is UK that cheap?

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Satire is dead.

 

[Slayer-33]

Good lord, that escalated quickly

Samsung Galaxy S5: the hottest device of YDAU

 

[Acorn]

They should get Mike Goldberg to do the boarding announcements.

 

[Darklord]

It could be ok if it was the "Samsung Terminal" but " Terminal Samsung Galaxy S5"? God damn.

 

[victreeb3l]

If only Samsung spent all that money into hiring talented people who actually know how to design phones and not steal things, that would be nice.

But way to pick a name that sounds like your phone line is on the verge of death lol.

 

[DrFunk]

bloop bloop

 

[Frodo]

"This is a Piccadilly line train to Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 and Heathrow Terminal Samsung Galaxy S5"

CAN'T WAIT!

 

[Timeaisis]

Came for some Idiocracy references.

What is up with Samsung's marketing department as of late?

 

[shira]

Samsung Marketing Department

9¾ out of 10

 

[Incognito]

is this for fucking real?

 

[Bomber Bob]

Welp, Why even bother?

 

[Frodo]

Welp, Why even bother?

We are talking about it, so...

 

[Kurdel]

is this for fucking real?

For a while at least:

The spokesperson explained that Samsung hasn’t purchased permanent naming rights to the terminal—the brandsplosion is temporary and tied to Samsung’s larger Galaxy S5 marketing campaign efforts.

 

[DieH@rd]

"Terminal Samsung Galaxy" would be kinda OK... but adding S5 sounds so shitty.

 

[HammerOfThor]

So are they gonna do this for every terminal every year?

 

[Timeaisis]

Looking forward to Terminal HTC One.

 

[Frodo]

So are they gonna do this for every terminal every year?

If they fund the construction of a Terminal 6... maybe?

 

[Randoug]

Just what I need, more lagging between flights.
