Well, who do you THINK makes Samsung?

I was talking to a guy today about LCD TVs, and I mentioned that the Samsung TVs are the most popular ones we sell. So he asks "Who makes Samsung?".

You'd be surprised, but lots of people ask this incredibly dumb question, no matter what the brand is. And it's not just TVs - people have even asked "Who makes Nobel?".

The ABSOLUTE ONLY time that there's an unusual answer to the question "Who makes brandname?" is when you're talking about the Electrolux family. There you've got Simpson, Westinghouse, Volta, Kelvinator, Dishlex and Chef; all of which are made by Electrolux. Even then, does it matter?

Who makes Samsung?

SAMSUNG DO!

A new one from the files of anti-plasma FUD.

"No, I don't want a plasma, they give off too much radiation."

Oh right! I was wondering why I was growing a third arm. I'll just call Panasonic Spare Parts and order a geiger counter.

EDIT: I just took a look online for "plasma TV radiation" and I found that it is indeed a myth-in-circulation. Now I wish that I'd told her that it was a myth.
