Samsung, maker of the troubled Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, has another problem on its hands.
U.S. regulators on Wednesday warned owners of certain top-loading Samsung washing machines of “safety issues” following reports that some have exploded.
If you own a Samsung product, you should keep it in a bomb shelter.
There’s an ancient (in Internet time) funny Flash animation called “Samsung Means To Come.” It’s all about seeing a billboard with those words on it, and that curious use of the English phrase “to come.” Now, what was then probably an awkward translation that resulted in a humorous interpretation can be extended via additional innuendo to be read as meaning “Samsung Means To Explode.” 🙂
If you still have Flash installed I think the animation can be seen here (I deinstalled Flash a long time ago, so I can’t verify if this still works):

My range/oven is a Samsung.
It doesn’t worry me.
I’m starting to look at my Samsung TV with suspicion.
ME TOO!
If it’s a smart tv with an embedded webcam in the bezel, it might be looking at you with suspicion too lol.
I don’t wish death or disfigurement or property damage on anyone, but I have to admit there’s a glee in my heart that it’s Samsung. I wouldn’t feel this way if it were LG or Sony or really any other company.
This feels like so much karmic justice.

Sadly, this old news here Australia.
All my beer is in a Samsung ‘fridge. Should I take it out and put the marshmallows in instead?
Ditto (Samsung washing machine here).
Only cook your food to 60% doneness.
Just for safety.
Yes. But only if it’s a Samsung Toaster-Fridge.
It’s not as if Australia has problems enough with bushfires…
