Here's an amusing new AT&T spot from BBDO New York promoting the Samsung Infuse 4G handset. A guy at lunch puts his Infuse on the table, but the spider photo on the screen looks so real (thanks to phone's bright colors) that the guy's table mates think it's a real spider. A woman screams bloody murder; a guy attacks the phone with his shoe. Clearly, Samsung doesn't mind someone attacking its products in TV ads—a refreshing change from the fuss that Apple made when its precious iPad was mistreated in a Newsday spot.
