<p>What’s the big takeaway from 2013? Well, it has to be that Samsung has ushered us into the era of the smartwatch, right? The creepy, weirdo era of the smartwatch.</p>
<p>So, hopefully you’ve digested your holiday cheer, because if you watch
this watch ad you may technicolor cheer. The Macalope will provide a synopsis, to spare you from having to rub mistletoe in your eyes. Two guys are on a ski lift with an attractive blonde woman between them. One is an oaf (who is inexplicably carrying his skis), fumbling with his smartphone while the other is suavely making time with the “pretty lady” (he actually calls her that) through the power of the Galaxy Gear smartwatch.</p>
<p>Really.</p>
<p>
Then it gets creepy. Oh, you thought it was already creepy? Oh, well, that’s because you have a sense of decency, unlike the people who made this ad. Galaxy Gear owner “Jack” (cough) follows “Aimee” down the slope and takes pictures and video of her with his watch without her knowing it. When he catches up to her she’s impressed instead of completely freaked out. Because … well, the Macalope’s not sure, because that’s not a real reaction a human being would have. He hopes it means that Aimee is actually a vampire and later devours Jack. (Oh, God, somebody please make that ending.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2082964/the-macalope-jerkwatch.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
