We're not sure what LG expected when it invited Micheal Bay to speak about the company's promotional support of
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen at CTIA, but let's be honest -- they probably should have known dude was going to
blow something up. Unfortunately for the gathered LG employees, this time Mike-Mike delivered a figurative explosion, telling the crowd "I don't know anything about mobile phones. In fact, look at my phone -- it's a thirty-nine dollar Samsung." Ouch -- that's roughly the equivalent of throwing a Ford in with the rest of the Autobots. Making matters worse, LG president of mobile products Juno Cho tried to salvage the moment by offering Bay his personal phone, but was rebuffed because "all my contacts are in the other one." Yeah, that's probably not the best way to play it -- although we're guessing Samsung's already angling for
TouchWiz to feature prominently in Transformers 3.

Oh, and I hope he doesn't make this version suck as much.
Fuck off and die, you worthless subhuman.
All spineless scumbags like you deserve only to be exterminated.
Hardly surprising. This was the guy who ranted that he wouldn't do Transformers II with Paramount because they dropped Blu-Ray, then suddenly changed his mind after meeting with Paramount execs.
Not my first choice to be a spokesperson for anything.
What a tool.
It's LG's own fault. They should have checked this out ahead of time.
Yeah someone really dropped the ball on that one.
He probably didn't want to be up there in the first place, so he decided to play dumb. Either that or he really is stupid.
.... and cue yet another slow motion explosion escape.
Michael Bay is the 'Nickelback' of movie makers.
If LG were smart enough they could use his words in their favour.They could say for example:"Look,Michael really doesn't know anything about phones if he uses cheap Samsung."
that made my night
they could have at least given him an LG kc910 for starters...horrible publicity stunt
