Korea and Its Electronics

Now, I like LG as a brand. They’re not the greatest, but they’ve always done me well. Most people think (thanks to their extensive marketing campaign) that LG stands for “Life’s Good”. This proves not to be the case.

In fact, it stands for the much less confidence filling name of “Lucky Goldstar”.

While someone in their marketing department clearly clued into the notion that Lucky Goldstar might sound odd to North Americans, whoever handles their user interfaces clearly wasn’t briefed.

May I present: My new (hilarious) TV.
