The Foresight of Samsung: Rambo XXII and the VCR
I was reading through an old National Geographic from June 1989 when I came across an ad that put a smile on my face.
Probably the funniest thing about it is the attention to detail. Note how "Rambo XXII" came out in 2004 and is rated... G ??!? I'm assuming that by number twenty-two the plot lines have become something like "Rambo XXII: Rambo starts a small business." The irony continues because the real Rambo IV is expected in spring of 2007 (AD).
It's been at least two generations of video technology since VHS was "The future of electronics" but I've got to give the Samsung marketing team some credit on this one. Click on the images to enlarge.
