Smart Thief :: It was an AD by LG

Feb. 16, LG came clean through LG's official blog (blog.lge.com in Korean version) about a Youtube video clip which is known as 'Smart Thief'.

Hakki Tosunlar, HE marketing manager in LG Holland, said that before CES 2012 they have tried to find out the simplest and smartest way to appeal the thinnest OLED Smart TV in the world. That was the bottom line to create this AD. This AD was created by Y&R (http://www.yr.nl/www/) and hired unknown actors for reality. Y&R opened this video in its website either.
