Notes to Eddie before posting:
- Check people in India are not all dwarfs
- Have CDs gotten bigger? Maybe this is like a CD LP? or a CD 78?
- Is it unreasonable to expect people who make CDs to know how big they are? They seem so happy
Samsung: XXL-CD

what, you mean cd's aren't bigger than your head?
It looks like one of those old Laser Discs from the 80's :)
all I know is that the dude has better cleavage than the chick.
They're bowing to humankinds' innate "size matters" mentality. Someone seeing that picture is going to register subconsciously that Samsung's CDs are somehow, I can't quite tell how, "better" than their rivals'. It will not matter that no amount of forcing will get them into a standard CD drive, you get more CD for your buck, dammit!
I get a 1994 vibe from this... and it was probably a 80s laser disc lol
Nasty hobbitsess...stealing our CD's's...We'll show them, won't we? My preciousss...
It's got 52x the normal capacity! It's gotta be bigger!
dude...it is one of those 45 rpm cds. everyone knows that
Where are his head phones plugged into? haha
I'm guessing the "sensible bit of Samsung" wasn't part of the artistic process.
The CD of homeshoolers, my something can something something, I don't know....
Did you know that if a CD is bigger than your face, it means you have cancer?
Yet, mysteriously, they got the hand reflection right in the insanely oversize disc.
"Where are his head phones plugged into?"
They aren't plugged nowhere, they're blootoof.
I like how the guy wears that vest with nothing underneath. Not only does it look sharp in a hot granny kind of way, especially with only one or two buttons closed at bellybottom height, it's also very practical from a "have fun washing and drying that handwash only/don't tumble piece of apparel every other day" point of view.
But I guess the house husband in me is missing the point here.
"they got the hand reflection right in the insanely oversize disc"
Of course they did. They're professionals.
(Verification: plate. Now isn't that ridiculously fitting?)
They also fail to realize that simply putting on headphones and holding a CD dosen't allow you to listen to it.
I guess Laser Disks are finally the medium of choice!
Way too small to be a laserdisc.

They just used the all new "Make my product bigger cream" on this image...
Nice Post

Perhaps the reason that the guy's cleavage is better is related to the fact that the cardigan he's wearing is a woman's one, to judge from the way it buttons up. Maybe he's his own girlfriend and he's somehow trying to prove a point.
i really do wonder even in india or europe WHY would the designer/art director enlarge the product to about twice its actual size?
hilarious!!!! I love it!!!

Then she's wearing a man's shirt or this image was mirrored ;)
LOL
Who cares about the clothes guys?
They have invented a huge cd that sends music via bluetooth to un-wired headphones!
Now, that's what i call SCIENCE!
Go Samsung!

laser disk!!!
Isn't that the laser disc that has the Doomsday Book on it?
WV: elbut - nobut elbut!
It fell prey to the dreaded client curse "Make the product bigger".
Have you ever seen somebody lick the chutney spoon in an Indian Restaurant and put it back? This would never have happened under the Tories.
objects enlarged to show texture?
er, pootpoot, what's a bellybottom...?
Laserdiscs are the size of LP's (to use another archaic standard) or 9" diameter. A laserdisk would be much larger than either head.
This is simply a case of pasting a cd and not sizing it properly.
The dude is wearing a rather effeminate sweater...
OK. A CD is 4.75 inches/120 mm in diameter. This statuesque chicita is pretty danged close to having a 1.3 CD sized head. The rule of thumb for proportions (except for thumbs) is 7 to 8 heads high be the whole body.
Put all that together and the female model works out to be 47 inches / 1.2 Meters tall. It could happen. Riiight!
Maybe the photographer took the rule of always marrying someone with small hands and made it a lifelong obsession...
I'm just wondering how rare and exotic CDs are, if they couldn't photograph a model holding an actual CD.
"er, pootpoot, what's a bellybottom...?"
Well, duh, it's the bottom of your belly!
lol, sorry, I'm not a native speaker, if this wasn't already perfectly obvious. I probably meant bellybutton.
Aerosmith:
last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
she said now stop that jivin'
now whip out your big 10 inch
CD of a band that plays those blues
well a band that plays the blues
she just loves my big 10 inch
CD of her favorite blues
Those are just Hobbits.

Um - the size of the CD is one thing, but what the heck is going on with that dude's arm??? Compare the hand on is ear with the part of the arm below the disc and obviously, something went very wrong with that image....
i, too, find the guy's upright arm concerning.
omg what is wrong with that girls finger
I always thought you needed to plug in your headphones!
Ahhhh. Please check left side of woman.Another hand of a man is held beside him!!!!
The pants the guy is wearing has the button in th wrong side. I think the image was mirroed also. I'm agree with Eric.
somethings up with her finger also
I too am more concerned about her finger!
Perhaps they think we in western are lesser people and a CD must be so great for us ;)
Yes! Laser discs! Those people are, in fact, HUGE!
Is it just me or is that Ziva from NCIS??
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

looks more like an old vinyl record in the image, but someone did not notice and thought that CDs are the same size. Vinyl single = 178 mm, CD = 120 mm. Vinyl LP = 305 mm.
Bonus points: The lovely lady is holding the hand of someone who doesn't exist. Or the guy has a third, really really long arm.
