Extreme Sheep LED Art-Megan Mullet




The following link is to a you tube video advertising a new line of HD televisions from Samsung Electronics:



An article posted through a blog for nytimes.com caught my attention when I saw sheep and LED TVs being connected. Although this isn't a new technology being used to benefit the agriculture industry, I did find it as an interesting use of the sheep industry.

One issue I have with this advertisement is that I can't see the connection between sheep with LED lights strapped on them and LED Televisions. The article on this video said that Samsung marketing department had a hard time coming up with an idea to advertise the TVs because there is no way to compare these new TVs to old TVs on a regular TV or computer screen because of the way they are pixalated. The main reason they chose the idea is because of people like me who find a cool video on you tube, and then send it to 5 of their friend or perhaps talk about it on a blog. I cannot say that I am going to go out and spend a couple thousand dollars on a new TV because they could herd sheep in an effective way but I will say that I did go check out their website because of their video.
