Remember when David Ortiz snapped that selfie with President Obama? And remember when Boston people were like, “wicked pissa” you guys? Well, turns out, the selfie was sponsored by Samsung.
I, for one, am shocked that an athlete of Ortiz’s high moral character would do such a thing—but I digress.
The White House is pissed off that Obama got used and abused like a $2 hooker and might ban White House selfies. Good job Ortiz, just when I got on my selfie game.
“Maybe this will be the end of all selfies,” White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer said about the incident Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “(Obama) obviously didn’t know anything about Samsung’s connection to this.”
“Someone who uses the President’s likeness to promote a product… that’s a problem with the White House,” Pfeiffer added. “We’ve had conversations with Samsung about this and have expressed our concerns.”
So just to review:
1) David Ortiz is basically a neanderthal
2) This kinda backfired for Samsung
3) Obama banned selfies
