Ellen DeGeneres hosted the 2014 Oscars, and used the stage as a platform for promoting Samsung by waving a Galaxy Note 3 around liberally.

The idiotic public lapped up this act, retweeting the selfie she took with some of the actors sitting in the audience. Because most people are sheep who cannot recognise shilling of the worst kind.

Why this selfie is being lauded as the best thing that has ever happened in the world ever is beyond me. It was a selfie surely only taken in order to get the Samsung phone on camera.

We know this because several websites have called DeGeneres out for being paid by Samsung. Behind the scenes and away from the cameras she switched to using her iPhone instead.
