So the NV is becoming a ... "footballer's wife"
(I couldn't resist!)

does Joe Cole actually know the difference between a camera and a football?
Maybe there is an underlying meaning we are missing, like, "How far can Joe Cole kick a Samsung?"
This could potentially become the longest running thread in Photoblog history!
Thank you Samsung for the humor!

The next logical step is to get David Bailey to advertise football boots.

Reminds me of when a BIG truck company in Japan was exploiting Mike Tyson for their "Tyson Tough Trucks", at least until he was convicted of a felony, or two, and denied entry to Japan. Then he mysteriously was dropped from all advertisements! Wish I could find some of those posters, they were EVERYWHERE!
Samsung may follow suit if Joe gets involved in anymore brawls where alcohol is involved!
Gotta latch on to those idols, hope they don't get into trouble, sales may suffer!
Signature models may boost sales, until.....

Oh my goodness! You people are being so horrible!!! of course Joe Cole knows the difference between a camera and a football! It's insulting to know that people think so low of footballers! So they may have got bad grades in school and gone on to play football. It doesn't mean that they are so stupid they can't tell apart one thing from another! We should learn to love each other despite our faults. We have size 0 models and they get slagged off but we shouldn't slag them off. It's how they chose to live their life. Let them live it.
