VIDEO: Samsung's "El Plato Supreme"
"We could get sued!"
"By who?"
"Everybody... nobody... who knows?"
Samsung's recent Super Bowl ad hilariously satirizes the current over-zealous nature of IP enforcement.

Does a sixty-second spot about IP during the the most highly televised sporting event in the US count as entering the national discourse?
