If you hadn’t heard, Michael Bay embarrassed himself on stage at CES during the Samsung presentation. He tried giving his talk in spite of of a broken teleprompter but it wasn’t happening so he simply walked off stage. Bay took to his site and apologized explaining that he was just too excited.
Wow! I just embarrassed myself at CES – I was about to speak for Samsung for this awesome Curved 105-inch UHD TV. I rarely lend my name to any products, but this one is just stellar. I got so excited to talk, that I skipped over the Exec VP’s intro line and then the teleprompter got lost. Then the prompter went up and down – then I walked off. I guess live shows aren’t my thing.
But I’m doing a special curved screen experience with Samsung and Transformers 4 footage that will be traveling around the world.
The worst thing about this was he didn’t even punctuate his exit with anything. Not an explosion or even a dismissive fart. At least give the people something.
The same thing happens to Obama. No teleprompter, no speech.
