Storyline:
A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon's demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

A TV ad produced by an Israeli Cable TV station Hot showed four men posing as women who use Galaxy Tab to trigger a nuclear explosion. But it didn’t go well with Iran's officials and even considering a plan to cut off the country's economic transactions with South Korea's Samsung in reaction to the company's anti-Iran teaser, even if the commercial was meant for the Israeli market.

Arsalan Fat'hipour, Head of Majlis Energy Committee said "the double-urgency plan, aimed at imposing a complete ban on buying all Samsung products, would make the company regret making the insulting teaser." Fat'hipour also added "Samsung's apology to the Iranian nation, though necessary, would not be enough and that the company must be held accountable for producing the teaser."

Update: Samsung issued a statement to CNN saying "Samsung Electronics is aware of a recent news report in Iranian media regarding an advertisement aired by HOT cable network of Israel,” Samsung also added "This advertisement was produced by HOT cable network without Samsung’s knowledge or participation."

A TV ad by Action Electronics in Taiwan is using the late Steve Jobs, an Angel from heaven to promote a combined tablet PC and multi-language dictionary, which runs on Android. Actually, it really isn't Steve Jobs, but a Taiwanese comedian and impersonator Ah-Ken who dressed Steve's signature turtleneck sweater and blue jeans plus an angel wings and halo.

"Steve Jobs always promoted things that were good for people, Apple products, so his image can also promote other things that are good," said Chelsea Chen, a spokeswoman for Action Electronics. But the ad has drawn some sharp reactions on YouTube, with some branding it distasteful and disgusting. Others even calling for a boycott of the company products, even if the ad does not say 'Steve Jobs' name. Chen also said, "It's just an impersonator, not Jobs," and added, "We have no choice but to use Android, we can't use iOS."
