Denise Wade is the volunteer flying fox coordinator at Bat Conservation and Rescue QLD. She takes in injured or orphaned flying foxes that need care until they can be released. Wade posts videos under the YouTube name Batzilla the Bat. Here she feeds a banana to Miss Alicia, a young rescue bat named for the woman who found her on the road.
She loves that banana! Since Miss Alicia was not injured by her traffic experience, she was examined, fed, and given a chance to rest before being released. Oh yeah, and recorded on video for our continued entertainment. -via Metafilter

You have got to be kidding... You do more damage to insects every time you get in a car (what do you think those smudges on the windshield are?)
Worst comparison.
One thing if you do it unintentionally and another matter is if you harm animals only to entertain others. And that is what Samsung is doing.
Think about it.
PS: Can you give me a hint how I could avoid killing insects with a car, swerving???
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_wing gives the tiniest snippet of:
"In the Diptera (true flies), the posterior pair of wings are reduced to halteres, which help the fly to sense its orientation and movement, as well as to improve balance by acting similar to gyroscopes."
Basically insects have 2 sets of wings but some flies have evolved to lose a set in place for some gyroscopes that allow it super reaction speed and manoeuverability.
At least, I hope I'm right in thinking this.
