SCEA Funds Criminal Activity

An Associated Press story came out late last year about Sony paying vandals to paint graffiti on random buildings in downtown areas in the US to promote the PSP. Cities affected include Philadelphia (which is a shit whole anyway, no harm done), New York, and San Francisco. Unfortunately, the assholes knowingly broke the law because the penalties were so ridiculously low.

"My fines aren't going to scare Sony," Ramos said. "What will worry them is what the parents and their users will think. This really flies in the face of everything we've been trying to do with our anti-blight initiative."

Good, it was a shitty campaign for a currently shitty system.

the squirrel ads are really bad.

Sony needs to stop thinking that because it owns the console market, it also owns the portable market and can do whatever they want, because it's not working for them.

Damn it. I searched for DMC3:SE, but I just assumed no one would post this one. :(

They were so low budget, I seriously thought they were Canadian.

I was waiting for an Ed the Sock cameo, but at least we know the PSP is like carpet, which is apparently good.
