Sony's self destruction continues.
I'm speechless.
Who on earth thought Miss Aryan holding (advance apologies) Sambo by the face, with her hostile body language and look of contempt, was a good marketing campaign?
-edit- Checked the yourpsp.com link in the lower right corner of the billboard, it's a Euro site. This isn't the work of Sony US, which is some consolation I guess.

This just can't be an American ad.
Has to be in the UK.
Right?
I hear it's Dutch
Curious why the text is English...
Well that explains everything.
................!
Couldn't be the UK. Riots. There'd be riots.Quote:

What would your pussy ass reactions be if the words said "Female is coming" instead?
great marketing, everyone are talking about the controlversial new sony psp ad. Stuff works, what can I say.
We already know you're a racist POS, though.Quote:

If the grab was going the other way, feminist groups' vaginas would be exploding. So I'll pose the question again: Why is this a big deal when wording it "Female is coming" would be completely ignored? Hypersensitivity.
Actually, your post is even better proof. I am a racist for hating on everyone, because hating on white people is fair game for everyone, but hating on other races is only acceptable if you're not white. What a lovely world we live in.
I can't wait till they make a yellow PSP, then they will have an Asian Kung-Fu'ing everyone's ass.
omg, he's gonna boil that white kid in the village cauldron and eat him!Quote:

Stop putting words in everyone's mouth to make a point. It's childish and just plain stupid.
Normally I would agree that controversy makes good marketing...but only within limit.Quote:

Whoever told Sony there's no such thing as bad publicity needs to be reminded of Acclaim (like Jeremy said) or Gary Condit.
This is the best ad evar!

So when is the White PSP coming out?
It's a European ad. Those bastards won't give us one. :cry:
Heh, that is the first thing I thought to myself, the white PSP is the hotness. I don't think the ad is racist, it is just trying to be artsy.Quote:

hang on, yoshi is a racist for saying over the top stuff on a message board? you are kidding me right? You of all people, who is an absolute dick about just about any topic if someone disagrees with you have now decided to take something said here as a persons true and unexaggerated opinion. you have to be fucking kidding me.Quote:

Sony's racist, stupid, and doesn't know how to spend its money. How is it that Yoshi's Jed Clampett morphix-related mention hasn't been brought up?
Reparations are a bitch.Quote:

The ads aren't meant to be full blown racist. They're meant to imply racism while still having plausible deniability, giving Sony an easy out while still allowing for plenty of controversy, which has been a cornerstone of their PSP marketing campaign up to this point.
It doesn't have racist intent, nor is it an unfortunate coincidence. It's meant to appear as though it could be racist, and the fact that every gaming board I've been to has a thread discussing it means that things are working out perfectly.
:lol: That didn't even cross my mind.Quote:
