What the HELL is wrong with Sony? (New PSP ad)

[QUOTE="donalbane"]1st they have that graffitti campaign that pissed of people who lived in the buildings they defaced. Then the racist ad in Europe with the white woman squeezing a black woman's face. Now they are using homoerotisizm to promote a product that's marketed at children.  Wow, could Sony's PR department be ANY worse? Magical_Guy

no, your making a big deal about nothing.

AND it WAS a white lady squeezing a black lady's face.  I'm too lazy to photobucket it, but I'm certain that's what the ad looked like.  Just google 'racist' and 'PSP ad' and it should pop right up.

lol, that's pretty funny.

What's with all the hate anyway? Does nobody have a sense of humour anymore?_AsasN_

I guess not, everything in America has to be politicaly correct now a days and its pissing me off.

[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"]it would have at least been funny. if the kid hadn't actually peed on himself. that made it go from :lol: to :|XxR0gu3Go0sexX

I thought it was funny. But who goes to a toilet to piss with a PSP in hand?waynehead895

....
THAT WAS HORRIBLE!

I mean, the basic idea is good, but the execution was ****ING TERRIBLE! And then he peed himself?!

*sigh* Sony, you suck.Hoffgod

Plz explain to me how the execution was terrible? Seriously it was fin funny, your just hating on it because its a Sony commerical thats all.

There were so many things wrong with that:

 1. Why would that kid just take a piss NEXT TO THE ONLY OTHER GUY IN THE BATHROOM?  Like normal people, who would have gone next to the wall, or at least 4 urinals away.

2.  Why was the kid playing a PSP in a bathroom?  And at a urinal?  Dont people go to the bathroom in bathrooms, not play games?

3.  Why was that guy checking out what the kid was doing down there?  That's a little unconfident and wrong.

4.  It's a PSP ad.  So that is just wrong in itself.  Why dont they have the PS3 crew just take over the PSP marketing?...

[QUOTE="playwithfire17"]I really don't know why anyone is surprised, Sony Playstation commercials have sucked since the birth of the PS franchise, with one notable exception, the Crash Bandicoot commercials where he goes to Nintendo HQ all the time.Jandurin

Really? Maybe in the US, but in the UK, they were weired and pretentious, no one knew what they were about, to this day I don't know what they have to do with the PS2.

Some were normal, most were nonsense.

[QUOTE="hazbazz"]well there was a DS advert which was pretty much exactly the same as that (in the UK) a guy gets on a bus, sits down next to someone, they look down and say "can I touch it?". They start stroking what looks like his crotch, then it shows them touching a DS, playing Metroid. So Sony isnt the first to do this jokeelementz28

haha.everyone  got to admit its funny people need to stop hating just because its sony..

OK Sony has lost their minds completely.

First off, forget it's for the PSP. If this was a skit on SNL I wouldn't be laughing much.

And the whole skit is just dumb really. He goes to the urinal and stands there playing hahahaha so funny.
This is as dumb as that crackdown commercial, forgive  me, way more dumb.

What's wrong with Sony? 

[QUOTE="_AsasN_"]lol, that's pretty funny.

I guess not, everything in America has to be politicaly correct now a days and its pissing me off.

It's not about that, it's just not a good ad. If you're trying to compete with the DS I don't see how this is a good ad. First off it's not really that funny, I get it but it wasn't done well. And also I don't see how this is something people will wanna tell other people about in terms of passing around a joke they saw.

"And then the old guy was looking at the guys di*k and..."

Comedy is fine and a smart route but this was badly done.

That PSP ad with the white and black woman was dumb for this reason. Nothing to do with race but if you saw that ad from afar I think most people would think it's for fashion or maybe perfume. Mostly something for women in the very least. 

To me it says Sony doesn't get their target demographic because who the hell is that ad appealing to? 

"Can I play with it?" Long pause. "When your done."
Pure comic gold.
Quick question. Why they heck would you stand in a stall playing a PSP and not urinate? I guess he must have lost his way and thought he was in line for beer or something.nobeaner

Obviously the kid is having to much fun with the PSP to unzip his pants. Some people just miss the point.

lol  yeah that kid is a so called teen im 20years old he looks older then me

Lol i like it,  and it must be working, it got us talking about itGsSanAndreas

It's a person choking a person. People only see racism if it's against a minority. No one cares if it's a white person getting beat, but if it's a person of a different color it's omg racism.

watch the video and tell me the first thing you notice (music video btw)

no commercial makes me want to go out and buy there product.

TC you are kidding right?There was no way that any of that advert alluded to pedophilia. Homosexuality and incontinence YES, pedophilia NO.

I thought it was funny until the dude pissed himself. It spoils the joke. The punchline was already there. Having the guy pee his paints was just uneccessary.

Don't people know how to be funny without going overboard?

I wasn't shocked, just disappointed that they had to go there.
