and where is NOT OK to be a comedian while you sell your products?
if its smart and funny i will laugh at every ad i see of companies that i like or dislike.
they don't need no free pass or what ever, everyone has the freedom to make fun of other and don't need to be morally in a higher ground to do that. i don't think any comedian is better than me to have "permission" to make fun of me, he does just because he can, as i can also make fun of him or anyone for that matter.
every company has glass roof, every company can be a "victim" of a joke, so why just stay still hoping no one notice you? that is the opposite of what ads are for...

bah, it's not really important. There's a fine line between poking fun as a comedian and bashing to make yourself look better, that's what I meant in my criticism of your comedian/PR analogy.

But honestly it's not something that really bothers me tremendously at this point. Once Sony had its first serving of humble pie, I have less worry this will get out of hand.

the line is indeed fine, but do a joke in a ad that doesn't make you look better than the competition is a lousy joke and ad if you ask me... all the ads about dishwasher detergents say they are better; "better" comes with a natural association with "than" and they mean the others, that is bashing to make you look better, no direct mention but everybody knows who are the competitors, here the "bashing" uses images, that are very well recognized by us (that just proves we are very cultured... LOL), to identify the others, but did we need them to identify the others?

i am always in favor of a good laugh.
