Forums - Sony - A wii bit racist?

The new old ad for PSP don't think it had the effect SONY was hoping for. Or maybe it did? You never know.

(The wii part of the title was just a stupid pun)

Old as hell. Look at the date in the URL. (2006/07/12)



ya i know my mistake



Sony tried many marketing approaches that backfired with the PSP ...

They created commercials with racist Squirrels, paid artists to illegally put graffitti through out major cities, and had a marketing campaign in Europe which offended many people (White is comming). In my opinion the "White is Comming" campaign was probably the least offensive of the bunch ...



So you put 'Wii' in the title to tolk about PSP :s;






hmm, I thought this would be about the "UR MR GAY" thing in SMG.
