lmao... did Hammy just say that?

PSP white, eh? How convienent... it comes out just after the DS Lite is released. Gotta love Sony... they're committed followers.

EDIT: Oh, I just realized what you meant, Hammy. You we're joking around and saying that the PS2 that falls out the window hits a black person, right? Oh! At first I thought you meant that you chucked your PS2 out the window and then YOU hit a black person. Haha, I got confused...

What the hell is a PSP white? A white PSP? Whats so good about it? Is Sony just making a new kind to fight with the DS lite? They even ryhme..

Also I define that add as a white female succubus is about to steal a poor black mans soul away. I mean look, she is squeezing his face! And she is sneering at him. And her other hand thats not on his face is prepared to rip out his heart.

All I see are two people. ;) What's wrong with that?

But if you've got to be subjective about it yeah it's a little iffy. But they weren't trying to be racist, it's more a metaphor between the two colors of the handheld.

A white PSP is probably ugly looking. But you wouldn't be able to see fingerprints as well on it compared to the black ones.

Lol Sinow. Almost like that scene in The Temple of Doom. :P

I just realized, this Ad came from Europe. That explains everything. lol!

For the record, there are two girls in that ad... a white girl and a black girl. There's no guy in that picture. So, yea. Not that anybody cares.

I think the new white PSP is coming out everywhere, but this ad is currently just in the Netherlands. o_o

Well good tails, now its a racist, LESBIAN add, which makes it even worse. Plus now it shows how white women are more attractive then black ones. Freaking tails and his making things worse.

the fact that sony would exploit this ad to a obvious large amount of people by mounting it on a billboard to show that theyre racist of course would be stupid because this could affect sales, reputation and etc. so therefore, it wasnt intentionally made to impose white power or anything.

i respect the naacp and what theyve done as an organization to stop racism, but this is plain rediculous. course, it isnt that big of a deal i guess, just thought id add some more input...


**EDIT**

WAIT A SEC, WTF? i so did not notice that black guy there, lmfao. im sure they werent intentional on starting a commotion like this but now ireally cant blame the naacp for taking action against this. hahahahaha sorry my bad for this post =o

Haha, yes... it is blantantly offensive. And I repeat, there is no black guy in those ads... it is apparently a black female.

So that officially makes this ad horrible. It's racist, it's lesbian, and it's of a PSP. They're asking for trouble. :mellow:
