Sony defends white PSP ad

[mordantmonkey]

this is no where near as racist as the "squirrel" and "dust ball" tv ads. and even those i don't consider "racist" perse, just dumb.

 

[shortylickens]

I dont give a damn what anybody says.

That makes me HOT!

I don't think you guys understand advertising.

Its all about triggers. This is an ad used in holland, milky creamy whiteAss holland. Wtf do you think the triggers are here other than race.

 

[halik]

Meh,
the first thing I thought about that add was some sort of parallel on slavery. I'm not really sure what it's supposed to mean otherwise...

 

[Arkitech]

I'm usually the last person to jump on the racial bandwagon but I can see how this ad will piss off a lot of people. What if it was a man gripping a woman by the face with the slogan "the males are coming"? That could defintely be misconstrued as misogynist marketing.

 

[Kyanzes]

Yeah, it's clear and present racism. Also sue the creators of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and force them to release "Coal Black and the Seven Giants" as a compensation of the pain and suffering it has inflicted on the world.

 

[Pastore]

At first I was like, "How the hell is this racist?" Then I looked again and saw the black person the white person was grabbing. Pretty humorous.

wtf isnt there a black ipod, or yellow. im sueing apple. whos with me?

 

[Injury]

I wish I had enough free time in my life to complain about things like that.


Of course, if I gave up ATOT I'd probably have enough free time for ANYTHING.

Coal Black is on the banned list of WB cartoons that have been locked away, FYI.

Nano comes in Black/White.
Mini comes in multiple colors.
The special premium Edition (U2 version) is Black and Red. Normal iPod also comes in Black/White.

Well, you probably dont know about this, but:

We've had a lot of problems with newbs who pick the cool black guy avatar.
They usually make their first (and last) post a spam.
Normally they ask us to check out their cool site that gives away free iPods or some other such scam.

Its actually kind of stereotype around here.

The pic looks like the begining of a hot Hustler photo story.

 

[NatePo717]

:roll:

So if it was a black woman holding a white womans face would there be a racist outcry? Some people just need to STFU and stop looking too much into things.

[BooGiMaN]

i dunno what ad agency sony hired but a lot of the psp commercials i have scene are just freaking annoying...

 

[BudAshes2]

My question is how a billboard in a predominately white country that has a beautiful stereptypical looking white woman grabbing a more homely black woman by the face and says "white is coming" isnt racist. I think political correctness is a pile of sh!t, but this seems pretty racist.

Why is all my printer paper white?


I think its rediculous really. Its an advertisement. If you look deeply(obsession) enough I bet you can find racism in anything. And by you I mean people who are thinking that this ad is purposefully racist.
