Oh, man...

God I miss working in marketing some times. Guys, Sony just showed the worst ad for its Playstation business. Isn't Sony crazy? What a crappy ad, is Sony insane or what? This will do no good for Playstation. And what's with the Playboy tag? Play as in play games (on Playstation)? Weird.

Distribute across several message boards, spark debate, article is written on several gaming websites about the ad (with ad keywords for some viewers), more discussion on more message boards. Sony. Playstation. What are they thinking?

@Borys: The guy's penis is actually a thumb...

@duckman2000: It'll be viral, but you have positive and negative impressions in advertising. If the impression is sufficiently negative, it can backfire (it's happened before with myriad products, and has happened with the PS3 itself not too long ago with "This is Living").

HOW LONG DID YOU KEEP STARING YOU PERV

Read the article. To quote Gizmodo:

This is the most horrifying ad ever. It's for the Playstation 3. You don't want to see it, trust me. Look, I won't even tease it, I'll tell you what it is so you don't have to look at it. It's a guy who has a thumb for a penis. There, I told you what it is and now you won't have to look for yourself. But you will, won't you? And you'll regret it. But I warned you. Never say I didn't warn you. And yes, this is NSFW if you haven't figured that out already.

Howsabout YOU spend more time reading and less time gawking at the photo!

Keep trying, Sony. These shock ads really seem to be helping your sales.

So you and your mom are pretty open to this kind of stuff. How about I come by and show your mom my ad?

 

[Bloodwake]

Yeah, seriously, most horrible ad of all time.

This almost made me into an xbot.

[Jabberwocky]

is that a really big clit or a really small penis?

Damn, I usually don't mind clicking NSFW link at work as I'm the second in command in the IT department. But that shook me a little and I had to delete all my history, cookies, blah blah. I formatted my HD and started over.

Getting fired for some titties is one thing, but I'll be damned if I get fired for that kind of shit.!!!

It must suck when you can't use the "I'm a grower not a shower" line
