Sony has put together a series of billboards for the PSP featuring a white woman dressed in white fighting it out with a black woman dressed in black. I'm not sure how that's supposed to sell PSP's, but at least they're offending a whole bunch of people. And really, isn't offending an entire group of people the same as selling a portable gaming console? It sure is. Shots of various ads |

I saw at least the first one the other day. I'm not really offended by them but I suppose I can see how people would be. I guess I'm more indifferent to them than anything. Surprised they weren't flagged by someone in Sony's marketing department before they were ever produced, though.

lol, I saw that first one somewhere and it cracked me up. I love how marketing makes such a huge deal out of things being black or white. First white is in style, then black is in style, then white is back in style. Now nobody knows what's in style, and whatever you have, the other one must be in style, so you need to get that one, too.

You would have liked the 60's. Or was it the 70's?

Ew, no, the room I'm sitting in right now is decorated in the style of the 70s. Orange metal blinds and some sort of orange/brown carpeting. Oh, and fake wood paneled walls
