Well, yes, Sony obviously knows what they're doing.
EVERYTHING in advertising is intentional.
Jaline
(Jul 6 06, 13:41)true that, BUT sometimes the intentional bit sort of flies beyond achievement, ie society can change or is not ready for it or demographic reasons make it not communicate etc etc..

Bunch of pussies dodged any clarification of intent.

you mis-spelled fattered.

You're misunderstanding me. I'm saying that the controversy is part of their intention. It's a given really, they're provoking the response for effect.

But you know, apparently we're not as wlel developed on the racial front as you Europeans, who have all that stuff worked out just fine.

(Jul 6 06, 07:52)please, don't romanticize that too much. we have some serious racial problems here.
but we are not as important as the US, so you don't read much about it over "there"

""Think about it, they are placing racial tension at the service of selling game consoles. What an arrogant decision that is. Then, like cowards, they basically say that the controversy is a reflection of society and not part of their original intention. It's bullshit."
Thought 2:
This seems to have worked for Dave Chappelle, although he didnt make excuses and walked away ( a rich man).

All you white people who see nothing at least somewhat amiss in that ad are missing the big picture. No, it wouldn't be right if the black person was grabbing the white face either. The ad is just bad taste all around.

Like when Abercrombie puts out their catalog and everyone plays the fun game 'find the black guy' to get everyone up in arms?!?
And you see what that did for them?
And where did that go? No where. Everytime one comes out people bitch for like a week then it's old news. Sit on it for a while and it will dawn on you how minor this is.
