Even though it is a horrible ad campaign; people ARE looking and talking about it.
So not entirely tragic.///////////
What I am amazed at is that a entire team; ENTIRE team_AND The Client:
Approved.Like who did the convincing to the client that this was a "risk taking campaign" that was going to get positive feedback.
Fact: 80% of people that play Playstation are male. WHY would a male want to see a half naked male expose themselves to sell a digital product.
A girl with button nipples would have been much more appropriate;
even when naked girls selling products is over rated.

"A girl with button nipples would have been much more appropriate;

- I wouldn't say it is "over-rated". That's too general for ads that use excessive sexuality, especially when it comes to women.Jaline
- so then, you *are* offended by it regardless?madirish
- women.
What I meant is that I'm almost like, "good" because of the history of advertisement.Jaline - madirish, I think I am I'm surprised, but I'm not offended.Jaline

I didn't even acknowledge "Playboy for life". Placed terribly on page.

- Although this one had the black person in power too in a variation of the ad. But it's still seen as being awkward.Jaline
- Someone over at Sony has no concept of budgeting/investing********
- I think it would be more appropriate that the white chick was straddling him in ecstasy.spendogg
- that's a womanJaline

I really hope that ad ends up in Redbook or Family Circle.

i know this is a broad generalization, but of the i know who would qualify as a "Playboy for Life" and loves gaming enough to have his genitalial mutate to a thumb, none of them are that fit

I don't much want to buy a Playstation any more than I did before. However, I did just add "gherkins" to my shopping list.

WTF?
- kona0
they could have at least given him a bigger thumb
- locustsloth0
So how many homophobes are gonna be too freaked to realize that it's a thumb and think that Sony just tried to make them gay?

I didn't pause long enough on the schl... thumb to realize that's what it was. Piss poor ad.
