Sony Pulls Racial PSP ads

Postby ssj100matt » Tue Jul 11, 2006 2:19 pm

Heres an official Statement from Sony on the matter

"We... recognize that people have a wide variety of perceptions about such imagery and we wish to apologize to those who perceived the advert differently to that intended. In future, we will apply greater sensitivity in our selection of campaign imagery, and will take due account of the increasingly global reach of such local adverts, and their potential impact in other countries."


Idk i was going to call in on the voicemail and respond to this but this changes things a bit... Eitherway it probally wasent a smart idea to go this route to advertise it anyways... If i was doing it i would have done a Spy vs Spy type thing with the Black and White Spies from Mad Magazine... Short, simple, gets the point across and its nostalgic and animated (which is the craze now)... Anyways thoughts on this now?

btw got the info from qj.net[/quote]

Notice how it is the white people who are yelling "RACISM" around every corner? I think the most important thing is to know what the discrimnatee thinks about it. If black people don't think its racist, then what right do white peple have to say it is racist right?

Wow. That's... I don't know. I'm half-Indian and I put up with racism all the time at my school. (eh. Part of life) I didn't think these ads were racist. I mean, it is just an ad. Stop getting your underwear in a bunch. It's not supposed to mean anything. That's my take. I thought the ads looked pretty slick. And not just the ones with the two girls fighting.
