Check out this ballsy ad Sony ran, in major magazines in Italy, no less. Somebody had to have lost their job for this.
The ad, which celebrates the tenth anniversary of the PlayStation console, depicts a grinning male gamer wearing a crown of thorns made out of the traditional PlayStation buttons (triangle, square, circle and X). The bottom of the ad reads "Dieci anni di passione," which in English means "Ten years of passion."
-
Yeah, I remember reading about this in the paper last week and Sony asked for fogiveness and pulled the ad. The Italians were furious with the ad ( as you can well imagine ). I'm sure you're right, someone ( or some people ) are definately toast in Sony's marketing group...
-
I'll planned, but funny.
-
Feh, more like somebody got a promotion.
Ads like these are meant to create controversy and it obviously worked. They planned to have it "pulled" before it was ever printed.
You don't really think the target market demographic for Playstation products was phased in the slightest by this, do you? :)

I don't really understand what the problem here is. Religion is a part of our culture, why does it always have to be so serious?
If god didn't have a sense of humour he wouldn't give fat chicks little boobs.

Bones, you're italian?

No, but sometimes I eat pizza if it helps with your fantasy.

I'm pretty sure I'm in that demographic and I'm phased not even a little bit. I think it's pretty funny, but not as funny as a fat chick with little boobs.

Eh, 37" isn't that much of a gut.

For those who are still confused by the Italians: They are hard-core catholics. That's what the deal is.
On to other news, how about helping Jesus find a date?

In most cases Jesus will be available and eager to speak to you about spirituality if desired. If you are not spiritual, Jesus will share a beer and pleasant existential banter.
