and by different I mean "WHAT THE FUCK???"

Not as bad as the PSP2 one since I can actually identify the product at the end but still, who the fuck is approving these things?
Whoa! What the fuck does that have to do with gaming?

Well, the thumbs are moving as if using a controller, alluding to how PlayStation Phone grafts "real" games onto Android. That's my take on it anyway.

It's still really messed up, but I don't know that it can top the baby...

Aliasalpha: Quite true but I'd have posted an enthusiastic appreciation of a funny and clever ad that explained the product
Why do that when you can sell your product with racist squirrels, questionable fights between white/black women, and trailers for a horror movie?

PhoenixWright: I don't know... the amount of talk it's generating on this site would lead one to believe they're doing a fantastic job, and I'm sure we're not the only ones talking about this material.
Spot on. That's the point of advertising after all. Even adverts we might think of as being especially bad are doing their job simply because we're thinking of them at all. The only bad advert is a forgettable one.

I am a big proponent of advertising reform. I think all ads should have to have a clear connection to their product, and those drug ads, or any ads with disclaimers said in hushed fast voices at the end, in small print, should be reversed. The fine print should have to be read slowly and loudly, printed in big print, and the ad part should be at the end,spoken quickly and quietly.

Oh, and I wish women in :freshness" based ads would stop wearing white/light blue khaki's already.
