SONY really knows how to excite the children who buy their toys. Remind me never to vacation in the Netherlands. Not that it was on my list. I'm all about sun and sand. Isn't it awfully cold in the Netherlands? Or maybe that's just the feeling I get when I read about the place....

Allegedly, the advertisement wasn't meant for American eyes and some other excuses I can't remember. I remember getting many headaches when that campaign came out.
That image is powerful, though, for all the wrong reasons.

yeah...i can guess why it wasn't "meant" for american eyes. SONY wants to not lose any dollars. They will tailor their hate for the dollar on tha plate.

I heard about that ad, but last year and I thought it was shown here in the US. But I did think it was taken care of last year, but I guess not. But here is an old post with more information I found doing a google search to see if was put here in the US. I was wrong.
Sony defense of the controversial ads:

there are more than a few different ways i can think off the top of my head to advertise for their new "ceramic white" psp that are more tasteful.

How do corporations get away with such blatant racism? Maybe they thought the folks in Amersterdam were too stoned to figure out what was going on? Tho, I still kinda wanna vacation there. I mean if American racism hasn't caused me to move away yet...Wait a minute, remind me why I'm still here?
