Where the he*k is the ad?

Would sony be so stupid as to publish such a one audience ad? I mean, if so this is why Nintendo will win and Playstation will lose. Targeting the small minority of sexist male gamers..

Yes I am female, yes I am a nintendo fangirl. But hey I own a PS2!! Wouldn’t a guy prefer a girl who plays games with him? GG bad advertising

Also, I would be willing to bet that it is not real ad, a big Corporation such as SONY would never let an ad go that said (When your girlfriend bore you shitless!) It just wouldn’t float with the executives and it would have a very negative impact on the female market segment. And by the way SONY could use all the customers they can get right now, what with all the “Console wars and all”!

I don’t see what this “AD” has to do with anything! OK so your’e girlfriend bores you, then break up with her. I’m quite sure there are plenty of times when girls are bored shitless by their boyfriends too! Are they insinuating that the any game system is a replacement for a real girl!? If so they should go play their video games and at night, hug and kiss their pillows and pretend their real girls!!!!! NERDS. It’s a stupid AD PROMO if it’s real. They should re think it, it could be much better.

Remember everyone, don’t throw any mud at Sony, they didn’t create the ad.

“Weâ€™re reliably informed, however, itâ€™s NOT a bona fide PlayStation advert.”

What I think Sony or the marketing firm should have done to try and not anger the feminists and so on too much was make a similar advert but directed at girls, for example a guy talking about football or something.
If this was printed in a magazine then the second advert could be put on the next page or later in the magazine and then it wouldn’t have made it so inclusive like post 23 says.
Might have at least helped Sony save themselves a bit.

It seems to me like Sony made this advertisement just to get media attention, then denied that they made it just to save their ass.

“Weâ€™re reliably informed, however, itâ€™s not a bona fide PlayStation advert.”
Yes, because you’re not payed by Sony, but you get to talk to them, right? Doesn’t anybody find it weird that threespeech is owned by an ad firm called Ramp Industry, the same ad firm that Sony hired for their alliwantforchristmasisapsp stealth marketing.

I like Sony products, especially the PS2, but I can’t stand being lied to all the time. Come on Sony, you don’t need all this stealth marketing and astroturfing, let your awesome products speak for themselves.

I can see the new advert slogan now “Buy PS3 - because you’re incapable of keeping a girlfriend”

Creatiff - you took off the subtlty. So now you’ve just got a ripped off design, yeah well done! Would have considered it otherwise. Oh well another lost opportunity.
