Well think of it this way: the less time they devote to thinking up better ads, the more time they can devote to better games! Right?

Yeah I'm going with that.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

wtf sony.

 

[Chinner]

most gaffers have not touched 1 boob let alone 4. i expect sales to go through the roof.

 

[vdlow]

WTF Sony?

 

[mrklaw]

No point in targeting ads at me Sony, I already have a Vita!


It may surprise you to learn that some women enjoy fondling breasts too.

and lets not take things too literally. The ad talks about doubling of sensations. Women are smart, they'll think 'ooh, four balls'. and shortly after 'eww, four balls'

 

[Oni Jazar]

Jesus guys its just a commercial in France. They love the freaky over there. Such hysteria.

 

[GhostTrick]

Non.

 

[stilgar]

Non plus.

 

[sajj316]

The ad did elicit a response .. good and bad.

 

[Kouriozan]

Jesus guys its just a commercial in France. They love the freaky over there. Such hysteria.

Nope, it's still weird.

 

[Canis lupus]

Sony ads are always controversial.

 

[Messofanego]

Which episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks is that?!

nvm found it haha

 

[Noogy]

This thread has already made November great. Thank you, gaf.

Dem sexism apologists...

French ads are skeezy. Where do people think all those "Too Hot for TV!" ads come from?

 

[SmokyDave]

Now I fancy some Orangina.

 

[DonMigs85]

Those French furry Orangina ads were pretty insane
EDIT: Truly a great mind Smoky has.

 

[moozoom]

Oh, boy. Now I get why I'm not interested in buying a vita... too much boobs. I loved the Wii at first sight, tough.

I wonder why Nintendo didn't use this kind of advertising : multiplayer, vibrating remotes & touchscreens would've made fantastic commercials in the same vein.

 

[dokish]

This has got to be the dumbest line of thought when it comes to advertising. The idea that any good ad is one that makes you aware of the product is good is just false. An ad does nothing if it is so obnoxious or offensive that it damages (or at least doesn't drive) sales. Stop posting this stupid argument please.

Yes, I have to agree. I don't know where people got the idea that the GOAL of ad is "drive people to talk about it".

No, ad is to drive people to BUY your product. Come on people, read some 'consumer behavior' books. Know your world.

 

[Social]

It's a cool ad. I like

 

[Sadist]

I rate this ad with four out of five Doritos Popes

 

[TUSR]

the way i see it is: if you cross two sets of bra straps you will never figure it out.

Vita.

 

[Thrillhouse]

This ad would get soooooooo sued in sweden

 

[maverick40]

and

This is why I come to GAF.

Incredible stuff!

 

[LeleSocho]

All hail Doritos Pope

 

[KAP151]

Doritos Pope is not amused.

Dont ever, ever change GAF.

Brilliant.

 

[MikeE21286]

HOLY SHIT.

Someone in the background is carrying a keyboard.

First thing I saw lol

 

[BGBW]

This advert is a load of tits.

 

[Satchel]

Face palm just doesn't cut it here.

 

[Corto]

I wish I had four hands.

 

[Diman]

Face palm just doesn't cut it here.

Even a double face palm doesn't cut it.

 

[Canis lupus]

That Doritos pope pic lol!

 

[Maedhros]

I can't believe they've reverted back to this type of shit. I mean.....

These captions ruin the gif... =/

 

[GhostTrick]

Those French furry Orangina ads were pretty insane
EDIT: Truly a great mind Smoky has.

Wait... so those ugly furry Orangina ads were French exclusives ?

 

[Corky]

So which platform is the equivalent of having a girl with 2 breasts because I'll settle with that.

 

[nintendoman58]

I don't know why, but this came to my head the minute I saw this.

 

[2+2=5]

Better than total recall!

 

[toastyToast]

I wouldn't know what to do with 4 breasts

Unless I was Goro

 

[Randy Monk]

They fucked up this ad big time. 4 breasts is way more fun when they're on the same side.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Stealth Senran Kagura marketing? That's one way to do it.

 

[remnant]

Geez calm down.

Tell me what a good ad is if it doesnt get people talking? I dont find it bad either, if it targets an audience and if it makes sense to them, then it works. If it doesn't work for you, then move on. How would it harm sales?

This is clearly advertised at males, I'm sure most of the dudebros woulde appreciate the humour. Obnoxious? Offensive? Sure, maybe, but what does that have to do with anything?

I dont think it will drive sales, nor do I expect it to, but if I'm some casual bypasser, flipping through a magazine and I see that, I'd chuckle and that analogy would stick in my head for a minute or two. It's a simple magazine ad touting back-touch by using something sexual. What's the big deal?

If that's the case just screen grab a shot from a porno, crop a PSP in the corner and call it a day.

" it will get attention" is the bare minimum an ad should do. Not really acknowledging anything.

 

[Ponn]

What the hell?! They stole my booby grip add-on idea for the back touchpad. I was trying to sell that shit to Compile Heart for a Collectors Edition pack in.

 

[Acquiescence]

How long until a porn star gets this kind of cosemtic surgery and becomes an industry legend by default.

 

[strafer]

I wish I had four hands.

 

[Shtof]

This might seem bizarre, but remember, the Sony people working for Sony France are probably french, y'know. They probably think they know what they're doing.

 

[BigDaddyFatSack]

Make that 8 and I'll buy one.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

I own a Vita.

It's nothing like that at all. I claim false advertising.

So it's not just me, then...

 

[Flame Lord]

They never learn.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Which episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks is that?!

nvm found it haha

That episode is amazing.

"My sisters are in the audience!"
"Fine, I'll have them then!"

 

[Exterminieren]

This might seem bizarre, but remember, the Sony people working for Sony France are probably french, y'know. They probably think they know what they're doing.

The people working on Sony's advertising in American were probably also American.

Doesn't make the advertising any less cack-handed.
