Hey stinkles I now have 400% more respect for you. I know you are here to clown around, make Sony look bad, and hype the 360 with Halo 3 but at least you aren't this bad.

I would be ashamed to be involved with this campaign. Absolutely ashamed. I felt embarassed just looking at the website.

I don't care about doing viral stuff ( three speech, ilovebees, et...) But this is just executed so poorly. I'm not too fond of all the Sony Pile-ons lately, but this one is well deserved :lol

I think the mods should allow one of us to have a second user name on GAF, and we should post here for a few months to rack up some posting history, then sign that name up as a viral marketeer with one of these businesses. And that user will have to play along with whatever they ask him to do (and do a good job at it), but everyone on GAF will know it's BS, and have a good laugh.

Sony viral marketing. Wow.

I do admit it's pretty hilariously bad.

But it seems like it's this bad on purpose... ! ? I dunno, it's perplexing just looking at the thing.

URNotE. <-- make it red in your MIND

So Sony "hired" people to pretend to like the PSP, just like they did with a movie critic for giving "Garfield:lol " two thumbs up?

On 3 August 2005, Sony made an out-of-court settlement[2] and agreed to refund $5 to anyone who saw Hollow Man, The Animal, The Patriot, A Knight's Tale or Vertical Limit in American theatres between 3 August 2000 and 31 October 2001.


WTF? Can i still get my money back? I still have those tickets.

I want my money too after seeing Hollow Man. Who would of thought Sony even made horrible T.V. shows back then.

There's probably a lot of people who genuinely feel proud of this work, and are right now, this very minute, being emotionally devastated at being uncovered and riduculed.

Which makes this whole thing even funnier.

I think it's time to offically say Sony is the worst now at marketing.

Nintendo and Microsoft hands down have done a better job advertising this year. Sony's marketing attempts, especailly for the PSP are just .... dismal and borderline offensive. It's like that girl at school who used to run her junior high finding out she suddenly isn't shit in high school :lol They're just trying way too hard to be cool.

Not surprising coming from the same brain trust that thought fake "urban" graffiti for the PSP on buildings and subway cars was also a good idea.

Insane For Sony
Major Ynos anyone? :lol

Either that, or a legit campaign where it's supposed to be immediately clear that it's not genuine. That "This is not an ad" ad makes it pretty transparent without even bothering to check DNS.
