The "racist" mentality is a knee jerk reaction that many Americans will have. This is probably why these billboards were posted over in Europe.

Oh i am so not getting into this bullshit again.

My Thoughts have been well documented.

One week of this crap was enough. Getting into it over Loco Roco (which is also not racist and just a knee jerk reaction by people with too much time on their hands) isn't going to happen.

Sony ended up pulling all of those billboards btw because of the uproar. I had the link and was going to post about it until I found that the original thread about it was locked for some reason.

Yeah that was my fault. :embarrassed: I got a little over empassioned in my speech and my use of words to describe ignorant moron.

Another round of discussion about the PSP lesbian, S+M, perfume ads.

oh boy.

Fine, Sony is racist. THEN DON'T BUY THEIR MERCHANDISE! Anyone else that wants to get upset because a "bad guy" in a game is colored black (because I don't hear anyone yelling about an enemy colored white or looking Asian or like Hitler!) and resembles 1 of a million past time toys or pictures then fine. I'd hate to be you and have to look myself in the mirror every day.

If there's anything I hate more than people standing up about violence in video games and overlooking movies and TV are those that try to play the race card on freaking everything.

Read the second Panel and laugh.

come on theres nothing racist about that picture , that chick and dude want to really do each other.

[Bronty-2]

I don't find them to be racist pics either. Although why sony would even try to use skin color as part of their ad is beyond me. Why go there?

I was ironic. If some say that the pic where the white chick holds the black chick's face is racism, then the picture i posted is racism too.

Arg this has been established thousands of times before. They are not contrasting Skin colour, they're contrasting everything.

Hair Colour, Clothing, Skin, everything is as diferent as night and day. That's the whole point of the advert.

Point out skin colour is not being racist. Pointing it out and then hating them for it is.

Of course this shouldn't be a big deal in a rational world. They still should have seen it coming though.

Much of the world is rational. Specifically where the ad was. It was pulled because of American complaints. American complaints, about a fucking Dutch ad.

I know what you're saying but I still think it was a poor decision and a poor ad. Its too artsy - what exactly does a white woman and a black man tell me about your product? Your ad shouldn't need an explanation.

As for the ad being shitty, that i can agree to. But it's no more a bad decision then the 360 "Jump-in" Ads.

The pictures are definitely not racist.

The real atrocity is that [insert anti-Sony fanboyism that'll piss someone off, I just know it here].

[poloplayr]

Political correctness promoters can go f**k themselves.

hate to point it out, but they both are chicks.. :) :) :)

Well what about the PSP commercials with the "black" squirrels and the "Hispanic" dust bunnies? What was the point of giving those cartoons specific stereotypical mannerisms and accents? Was there any discussion or arguements about these when the commericals were new? Cuz I wasn't paying attention. I thought they were funny, but I wondered if anyone was gonna get up in arms about them. Personally, my favortie was the MLB 06 The Show commercial with the baseballs with Boston accents talking about how they always get beat and now thanks to the PSP they could get "beat in the pahk, in the cah...etc" I wonder if that only aired in New England because of the relevance. And being from Boston and having the most prominent Bostonian accent, and having to hear Red Sox fans bitch and moan about "The Curse" and then raving like lunatics when we finally won the series 2 years ago I laughed my freaking head off, but wondered if hardcore Red Sox fans were going to get uppity and bitchy.
I just don't remember if there was any controversy over those. I just remembered them because of the current billboard discussion.
