PSP: A Black and White Issue

Sony's latest PSP ad on billboards in the Netherlands has sparked controversy in many places outside of Holland. The ad, which shows a white woman grasping the face of a black woman, has led many to believe that it has racist implications (intentional or not). It's certainly not the first controversial campaign from Sony. We take a look. - http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/adwatch/?id=13192



This is a hilarious example of what can happen when popular culture (ie, advertizment execs working for Sony) doesn't even follow their own politically correct rules. I find it fascinating that this happened in Holland, of all places, the Liberal Mecca!
