Anyone???

I really don't understand them./ They seem to say that after playing your PS2 you will feel a sudden urge to either dive into blood water of sleep next to the washing machine (the dog one)

can ANYONE tell me what they mean??

I believe that adverts that show footage are much better.

Now, with the up and coming GC and Xbox, expect adverts with loads of impressive footage of games. People will see the fantastic graphics for the first time and will probably more inclined to go and buy one. Oh, that 3rd place thing is messed up. The guy who thought of it doesn't even know what it means!

Probably a Marketing Studies (or whatever it's called) student trying to do a "Shigsy" and leap frog the industry into legendary status.

ok
firstly you have to remember that the third place is a (this must be the tenth time i have written this) state of consiousness between the dream world and the waking world, in the third place you have a hightened sense of awareness and everything in the third place is shall we say "weird"

Sony use the Wolfman,fish guts,and the floaty head dude, because they are weird, and they suit the Third Place theme
and because they will stick in your head.

i mean come on how can you forget.."I AM TEETH I AM FUR I AM DRIBBLE I AM WOLF MAN, MY ROCKET IS MADE FROM PURE CARBON AND SMASHES THROUGH PLANETS!!"

besides you arent supposed to understand them they are supposed to make you go" what the hell was that?"


oo
did anyone get the letter from some phillapeno kid asking you to play F1 2001 really well to show his brother that you are good at the game?
yup you heard me

sony sent out "hand written" letters to everyone who registed their PS2 with a "ripped out" page from a PS2 mag it was telling you about the F1 2001 competition sony was running at the time.. Genius i tell you Genius

What was the point diving into the blood stained sea knowing that there is no land near?

Whatever. Too intellectual for the bog-standard human to think about during an advert, I reckon. And no, that doesn't include me.

It's a damn good advertising strategy if you ask me. Look at us all talking about it wondering what it's all about, that's what Sony want, they want you to be confused so it sticks in your head.
