There have been other adverts found of this type.
And it isnt racist, kinda, the other girl has a go at the other one, so its not one sided.

Do you? I think it looks a bit tacky. I think I'd prefer to have it with black bits on it...

That's probably exactly what they're doing.

To be honest, the subtle racism could well be just to stir up controversy. All exposure is good exposure after all. People won't stop buying PSPs because an advert could be construed as racist, but they will probably talk about the advert, and therefore the PSP.

Sony can't really be accused of racism, as the advert isn't overtly racist, it could simply be construed in such a way. The worst that could happen would be a few complaints and perhaps an advertising watchdog ordering them to take the ads down.

If you're trying to tell me Sony have purposely put out a racist advert then nope.

Can racist connections be made with it? Yup but only by the person viewing it.


Unless of course i'm wrong and they're all racist gets in Sony :-D
