"White is coming" with a white woman holding a black woman by the jaw. Nice concept Sony. :S

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.

That's probably exactly what they're doing.

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

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.
