Is Sony Using Racism to Promote the PSP White?

[R-iZZy]

The fourth of July is an special holiday instated that Americans might never forget the struggle for independence and freedom, as such it's somewhat ironic that this little beauty should come to our attention this morning. Behold, and bask in the glory of the most recent in Sony's spate of horrifically ill-advised ads.



Just to be sure I wasn't being hypersensitive, I showed the picture to my girlfriend, her reaction, "Oh my God!' Then I showed it to my brother, who looked at it for a second, and then his eyes widened, "What the...!?!" So what do you guys think, is Sony just naively innocent, or are they just looking for attention any way they can get it?

I thought it would be a pretty interesting discussion, considering Sony's been pulling a lot of fishy moves, lately. This has become a hot topic on a few boards I've come across. Any personal opinions?
