Sony Ad - Racist or Not? - GoFuckYourself.com

selena · 07-12-2006, 10:04 AM

The manchild showed this to me the other evening. According to CNET, it has now been pulled.

Do you think it was racist?

MFXumeroth · 07-12-2006, 10:06 AM

hummm, Not sure... Kinda...but previous PSP where Black, soooo, it's probably an analogy or something, besides Sony is too smart to fuck up like this.

AaronM · 07-12-2006, 10:08 AM

LOL.....Yeah, racist seems like an understatement to me.

Rock Solid · 07-12-2006, 10:09 AM

I don't think so. It's just showing a contrast between two colors. Now throw in a beaner and say PSP Brown is coming, that might be racist.

hahahahaha

ADL Colin · 07-12-2006, 10:22 AM

It was shown in the Netherlands. Maybe it's a Christmas ad

Tom_PM · 07-12-2006, 10:23 AM

The contrast in colors of clothes and faces I get, but why is she grabbing the other persons face and looking like a total psycho freak? lmao

cranki · 07-12-2006, 10:24 AM

Prolly a marketing stunt.

Because she's a cracka.

madawgz · 07-12-2006, 10:26 AM

it sure does...why the fuck would they do that :\

sicone · 07-12-2006, 10:26 AM

I'm sure it's not meant to be racist, but it can and will be very easily taken as that.

Tdog · 07-12-2006, 10:28 AM

Nice add, no racism on that.

notabook · 07-12-2006, 10:30 AM

Wow... kickass add, almost makes me want to get back into portable gaming. All that pic needs to make it perfect is the black chick in chains and the white woman holding a whip. Man that would be hot.

I don't agree..how would you react if it was the other way around?

Relevant to your post, here is the second ad they released

Zarathustra · 07-12-2006, 10:34 AM

Its not only racist, its sexiest! Did you see how high her top is?

teksonline · 07-12-2006, 10:38 AM

looks like it was done on purpose...

baldur · 07-12-2006, 10:40 AM

Come on.. It's just 2 people.

XxXotic · 07-12-2006, 10:43 AM

Racist? Hardly. Maybe had she been lynching him or whipping him or something it would be racist. Society has filled itself with a bunch of oversensitive pussies.

MFXumeroth · 07-12-2006, 11:01 AM

Second add ends the discussion.

LittleSassy · 07-12-2006, 11:41 AM

Well...kinda.

HpicAnn · 07-12-2006, 11:44 AM

Don`t think so!
The picture allows you to get the idea that the new white playstation portable is better than the previous one in black.

J. Falcon · 07-12-2006, 11:53 AM

Maybe a tad racist.

Tom_PM · 07-12-2006, 11:55 AM

It's not even the slightest racist IMHO. Why is it? Someone explain

sharp · 07-12-2006, 12:04 PM

not at all. but I can see how over sensative deucebags could take it as so.

MyNameIsNobody · 07-12-2006, 12:24 PM

C'mon.. if it was the other way around it wouldn't be considered racist

MFXumeroth · 07-12-2006, 12:29 PM

Yes, unfortunatelly black people r the most racist of all. I do understand why sometimes, but they get offended way to easilly. Probably this post is going to offend some actually...

Elli · 07-12-2006, 01:46 PM

Seen together as an entire campaign, it's a cool idea. Extremely pale girl vs. extremely dark girl in a lesbian/catfight/supermodelfight scenario. Makes for very captivating visuals. Reminds me of Grace Jones and her dramatic photos.

djroof · 07-12-2006, 01:50 PM

nice marketing

reynold · 07-12-2006, 07:50 PM

I guess it depends on how you interpret that..

sickkittens · 07-12-2006, 07:52 PM

Maybe if it said ""Whitey" is coming".

Mr. Romance · 07-12-2006, 07:53 PM

hummmm, not sure

Mr. Romance

Serious... I'm surprised there hasn't been a push to make the phone company get rid of the white pages

Mr. Blue · 07-12-2006, 08:07 PM

Hmm, I'm sure people will take it as racist. Personally I thought of Yin Yang symbol when I first saw it. Black / White, constant struggle of equal forces, blah blah blah, but I'm sure the yin yang symbol is racist as well and I've just missed the memo on it.

Shey · 07-12-2006, 08:13 PM

I don't think it's racist. I think it's stupid. What do two chicks have anything to do with PSP's? Maybe if they were midgets (portable... get it?)

E$_manager · 07-12-2006, 08:35 PM

i think it means absolutely nothing. Only people preocupied with their color of scin will call it racism.

escorpio · 07-12-2006, 08:35 PM

It's racial, not racist.

CamsLord · 07-12-2006, 08:36 PM

whats racist about it?

Because white bitches are crazy.

Doctor Dre · 07-12-2006, 08:37 PM

Coke made coke black, the black ipod etc etc.

I don't see why they can't do it the opposite. I don't see this as racism.

ProducerCashDave · 07-12-2006, 08:39 PM

That chick is hot btw

Spunky · 07-12-2006, 08:50 PM

Basically. What were they thinking???

GoNe · 07-12-2006, 08:55 PM

I dont think it's racist but I am sure there are a few ppl that think it's racist.

HizAzPhun · 07-12-2006, 08:59 PM

i don't get it.

silly ad, yes, but I am missing the "racist" aspect of it.

BT · 07-12-2006, 09:01 PM

cracker ass cracker

sam from montreal · 07-12-2006, 09:16 PM

their always be some ppl who see racism anywhere

Sam

Scott McD · 07-13-2006, 05:18 AM

People are always looking for any excuse to cry racism.

I wonder if it was reversed, would it even be spoken about ?? Doubt it...

There is no racism. If it reversed it would be deemed non-racist. You can't say anything bad about a minority without being called a racist. If I say some black dude is an asshole I'd be labled a "racist". Well maybe he IS an asshole. Or are all blacks pefect and only whites can be assholes? Only whites have flaws. No other race can have flaws or you are a racist. It's all bullshit.
