It's creepy, but not a bad idea for the ad……

interesting…i think it speaks to media being very clever about the primal nature of sexuality. most ps3 users are male–so one would think this would be an odd advert to run….but i don't think sony is in any way stupid. hm.

Re: Lizzie –

Ahhahahahahahhahhahahahaahahahahhahahahaha. You Yanks have CLASS? The country that gave us Macdonalds, tit implants, Las Vegas, Disneyland, everything fake and cheap and tacky you can mention? You might not have class but you certainly do have a sense of humour.

Thats quite a sexy ad.. but would have to see the ad in its full context to see how this pic/part of it is relevant to the entire ad… sexy though. But we all know that the rest of the world is waaaaayyyy ahead of us here in the good ol' USofA as far as sexuality and progressive marketing.

I actually think it's rather brilliant. Not for US as you are prudes. Will have to be very careful where this is advertise though, it certainly does not look like a thumb on first glance. It totally tickled me.

528

Show a little nakedness and most people go all uwww, gross and ohhhh thats so sick. If someone had split his head with an axe and blood was oozing all over the pic you would be all "ahhh well thats perfectly alright". Think it´s about time they show some male flesh since women has been exposed for ages now. Jeez ya´ll!

stella says – reply to this

It sickens me that this ad is too provactive for my America. We need to loosen up a bit and not make such a big deal about nudity, nipples, thumbs, asses, crotches. What's the big effing deal? Come on America!

rayray says – reply to this

539

My take on how it pertains to PS3 is its for a a playboy game so they are saying he will get off by using his thumbs playing the game rather than actually having sex with a real woman with his cock.

unlike america, other countries embrace nudity and sexuality a lot more. it doesn't even have to have a sexual connotation or innuendo. it's just like americans to make a big fuss out of a body part. how mature of us. *cough*
