Forgive the extremely awful pun here, but I'm beginning to think that Sony's getting a bit too.....cocky.

it might result in some sales you know >_>

1. The guy in that ad is so not getting laid tonight.
2. This ad is supposed to sell consoles?? *scratches head* I don't get it.
3. If I ever wake up in the morning to go urinate and pull out my member and see a thumb instead, I will let loose a blood curling scream.... then sue Sony.
4. I really hear that European ads tend to be... weird... by American standards, but even this is a bit much.
5. *Plunks money behind Nintendo Wii or XBOX 360*

Still can't put my thumb on what Sony is trying to do here...

[Saxito Pau]

OMG O_o

[TheApprentice]

^well i guess that one is a bit easier on the eyes...

[Saxito Pau]

hint: look beyond the obvious. Take a nice close look.  Even I didn't notice it at first...

[W1nTry]

They could have found better looking models though XD

[phoenix31tt]

much prefer that one over the thumb

[W1nTry]

much prefer that one over the thumb

That goes without saying... I wonder what the perspective is from the female GATTers... do they prefer the former (thumb) or latter (tit buttons)

[TheApprentice]

LOL @ tit buttons..

[New Era Outlaw]

Wow. I'd normally say 'I'd hit it' in the case of that second ad, but it looks like mother nature beat me to it.

With an ugly stick.
Many, MANY times.

Wow, us on the other side of the world in an uproar of european ads... lol, the difference in culture is like night and day. Who gives a rat's ass. Cause we don't get it, doesn't mean they don't. It's like when people go nuts over cultures that eat dogs and guinea pigs. If YOU been eating guinea pig all your life and someone comes out of nowhere and gives you a chicken or a side of pig to eat, you're gonna watch em like they nuts. It's all relative... subjective.
