Sony PSP graffiti marketing campaign? Options

[medic]

I like this quote from one of the website,

Michelle's not buying Sony's claims it had nothing to do with it, either. "It's quite obviously an advertisement, but when I called Playstation Consumer Services this morning, [the representative] claimed to know nothing about the campaign. I guess there's just some clever youngster out here that just really LOVES the PSP and wants the whole world to know about it..."

That "customer rep" most likely does not know the name of there CEO let alone if they threw money out the window to do something like this. People are idiots. Sony would have no need to do something like this, yet out of all those website with those articles, I see no drop of proof that Sony had anything to do with it. So as it stands now, they have no one to pen it on.

A picture has also appeared on US site Wooster Collective which appears to back up the theory that Sony is responsible. According to the caption the photograph, which was taken in Philadelphia, "shows a dude hired by Sony (or their ad agency). Using a set of prints that the company has sent him, he's copying the images from the campaign onto the wall.

Since a picture most likely from a few hundred feed away, these people make me laugh. Not only could those be simple drawling's made off a computer, unless they see a signature or anything on it - they still have no proof. Sony would be risking to much to vandalize property, and I am sure some idiot will try to sue them over it. That's all the world is about now a days...

Sony has nothing to do with it, I would put money on it. Plus they are some ugly half a**ed paintings anyway, seeing that wouldnt make me wan't to spend $250.00 on a PSP.

aww, i'm getting my PSP tommorow! can't wait!! the white one too :P

well, the picture wit the dude copying it off a paper kinda shows sony sent them, besides..they all look pretty much the same, so..must of been from the same source. it's kind of sad how sony has to do that, i mean, they can do so well themselves. honestly, they are very creative though, how..the PSP is like replacing skateboards, etc.

there aren't any grafitti like that up here in Canada though, at least i am not aware of.

Yes! I told my friends to hold off buying a PSP so they could get the white one. Is the white one available everywhere, or are you importing it? Supposedly, ugly fingerprints won't show on the white one as much as they show on black one.

I think none of you read the articles.

I agree.

Sony is at it again. Check out some of their newer ads, which appeared in London.
