Sony, how do I love thee .. let me count the ways

I don't need a reason to not buy Sony ever again, but now I have even one more!!

In their zest to sell PSPs this holiday, and in their startling hubris and predictable ignorance of the level of sophistication of their customers, Sony created a fake blog of a non-existent kid who wants a PSP for Christmas and, as a service to other such needy kids in the same tragic circumstances, has helpfully gathered the 1337est warez and phat beatz to needle and pester their parents with, as though gathering lame remixes of Sony-worshipping jingles and goofy homemade videos on a Web page will factor into ANY parent's purchasing decision. This was clearly someone's pathetic misconception of a viral marketing stunt, which was so easily seen through that the comments it has gathered are driving more traffic now than the original intent of the site--and those posting are NOT happy with Sony.

This is a beautiful example of why you (Sony, or any business really) MUST NOT condescend to your audience, in your advertising, in your policies, in your practices. Sony has turned epic disdain for us lowly "little peeple" into an art form. In today's day and age, us little peeple can fight back with a vengeance.

EDIT: Sony has admitted that its fake site is actually fake. Of course, whenever Sony admits wrongdoing, they don't actually apologize for it .. they just kinda go, 'ok ok, we're busted. whatever.'

Busted. Nailed. Snagged. As many of you have figured out (maybe our speech was a little too funky fresh???), Peter isn't a real hip-hop maven and this site was actually developed by Sony. Guess we were trying to be just a little too clever. From this point forward, we will just stick to making cool products, and use this site to give you nothing but the facts on the PSP.

Sony Computer Entertainment America

Oboy. Thanks for insulting our intelligence, Sony. We can see that you've really learned from the experience. We can't wait to be insulted by you again!
