Sony goes for the bigot market

Jon sent a link to this post which takes aim at Sony's latest race-baiting ad:

It seems to me pretty stupidly racist, frankly, and I'm certainly not one who is keen to toss that term around lightly. I think that the latex gloves that the White Beast is wearing so she doesn't even come in contact with the black girl/boy (I honestly can't tell) is an especially nice touch, as is the way the necktie thingy forms a Madonna-esque cross with WB's bra support. Yech.

Nice to see that Sony is willing to be "edgy".

For the slow-of-comprehension, that last sentence was intended to be read sarcastically.

I can't see how that's racist at all. If the two had been reversed no one would care, so why is it a big deal this way around? Posted by: Liam at July 8, 2006 02:59 PM
