Why does this have to be about race? Why can't it just be seen for what it is?

A symbolic metaphor.

Any slots at the senior level, including CEO or other slots, will be filled internally.

Well, thats because society at large wont let it.

See: MLK day becoming a national holiday, Affirmative Action, Ebonics, Kwanza, etc.

See also: KKK, Nazi rallies in known black neighborhoods, racial profiling by police, etc.

If the two girls roles were reversed and "black was coming", we wouldn't even hear about this.

Some stupid group out there would make a big fuss about it ... everyone gets their panties in a bunch over every little thing nowadays ... it's inevitable.

yeah, true. GLAAD would come out and say it's making lesbians look violent.

this is in europe so there won't be chaos with the organizations.

I'm boycotting Sony until a brown PSP is released.

I predict the number of people offended by this ad will be significantly less than the number of people calling it offensive.

From a strictly advertising perspective, though, dumb move... assuming this ad is in America.

Even if it was in America, which according to Phil it isn't, it would get tons of exposure and although the billboard would have to be taken down after a couple of days, they would have received enough publicity to make it worth it.

I don't see it as dumb, it's an ad for a new white model of their product. Maybe if the message on the board was "white power" then it'd be a dumb move. People complain just for the sake of complaining nowadays.

Maybe that was Sony's intent all along, to offend to get national exposure. Good move Sony. I'm glad someone still has the balls to make real ads nowadays.

[Phil Hellmuth]

its an european ad btw.
