I don't get it. I understand the whole "white" think cause the console appears white, but other than that, I don't get why they thought that was a good idea.

I can hear Jesse Jackson now.

And by yourself and others posting about it on discussion forums like these, you're only generating more buzz around the ad, increasing attention and product sales.

I love viral advertising/viral marketing. It does half the work for you.

Oh, wow. That's really awful. It makes Sony look bad.
