Is this even real?!

[gubi-gubi]

A duck is a duck and a house is a house and a car is a car, and an Asian is an Asian, a Native American is a Native American, and a billboard ad with a series of black and white people struggling while representing a product is still a fucking ad with a series of black and white people struggling while representing a product. If people become afraid to call something what it is just because it involves race, then it just proves there is something that needs to be changed in society.

Yes a duck is a duck but a white PSP is not a white person and a black PSP is not a black person. Linking the two is not some great representation of race relations its pretty damn offensive and is cheapening how far we have come in race relations.

It?s like Elcoholic says if they were colors not representing a real race, then no one would have looked twice at it. But since it does, old ladies are fainting and Politian?s are bitching and around the world people?s underwear is crawling up their ass. People need to talk about this stuff, and not fear being labeled a racist. That is a barrier the WHOLE WORLD needs to get past. This being as issue just makes it obvious that there is a problem of barriers. People don't think they should be crossed, but if there are barriers, we really haven't made any progress have we?

Yeh if they were other colours they wouldn't of done it. It wouldn't work because the whole premise is about race not the colours involved and not even the product itself which is crap advertising anyway.

While the ad is still ugly as hell with what appears to be a poodle on one persons head, it think it was a very bold decision by Sony, and one of the best they have made in some time. Way be heralds of truly furthering race relations, even if most people are too ignorant and afraid to see the truth in it.

Are you joking? What the hell favours do you think Sony are going to do with this advert? How the hell can this favour race relations by making one of the biggest seperations of white and black I have seen in a long time.

Great post Blight. And very much true in european society aswell. People need to talk about these things, not sweep them under the carpet.

Same goes to that comment to. Who does Sony think it is to be trying to represent race relations? How is offending people on a billboard adressing the topic? It doesn't adress anything in anyway. Tell me how you think this is a positive thing?
