well, to avoid some of the arguing but to keep enough people offended they should have put both images of white dominating black and vice versa next to each other. That way people could see that neither side was not definitely winning and people would surely be offended enough to think about it, maybe raise a little fuss, but not enough for Sony to retract their advertising campaign.
Another way to look at it, since this is an anime fan site, how often do we see racism in anime and Japanese culture/history? Sony being a Japanese company, i think it's possible that Sony could very well just look at us as stupid gaijin to stur up like a bee's nest of electronics consuming. Now, you tell me, Gubi & others, am i being racist or stereotyping in this last paragraph?

Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?
