It would be all too easy to comment on the fact that Sony seems to be pushing ads designed to make their core demographic masturbate furiously vomit in terror, but the subtle genius of this promo is almost undetectably erudite. Thankfully, you all have Destructoid to translate the true genius of this piece.
See, there's this old guy, right? Maybe he has an ex-wife who won't let him see the kids, and maybe she's draining him dry with all the alimony he has to pay, and he just can't bring himself to put a gun to his head. This old guy, though, he really likes younger guys. Not in a creepy kind of way, but in more of a "yes, I'll totally spot you on the bench" kind of way, and also, he likes to look at their penises in public bathrooms. But that's also not in a creepy kind of way, but in more of a "wow, your penis is way buff" kind of way. See? So, yeah ... it's totally not creepy.

Damn, I feel like an asshole now. I could have sworn I stopped to see who wrote this. It was still good alliteration. I just don't appreciate it as much, because your name isn't Aaron Linde.
damnit. now I wont be able to use my PSP in public without someone saying something about that commercial. plus I already get enough comments for taking it with me in the first place.
Before: "What games do you play on that? Don't you have a DS?"
After: "Nice PSPenis!"
We missed the To Catch a Predator version of that... "Hi, I'm Chris Hanson from Dateline NBC... When you're done shaking it off, I need to ask you why you came in here today..."
I'm sure that commercial will move a lot of PSP's. Yeah...right. Just glad he wasn't in the stall, taking the Brown's to the Super Bowl. Now that would complicate things a bit.
Even looking at another dude using the urinal is a big, big, No No.
no but Snail, everyone gets that weird-vertigo-y feeling after particularly intense songs. something to do with the constant movement fooling your eye. at first I thought it was an acid flashback until my friend had it.
Here's my attempt at critique over criticism:
"undectably erudite" I don't know what undectably means.
As a writer (semi-professional, that is) you should avoid being histrionic (there's such great irony in that word. Kinda like pentasyllabic). I forget which president said it (probably Roosevelt, that old, sly dog, but never use elaborate words where simple ones would do.
"He broke the cardinal rule of male bathroom etiquette!
Never take a urinal directly next to a another guy."

When i enter a bathroom and see only one person at the urinal, i immediately head for the furthest one away. Because there are people out there who'll try and look at your junk!
why would gorilla suggest a using a diminished vocab, only to plug utterances like "histrionic" and "pentasyllabic" into the same breath? here's a big word: incongruity! i think it was someone in the bible, probably jesus (that old scamp!) who said, "let he who is without stuff be the first to, you know, cast other stuff...at people." also, i don't think misspelling can be considered histrionical. it's more like...an accident?

Hyuk. Got off.
I can't go with someone in the same room...
...small tail see.
Read between the lines.

I kid, I kid.
In my defense, I am tired as fuck, and I don't know why I didn't go to sleep about five hours ago.
sony's marketing dept is a bunch of r-tards
why? i'm sure this will get a lot of people's attention! it's a really clever advertisement!
btw, is the "yyz" in your name taken from the rush song? if yes, then that's pretty sweet! :D

There was one of a guy on a plane and the woman next to him looks down and says "could I possibly touch it"
Or like this one http://www.visit4info.com/details.cfm?adid=24119
There were others aswell. I'll see if I can find them anywhere.
Before: "What games do you play on that? Don't you have a DS?"
After: "Nice PSPenis!"
I'm personally guessing the latter, since with the homophobia the way it is in this country, there's no way in hell the networks go near this facker.
Finally, put Kimberly-Clark Worldwide on notice: Huge missed opportunity for Depends(tm) old-man-diapers product placement.
That shit sucked.

Acid trip indeed!

and i know that its "clever", its just the type of advertising that bugs me to no end
