Multi-billionaire megacorp still not punk, surprisingly
Seems Sony's been trying a new marketing campaign of defacing cities with ads disguised as street art. So it's like all the taggers in your neighborhood, except without any of the integrity, artistic drive, or admirable risk-taking in hefty fines levied on an individual.
There's too many days in the 21st Century when Grant Morrison's theories on memes, marketing and magick as the artillery of the war for psychological real estate are dead-on.
I'd boycott, but they just invented that sweet holo-data technology that stores terabytes in a space smaller than the distance between my charm and your sister's bra clasp.
And therein lies my point: Sony, you don't have to mark your territory on people's backyards to get my demographics. You have the best games and the sweetest superhero movies. Just let it ride. Act like an idiot vying ruthlessly for my dollar, and I'm going to buy Nintendo Revolution out of spite. And nobody wants that.*
*aside to Nintendo: you are so broke after 2007. Touting a DVD player as a hot new feature on your "revolution" console is like watching Dad pop in a Kriss-Kross tape and dance the running man. Die choking on your own rattling bile for your ignorance, fallen angel! How dare you try to entertain me from an ill-informed position!
