no, i think its corporate advertising. i really liked these little guys at first when they first started popping up in my north philadelphia neighborhood, but then when i went to nyc i saw the images papered up on old billboards, buildings… they arent so cute anymore. but def a clever ad campaign.

i work for the railroad and see stuff liek this all the time… i dont think theres any room for anyone to really say whether its bad or good… because personally most people dont really care unless it happens to there stuff and they jus wanna make a comment about how bad it is so they have a reason to complain

your’e completely right!! its not okay for a corporation to do this to public space but, you dont have gobs of cash like they do! And youre wrong to think that thi sis going on “undercover” like Sony is hiding their hand in this from their investors or somehting. THIS IS COMPLETELY LEGAL! People pay money fo this to happen. DISNEY, NIKE, SONY, etc…. they all do it.

Check out some of the viral marketing studios/firms in LA if you want this to go anywhere. Google virus, viral, street, marketing, etc…….

i don’t want that on my house and if it´s not legal to spray it everywhere they should have bought a wall to do it on, if they like to advertise like that.

totally unacceptable… if it’s illegal for gang-bangers to spray everywhere, why is it not illegal for corporations to do it. I thought we were supposed to hold these large corporations to higher standards then this? I know it’ll probably be impossible to prove Sony was behind it, but no way some kid was so psyched about his PSP he just had to show the world.

why isn’t it a bad idea?

what happens when they do it on the side of your house?

or on your garage?

or on your office where you work?

who pays for this to be cleaned up?

not sony im guessing

I like it. It’s a bit on the ‘in your face side’ a,d it is very weird, but if Sony did do it, it isn’t a bad idea actually in my opinion.
