Sony Graffiti Ads Draw More Anger

Philly.com is running the confirmation that Sony paid a vendor to lease wallspace for their PSP graffiti ads. Philadelphia groups are slamming the ads as affronts to clean urban spaces, and the Licenses and Inspections Department in the city is planning to cite the business owner. From the article: "Jake Dobkin, copublisher of the Gothamist Web site, considers himself a street-art aficionado. He said the Sony campaign hit his SoHo neighborhood in Manhattan a few weeks ago with not only 'dozens' of spray-painted murals but 'hundreds' of posters of the same cutesy youths. He took aim at Sony for trying to dupe people like him. 'It's clearly a large campaign, and deserves a thoughtful, measured response,' he wrote on his blog. 'Here's mine: corporate graffiti sucks.'"

re:"better screen"

WTF indeed. How would you make the screen on the PSP "better"? It's the best portable screen I've seen - um - in my LIFE?
Bigger perhaps? They have these kewl new gadgets called laptops. Might wanna peep those sometime, or those throwaway cheapo portable DVD players. Seriously - what should they do? Project the images directly on the back of the retina with a group of micro-lasers? Sounds neat - sure - but good lord, think of the battery life man!

Not to mention the cost...
