    New Sony Ad: Play PlayStation 3, Save a Nazi's Life

    Apparently, if you play the PlayStation 3, you'll give a blood transfusion to a Nazi, or a heart transplant to Joan of Arc. What in holy hell do these mean, Sony? Updated

    We've seen a large number of creepy as hell Sony ads, and these seem to be just about at the same level as the dude with a thumb for a penis. And gee whiz, the whole "creepy ad" strategy seems to be working, as Sony is absolutely dominating the gaming marketplace. Right? Keep on keeping on, Sony! [Copyranter]

    Update: Sony sends along this note from the president of BBDO Chile, the ad house responsible for these things:

    This creative design did not involve and was never approved by Sony Computer Entertainment or Sony. This "mock campaign" was developed by BBDO Chile staff and was submitted to various creative competitions/festivals without prior notification or approval from SCE/Sony, and it is not representative of the views or advertising policies of SCE/Sony. BBDO Chile apologizes for using this creative concept without authorization or prior approval, and for its misrepresentation of the PlayStation brand and its values.

    Cristián Lehuedé B.
    Presidente Ejecutivo
    BBDO Chile

    Oops! Sony can't be happy with BBDO over that one.
