    LMAO, funny thing is that in South America PS2 is still the console. Also, turns out the console was actually xbox.

    And WHAT THE FUCK happened to Sony's bullshit liar-liar pants on fire lie about their consoles being in a 10 year cycle. Fuck you, maybe if you count Brazil, which you fucking can't.

    I had the Visor and a version of the Nomad, and of course I had a PS2.

    All great suggestions, but you forgot the GPS attachment for the Visor!

    I think, 140 years from now people will be offended that we thought they would dress like this...

    The awesome series have some insight on that:
    [xspblog.com]

    I think nowadays we have so many different and segmented content that in the future we'll not even be able to judge how "advertising campaigns were bad back then"...

    But I guess we'll always be able to say stuff like how bad this "formelly known Sony" ad campaign was awful, how they were too 2D, how the special effects were bad, how weirdly we dressed back then.... etc etc.

    What's funny is my best friend had 4 of the above gadgets back then; the PS2, the Creative Nomad, the Nikon camera, and the Motorola text message pager thing. The last one was by far the coolest in my opinion back then. He would email me all the time with that thing. I could always tell that it was him because the email address was goofy as hell, 235923459809@_____.com. It was just a string of numbers. I forgot the carrier though.

    Prius ads, for burying bad science under a heaping helping of tree -hugging feel good.

    Any ad featuring 4-wheel drive vehicles doing it in the dirt, at least after driving off road becomes a federal offense.

    Isn't that the lady that chased Tom (from Tom and Jerry) around with a rolling pin? Why is she talking like Jar Jar Binks?

    I never throw out magazines, so it's fun to do this same sort of thing every so often; look back what was "hot and exciting" ten years ago. Many times it's hilarious in retrospect.

    It's especially fun with video game rags. "Duke Nukem Forever, scheduled to come out next year, looks amazing!"

    I'd like to nominate the Droid "Pretty" commercial in the category of "sexism", John.
