First, they launched a blog and lied to everyone about it. Followed by getting caught, but still not realizing or admitting any kind of fault and now they plan on censoring people. Now I agree when it comes to pornography there can be differing opinions, but Sony if you take a look back at history, you will see that censoring people never ever ends up well. In regard to the Blu-ray, I have one word for you Sony - Betamax. [...] [...] So let’s give a quick rundown on the life and times of good old Sony lately.

Wed, 03 Jan 2007 18:14:32 +0000 http://marketinghipster.com/?p=12#comment-3 [...] I have to be honest usually by this time I would of dropped this whole Sony PSP thing, but after Sony posted that flippant response saying that they were “Too Funky Fresh”, my opinion is that they deserve everything they get. So the latest episode of Sony putting their proverbial foot in their mouth’s continues as a spoof site of the old, fake, terribly done ‘all I want for xmas is a psp site’ has just launched. It is very funny with some great artwork and pretty much the entire site is dedicated to bashing Sony and their marketing practices which by the past behavior I am all in favor of. Dear Sony, here is a clue for you. This is not going to go away on it’s own. Your degrading remark admitting it was you just added more fuel to this already raging fire. Now it is time that you take your heads out of the sand and do what any 5 year old knows to do when he or she has made a mistake, APOLOGIZE! Just release a press release saying the following: “We did not realize how this blog was going to be seen and we have now come to the realization that the last thing we as a company wants to do is alienate and lie to people most important to us, our customers. This will never happen again and we will begin working to regain your trust immediately.” Share and Enjoy:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
