Sony – Like the Energizer Bunny – They Keep Going and Going…..

21 December 2006 by Cord Silverstein, No Comments

SonyI 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.”
