It's a Sony. No baloney..

Tommy Hilfigggger gained nearly instant success by dumping T-shirts in ghetto stores with high rates of shoplifing. The little bangers started wearing them and an MTV music video had a shot of some 'Tommy wear' and the rest is history.

Sony is promoting their little play-thingie via graffitti.



I guess it's created a stir among the beauty police: http://www.kansas.com/mld/kansas/news/13501315.htm

Guess there isn't enough four letter words and "death threats" in this kinda art........

The painful truth is that this is graffiti and graffiti is illegal (Vandalism). Is it less illegal because a game giant is behind it? I'd have to say no. They have a huge corner on the market - they don't need to break laws to spread the word.

That said, I'd rather look at a commercial graffiti that's not covered in four-letter words and violent imagry than the less commercial kind....

I thought the story said that the clubs wanted it to be more like a mural...... well I don't think that that is really the way to advertise either. They otta have to rent billboards that clutter up the view like everyone else. Must admit it was a little marketing savy that they came up with tho......personally I think thier mascot looks a little "dazed and confused"......but still better than the crips and bloods and God know who else.......
