All Sony Wants For Christmas Is A Better Marketing Company

The above clip appeared on a blog called "All I Want for X-mas Is A PSP." From that site:

here's the deal::: i (charlie) have a psp. my friend jeremy does not. but he wants one this year for xmas.

so we started clowning with sum not-so-subtle hints to j's parents that a psp would be teh perfect gift. we created this site to spread the luv to those like j who want a psp!

consider us your own personal psp hype machine, here to help you wage a holiday assault on ur parents, girl, granny, boss — whoever — so they know what you really want.

we'll let you know how it works for us. pls return the favor.

more to come,
c&j.

Marketing 101: If you going to do viral marketing, please avoid clusterfucks like pretending to be consumers order to appeal to appeal to other consumers. A bigger faux paux is doing things like creating a hardcore fanboy website and registering it under a marketing company. Real smart there, fellas. Brian Ashcraft
