PS3: Is This Living?

Imagine with me for a second, you’re on some marketing team and your job is to produce a high quality commercial for the PlayStation 3. Let’s just say you have a large budget of money to sink into this production and you know your sales are a bit sluggish.
What would you do? Look at the strengths in the PlayStation 3 and work with them, of course! For instance, you have the cheapest Blu-Ray solution on the market and a system that plays the highest graphic quality games in life-like realism. Physics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and CPU power dedicated to gaming at a new level.
Which topic do you exploit? Do you go the route of Blu-Ray to show off the new technology (after all, half the PS3 box is dedicated to marketing Blu-Ray) or do you go for feats of CPU/GPU strength?
How about, you just do something completely different…
Is this living? If so, maybe you’re already dead…
(Thanks, PS3 Fanboy)

I wonder if they contracted out the “marketing genius” behind UPS’s “What Can Brown Do For You?”
I don’t know, what can you do for me Brown?
Here I thought the point of marketing was to answer “the question” not ask them.
This video reminds me of Lost. You watch it and have more questions than answers.
First question, why wasn’t this person fired for the last five commercials?
Second question, what degrees/qualifications did the marketing team have?
Third question, what was this video about?
Fourth question, why? WHY SONY!?

Fifth question: Why an ugly, naked man wearing a jockstrap? WHY?!

Agreed on all points previously given. And might I add…
WHY?!?!

Hahahahaha
WTF was that?!?!?!
Am I supposed to laugh at how utterly retarded and useless that commercial was?
If I had a PS3, I think that atrocity would make me return it!
