Sony's apparent underground graffiti-ad campaign is rankling some citizens. While Sony has not officially endorsed the campaign, the series of identical PSP-toting graffiti characters appeared in the last few weeks in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Chicago.
"Is anyone else concerned that Sony Playstation paid someone to vandalize our neighborhood to sell their latest toy," writes a Los Angeles resident. "It's quite obviously an advertisement, but when I called Playstation Consumer Services this morning, they claim to know nothing about the campaign. I guess there's just some clever youngster out here in LH that just really LOVES the PSP and wants the whole world to know about it..."
They spray painted that on the side of a house near the park where my kids play. Thanks a lot Sony. Now what the hell does "PSP" stand for?

The homeowner should definately sue them. I've seen stuff like this in NYC, but it was only done on the actual street, where eventually it wore away, not on any buildings.
If I didn't know better, I'd say Microsoft's Xbox 360 marketing team is behind this.
