Shocking PS3 Advert (NSFW) May 14, 2008
Read more Consoles , Gadgets , Games , Gizmodo UK , PS3
There are many ways to sell a PS3. Better games, reducing the price and even overpriced adverts and posters. Some of the commercials are fun, some dumb and others downright odd but on some level they make the PS3 a desirable object. They also justify the lives of ad men.
This one though from ad firm, TBWA\Vienna, in Austria has to be the most disturbing one yet and will no doubt make some of you want to hurl your breakfast across the room. OK, now while a photo of a guy with a six-pack may not seem like the most disturbing ad picture ever created, you’ll have to jump to see the full shot.
I’m warning you now though that this is probably not safe for work (NSFW) - OK, definitely NSFW - and, on a personal note, I feel this poster brings a whole new meaning to the term ‘thumb-stick’.
You have been warned. -Martin Lynch

thumb-dick
I can't make my mind up if this targets the PS3 at a gay market or it aims to stick in your mind like the Bobbitt story for the same penile-amputation-phobia reasons.
slightly erect lol
what are they suggesting by this? that the controls are so complicated that you should also use your genitalia to achieve maximum results?
or that the PS3 is about as useful as a thumb for a penis?
Possibly that it's so good, you'd want to make love to it?
This is truly freaky! lmfao, maybe it's so good that it gives people pleasure? lol
New meaning for 'Thumbing a Softie'!
Ive got one thing to say WTF, clearly Sony are getting desperate on the advertising front.
Lol! One extra thumb ready for action! Silly ad though..
i was just thinkin..
his willy is tiny
but..
thats no man-gem
its a friggin THUMB
wtf
Disturbing? Make me hurl? What is wrong with you? OMG, it's a naked man! Looking at it will make me teh ghey!
Puerility aside: naked man shown in Playboy; deep!
Bob, we get that you like the penis. Naked man in a mag for heterosexual males? Well i guess Bob likes it at least!
I think it is giving the impression that the PS3 is better than sex, you will sacrifice you penis for an additional thumb. After the Austrian cellar man, you can't be surprised by disturbing things coming from that country....
lol
