This photo has been making the rounds online, so I thought I’d share it and laugh at all the controversy it’s received.
I don’t know what’s a rumor and what’s truth, but apparently this concept ad was created for PlayStation 3. At first glance, it looks like a nude photo, but upon further inspection, you discover the man actually has a third thumb for playing video games.
People are all hot and bothered because it’s so “grotesque”, “obscene”, and “offensive to children”.
Come on folks… Do you honestly believe this is the new ad campaign for PlayStation 3? It’s obviously a joke and not for kids. I think it’s brilliant.
I can speak as a designer myself when I say that all designers strive to come up with something that gets your attention. You have to think of new and different concepts, and it doesn’t always have to be a literal representation of the product. In this case, there is no game system at all. You’re just seeing the memorable image of someone loving his PlayStation 3 so much that he’d use a thumb instead of a penis.
It’s a funny joke; probably wasn’t supposed to be leaked, but now it is, so there you have it.
it looks like the top of the thumb and thumbnail.
btw, got your message and will call fri afternoon or monday. grandmother’s funeral is tomorrow morning.
