FYI.. they are both women. whistling.gif if they wanted to show white vs black PSP's couldn't they have stuck some legs and arms on a white and black PSP and had them fighting? That would have been neat happy.gif..

If they were going for something cute, yep, but I bet it would still be looked at the same way. tongue.gif
They're just taking personification to a new place. The PSP is sleek and sexy and also seen as "cool" or "cutting edge". It would make sense that they have two attractive women, in what I suppose is stylish clothing, going at it.

Considering that most the people here thought that one of them was a man, that one does not constitute as an attractive woman blink.gif

Its because that backgrounds black, it is difficult making her out tongue.gif

Yeah my boyfriend told me about this, its banned over here now because it was deemed racist by the ITC. I see it as if they both are equal then it's not racist and not showing one race as superior. Plus I think it's really clever advertising.
Come on, this is the Japanese ad... -
