At some point in time, Sony had a marketing company put up a fake blog called alliwantforxmasisapsp.com. By the time I got wind of it, it had been yanked. However, thanks to the people at Consumerist, we can now see its contents.
There's a lot of attention being called to the moment where the guy in the springy Santa hat humps a ladder. I think that's pretty good. I think the comments are actually a lot better. Not only do you get to see market exec characterizations of the web community -
OMFG! IMHO that is teh LAWLZ funniez! I SMP! Srsly. 'O'RLY?', You may ask. Yes, RLY.

but you can also see the comments of the dozens of pissed off people that caught on.
Sometimes, I can't help but feel sorry for Sony. As far as crappy years go, this one has got to be the most craptacular. The PS3 is late, too expensive, too short in supply, and has totally bombed review-wise. Their batteries start blowing up and require a massive recall. And now this. Too bad it's all their own fault.
