Figure this belongs here more than anywhere else: New Sony ad depicts gamer donating blood...to a Nazi.

To be fair, Rommel was a pretty humane guy.

Er, for a Nazi.

I don't think he was a Nazi any more than say, General David Petraeus is a Republican.

As the paper points out, though, few would know Rommel right off the bat.  Not really rage inducing, just weird.

Really, though, I'm more or less just confused as to what the hell the ad has to do with the PS3.

I'd give blood for Rommel

Or Petraeus. 

What can I say?   They both play by the rules.

The only caveat I can think of in such a situation would be if there was a registered sex offender somewhere in the neighborhood, but I think we've already gone down that road.

At a cursory glance, it seems like the state's making a mountain out of an anthill.  Hell, when I was a kid, I recall going over to a friend's house during the summer all day, because both of my parents worked.  As I understand it, there was no money exchanged or anything.  They did it because they were just being neighborly, and it gave both myself and the other kid something to do.

Well, the shit's getting fixed. Sound just like poor wording of a law, really.

Babysitting other people's kids (or watching after them in any capacity apparently) is huge no no in Michigan.

what is this i dont even ¯\(º_·)/¯

While the law as it's worded is stupid, one woman shouldn't be watching the kids of three different families unliscensed. There's a lot of laws about day cares and how they can be operated in Michigan - my last stepmother ran a daycare out of her home. There's strict requirements about the number of pets you can own, the percentage of the house that can be used for business purposes, etc - this is all about the safety of the children.

One or two kids is one thing and it never would have been complained about, but three familiies starts to get excessive, and who's to say that that is where that would stop? Five sets of kids? six? Then you start getting to the point where you can't keep an eye on all of the children at the same time, you don't have the training to handle medical emergencies, you can't garauntee the place is safe for the kids because you're not required to abide by government standards, etc. And I'm not going to get into the issue of the harm it does to nearby daycare centers.

Not to mention statutes about not smoking while you have the kids, and notifying parents if you smoke in the house when you don't have them.  Or things like that.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Gandhi practiced asceticism and wanted others to do the same but he didn't go around telling Nehru to sell his jacket to feed the people.

It doesn't seem like a huge faux pas to me so much as standard tasteless consumerist crap but I guess Indians aren't as resigned about that sort of thing as we are.

Well, that was my main reaction (and Montblanc isn't exactly an Indian company). I was just amused by the silly sad irony.

P.S. Gandhi probably didn't mind Nehru's jackets because they were made in India. Swadeshi much? :glee:

That doesn't make it "fake," per se. But it's not something that was run or approved by Sony, no.

Also, it's pretty well out-weirded by just about every other ad Sony has run over the last decade or so.
