PSP Blog Site The New LonelyGirl?
Viral marketing is all the rage these days and with the recent discovery of the whole LonelyGirl15 scandal, internet users are taking a closer look at where the blogs they read are actually coming from.
Recently, a blog site went up with accompanying YouTube videos called All I want for Christmas is a PSP. Done in the typical minimalist “Regular Joe” blog style, it features the ramblings of a guy who wants nothing more than a PSP under his tree this year. The language is a bit laughable, almost “too hip.” The graphics are obviously trying to go for that “I did this myself real quick at home” look, yet they still look just a little too well put together. Further investigation into the subject by some intrepid fans revealed that the owner of this particular domain was actually an ad agency.
Is All I want for Christmas is a PSP just another lame attempt by some corporate suits to get us to buy their product by nefarious means? Take a look and see what you think.

Since Sony is the company who created fake “graffiti” as an advertising campaign for the PSP, I have no doubt that this is a similar ruse. Pathetic.
Definitely smacks of false hipness. How tragically lame.
Yeah right…..even if it were’nt sonysuits involved the guy looks like 25 years old…buy you own f*cking PSP It’s only $170 (£86) instead of spending money on crap videos cheap bstrd!
I have to agree with you guys…it is definatly trying too hard to be hip and litters the “blog” with l33tspeak. Also, yeah, the guy looks old enough to buy his own PSP…
That is so lame! And they way the blog is writen, do they think teenagers write that bad!? XD
Holy crap, this is almost as condescending as “Don’t Copy That Floppy”.
