After being undoubtedly inspired by Sony’s Bravia commercial, Graziano Cecchini (the same guy that dyed the Trevi Fountain red) sent thousands of plastic balls down the Spanish Stairs in Rome as a means of protest.
I guess the question is: Why can’t all protests be this beautiful?

Sony’s PlayStation 3 advertising has always been hit or miss, but since I want to print out a poster sized image of this eye ad to put up on my wall, I’m going to call this one a definite hit.

Why waste a good idea?
Apparently, Sony (which recently ripped off the bunnies for their latest Bravia ad) felt that Apple’s iPod arrangement was going to be too tough to beat, so they just replaced the Nanos with their own DSC-T2 cameras for their latest press photos.
Don’t feel too bad for Apple though, as they’ve been known to do the same thing from time to time as well.
I guess they should both feel flattered; right?

Though the bunnies are still in the spotlight, Sony has created another beautiful Bravia ad that is slipping by relatively unnoticed.
Supposedly made exclusively for the Egyptian market, this ad features one of the Great Pyramids getting covered in string in a very Sony way.
It’s an amazing ad, which is why I wonder about the lack of publicity.
Regardless, here you go:

Hmmm.
Looks like Sony’s new Play-Doh Bunny Bravia ad might not be so original after all.
KozyNDan are an artist team that specialize in bunnies, and some of their past work includes a city filled with brightly colored bunnies:

Seems a bit familiar, doesn’t it?
I’m guessing there’s going to be an uncomfortable phone call between Sony and Passion Pictures some time in the very near future.
