PSP graffiti campaign?

It seems that PSP graffiti has been popping up all over the U.S.  The speculation is that Sony is funding this as an ad campaign.  All of the art appears to be by the same artist, so for one person to be tagging walls in Philly, L.A., New York, Chicago, and San Francisco would be ridiculous.  There is even a photo of one person tagging a wall and copying his design from a small grid printout in his hands.

That's very awful, and I hope someone will get caught and tried for vandalism.

Actually alot of companies do this I remember seeing a tv special about it. They pay the people who own the buildings of course before they just start spray painting.

So what happens if someone goes and turns that PSPopsicle into a massive penis?

I would laugh quite heartily to see a PSP smear campaign of people just spraying over the pics.

[yap]

People have been doing just that.  They paint blood over the characters' eyes then some rhyming thing about how they'll never buy another sony product again.

But what's funny is if sony is actually paying the building owners to paint these murals, then the defacers are the only ones breaking any law.

It's all stupid viral marketing anyway, sony sucks ass.
