Why parents hate gamers: PS3 eBay pornography

Here at QJ, we don’t mind a little innuendo every now and then. We understand that an expression of certain liberal ideas fosters goodwill and… well, it’s just funny as heck sometimes. However, some things are just completely off.

For example, there are your usual PS3 auctions, and there are the ones that border on pornography, with men humping their PS3. Then there are the auctions where scantily-clad females model Sony‘s console (and their bodies) for eBay auctions, hoping that the added sex factor makes it more noticeable. Well, someone’s taken notice, and that person’s decided to save a bunch of those pictures for one reason or another.

We can understand the need for money, of course. We can also understand that sex sells, especially in this day and age where innuendo is rampant, especially in advertising. We just don’t want even more people ending up like Tomonobu Itagaki and doing something unsightly to women.

Besides, do you actually need sex to sell a PS3 at a reasonable markup on the net? We don’t really think so.
