The PSP Dust ball ad campaign

Since you’ve already seen the Tekken Dark Resurrection Dust ball advert, this isn’t exactly breaking news, so tag this under off-topic. It’s just that we’re a bit curious about CVG’s (computerandvideogames.com) befuddlement over the Sony‘s latest Dust-ball ad campaign.

Here’s a pertinent bit of their take on the advert they’ve seen:

You may well already have been irritated by the ads on TV, which end with the baffling tagline “PSP – it’s like carpet you can watch outside”. Which of course is meant to symbolise the… erm… no, it makes no sense to us.

Well, it is not supposed to symbolize anything. It is supposed to be funny. It is basically two dust balls with Mexican accents acting “teh stupid.” As CVG has said, Sony has as of late, made a series of quite underwhelming adverts as of late. (Except for that PS3 baby advert that still scares the bejesus out of some of us here at QJ. Why? Don’t ask.) Something that’s offbeat in a manner that actually makes us laugh(sometimes) is perhaps welcome.

Or perhaps CVG is right, and as some of you who have left comments on the previous article has said, it’s just plain lame.

Judging from the comments you guys left on the previous Dust ball article, some of you guys hate the campaign, some of you found it hilarious. So here’s a question to those who found it funny: What’s the “punch” in the punchline, that the ones who are underwhelmed are missing?
