Sega Sticks Its Tongue Out At Sony
from the interesting-advertising-ideas dept
Sega's new advertising campaign mainly involves making fun of Sony for their supply shortage of new PS2 machines. They sent out postcards suggesting their "deepest condolences" at Sony's shipping problems. Looks like advertisers are starting to take a page out of politicians' "dirty campaign tricks" books. How long until Sega demands a manual recount of official sales totals to see who's selling more game machines?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Did anyone follow the link at the end of the article for the "Water Balloon Launcher?" I think any device that hurtles water balloons so fast (75mph) that the manufacturer warns you never to launch them at people destroys the essence of water balloons. What the hell are you supposed to launch water balloons at if not people?

2) Jobs told Motorola "It will be great in 2 years when we won't be using thier chips". Why should Motorola work hard to help Jobs/Apple?
Apple has burned itself in the past, and will in the future....that has not changed.
