All I want for Xmas is the return of the PSP hoax site

Remember Sony's high-larious faux blog All I Want for Xmas is a PSP? The site was ridiculed, investigated, ridiculed some more, and then quietly removed (site and video). End of story, right? Wrong!
The Consumerist, in their infinite wisdom and generosity, uploaded the entire website -- videos and all -- onto their own servers. It looks like Christmas has come early, huzzah!

What a terrible website. The funniest part is that it's supposed to look like it was written by a little kid and in between all the l33t speak and pwnage, it has perfect grammar. and that logo? what, like some kid is gonna make that?
I don't understand if "charlie" is supposed to be a "kiddie", a gangster, or what they're trying to portray.. they somehow managed to include them all and alienate them all. Hey, kind of like PSP..

Completely intentional Evil Ash reference. Thanks for getting it, you make my heart all warm and fuzzy inside.

I own and love my DS, but Sony's PSP is a sleek looking powerful system. That said, this website tells a lot.
First of all, it completely destroys the pro-Sony side of the argument "Nintendo is for kids but Sony is for adults!" The target audience of this website is clearly children.
Second, anyone who owns a PSP should be completely offended by this website. Actual quotes with the original spelling:
"so we started clowning with sum not-so-subtle hints to j's parents that a psp would be teh perfect gift."
"you advertize. they recognize!"
"stick this ad in your girl's vogue cosmo people who live real simple or your dad's national maxim geographic sports for men. whoever, they'll get the point."
"now brace yourself 4 the metal madness!"
I would be offended and embarrassed to own a product by a company that thought I was a complete moron. Basically Sony is saying "People who buy our products are stupid male children who read celebrity gossip magazines and cannot spell. If you own and love the PSP then you must be an idiot too."

Hasn't microsoft done the same? A Japanese blog with schoolgirls saying they love the 360? I remember reading something about that

The lady under the "don't just wear it pwn(sic) it!"
looks like she is at least 40 years old.

oh, $ony should've realised that the internet has a very long memory, and just pulling the website and video isn't going to do any good, scince this garbage gets reposted and rediculed by many, many people. :D
