Ads featuring new Japanese PS3 spokesperson leek onto internet
32
Rather than just copy SCEA's smarmy spokesperson outright (like some companies have chosen to do), Sony Japan has settled upon a new mascot for its advertisements: a scallion. Or rather, several scallions, sharing a central ... bulb thingy. Fine, you caught us. We just don't know much about onions.

It's all about the negi negi ramen.
Super cute but also super Japanese. Also, death by excessive features makes the PS3 a bit of a braggart.
For those who want to know the first commercial has the green onion trying to compare what it can do compared to the PS3. It gets upset and they have some back and forth bantering between things the green onion (negi) can make and the things a PS3 can do.
Second commercial shows the hot Japanese secretary giving the green onion water because he requests it, this is to explain why the green onion slowly dies during the scene. The PS3 starts talking about features, the video cuts to a few minutes later and he's still talking and the green onion is dying. Cute and commercial. But odd. :D
But oddness is why the Japanese people create such fantastical things.

I wonder, if for the scallion, the video of the leeks being cut up is like porn, or watching someone get murdered?

Hahaha, I love how the scallion sprawls out even more at the end of the second one.

There I am, watching Top Chef, and a commercial break in so I queue up these videos. Both have the same commercial before them. Both also consist of commercials. I chose to watch 4 commercials during my commercial break.
I think I might have fallen for it, guys.

@DerickDBrown Use Mozilla and the Adblock Plus plugin. Best advice I could give anyone using the internet... I saw no ads other than the Japanese ones.

Same.
Along with every PS3 accessory there including the stand, selling my fat PS3 for a slim one, importing a green onion specifically from Japan, and place them beside each other just to imagine them arguing.
