Playstation ad tops CNN outrageous list

Sony's controversial Playstation ad tops CNN's list of the 14 most outrageous ads of 2005. From the article: "After some Catholic groups complained, Sony apologized for this Italian ad for its PlayStation game console, saying that 'the spirit of the message was misunderstood.' The tagline under the picture translates to 'Ten years of passion,' and the figure's crown of thorns shows the PlayStation logo."

Always difficult to misunderstand the "spirit" of an advertising message.
