  I just wanted to actual official ones shared!

  This one is not official, it was done by a girl called shysmith, she just tried her best to make a photo in the ‘style’ of the old Y2K era, and the days of PS2 ads and…everyone ended up believing it was real. She did such an amazing job of it, this one often gets shared as if it were done for Sony.

    Heh this post blew my mind twice in one package: I was definitely one of those that believed it was a real ad. I distinctly remember some discussions about the serialized nature of it or not. So as you said, super well done.

    But secondly, the official ad you posted instead has three nipples at once? And one male two female on top? That almost seems weirder to me.

    Are you sure? That’s just a nude girl in the background. Where are they getting away with that?

      France did the ‘panties’ ads, there were three of them all up.

      You can find them here

      This one from Chile has exposed breasts, also. And far more obvious to the viewer
