Sony Pulls Ads After Public Rebuke

Those following the recent Sony race controversy might want to know that Sony has issued a public apology.

The apology comes by way of Nick Sharples, the Director of Corporate Communications of Sony Europe:

"We... recognize that people have a wide variety of perceptions about such imagery and we wish to apologize to those who perceived the advert differently to that intended. In future, we will apply greater sensitivity in our selection of campaign imagery, and will take due account of the increasingly global reach of such local adverts, and their potential impact in other countries."

*Rukh puts a tick in the "Sony is falling into a pit of stupidity and dispair" chart in the "Might recover" section, the first tick in that section. The "dead within a few years" section has aprox 349712 ticks in it.
