Are Sony trying to self destruct?

If there was a grand league of making PR disasters, Sony would actually have the edge on Prince Phillip at the moment.
Not content with the last viral disaster, involving a blog so unbelievable and obvious is was spotted and flamed within seconds, they've gone and topped it with an even bigger disaster.

See if you can spot what they did:

Sweet Lord, that's a mistake and a half in every pixel. I'm looking forward to hearing the explanation...

For more mockery, see http://www.aeropause.com/archives/2007/01/yet_another_muf.php.

And bear in mind that there is also a backlash about the cost of the PS3 (particularly in Europe), and a growing disatisfaction with the PSP.

I'm sorry. I need to go and lay down for a bit because my sides are hurting. Can I humbly suggest to Sony that they hire me as their Head of Marketing and Advertising, as I can actually play games and write blogs?
