Sony has put together a series of billboards for the PSP featuring a white woman dressed in white fighting it out with a black woman dressed in black. I'm not sure how that's supposed to sell PSP's, but at least they're offending a whole bunch of people. And really, isn't offending an entire group of people the same as selling a portable gaming console? It sure is. More shots of the different ads after the jump.

Someone needed to fire that ad campaign manager ASAP. This is beyond laughable.

Beyond laughable? Waaah! People are so easily offended.

What if it were images of Spy V. Spy? Would people have their panties in a twist then?
