Sony Promotional Image Shows Some Dangerous Behavior

Anyone notice the homo erotic themes of these Sony ads? There's this one with a hot naked guy in a bathtub and then there was the other one with the guy that had a thumb as a penis.

@gadam07: Unfortunately modern bathrooms would have a hard time electrocuting you with the GFI circuits that are built in to any electrical outlet in the bathroom or near the kitchen sink. That and the fact that this isn't plugged in means that the model is safe, the PSP is doomed.

@gadam07:
Death by embarrassment.

Boys that hot don't play PSP is the problem.

Jamie Smith

@CameraShoe_GitEmSteveDave: Because there are actually two guys in the tub?

KermityFrog

@Yanguang: looks like a bottle of shampooooo

@barwe: I watch it every once in awhile. It's like a palette cleanser. Wes Anderson makes some good movies.

@可愛い兎: That's the part of his brain that would have told him to wait until after the bath before grabbing his PSP.

Missing in Vlissingen

@Aztronot: 1-Never try and understand women. You cant. And how long are we talking? Unless its 3 or 4 inches long, I would say leave it alone. Its its longer than that, get yourself a job as one of the Geico cavemen.

a little battery like this in water is not dangerous. DC power provided by batteries is not dangerous in water.

If his PSP is plugged into an AC outlet, then you would have problems.

AdmNaismith

Damn...is it just me, or is there something just very, very WRONG about that picture? The ewwwwwww factor is pegging the meter.

@Mako: I read small appendage and stopped.

@Shamoononon, Vampire Grater: Wow. You two are really fixating.

i will play with him, haha..
seriously, i don't think you'll get electrocuted by a PSP.

eirrikr

@Curves: Little question: with chest hair, do you mean trimmed chest hair, or just the natural long chest hair? (p.s. I'm just trying to understand women my dear)

@ipodrulz: haha i was thinking the same thing

Holy shirt! a talking squirrel! 「Tayler」

@CameraShoe_GitEmSteveDave: I watched that film for the first time last week, spooky.

barwe

@Shamoononon, Vampire Grater: Margot hadn't left the bathroom for awhile, and took all of her guests there. Raleigh, her husband, was worried, so he called her (adopted) mother, Etheline, to find out what was wrong. If you haven't seen Royal Tenenbaums, watch it.

@Bon5ai: At least they're posting something. Better than nothing at all.

@my secret identity: That may sound wrong. Not that I have anything in there, it's just that I act like I have taken a tranquilizer...

Nothing to see here folks.

@DeusExMach: Man, similar predicaments ftl. I have a friend with super hairy legs and a perfectly hairless chest, whereas I have hair everywhere... and lots of it. ) :

It's been said that when I wake up, I look like a bear with a tranq dart in his ass.

@ipodrulz: Dangerous place to go with the PSPorn reference... LMAO

Since the very small amperage would be shorting across the battery terminal and not your chest, I think the chances of stopping your heart would be worse than winning the next huge multi-state lottery. It may only takee .015 amps to stop a heart, but it has to be travelling across your chest, or otherwise through your heart. In order to get that amperage through the body which is not a terrific conductor, you would need some decent amperage to pull that current. I know first hand from the horrible battery performance of the PSP, that this is no-where close to being a concern.

Mako

It would be nicer if the bubbles weren't in the way...

seizurelitezrfun

Hmm. I would play with his psp.

heart attack maybe? after wrecking his $200 PSP that he has to pay to his bank´s credit card in 60 months thus ending up paying $650 for his toy and using it only once

Miguel Henriquez

@CameraShoe_GitEmSteveDave: But why is she watching the other one take a bath? Or is she planning to conveniently fall to the right?

@DeusExMach: If eating shit puts hair on your chest, I think staying smooth would be the best.

@LouisJebber: Yes, water does not conduct electricity. However, as soon as you enter, it becomes salt water.

@Bon5ai: Too much partying over the 4th of July.
DUH!
Cut them some slack.

@MadCrazy: You should call the Wolf.

Yeh, the PSP (w/AC adapter) don't conduct enough juice to zap you. If you ever watch that show "Myth Buster", they out ruled that even a toaster "accidentally" dropped in a tub full of water won't kill a man. They might get a slight zap at the most. You'll be astonished at how much electricity you actually need to electrocute yourself. HOWEVER, if there is enough salt in the water, then that's a different question. Salt being a good conductor. Anyways, I wouldn't risk it none the less...

LouisJebber

Good he is already in bathtub, makes body disposal all the more easier.

*Head Shot*

Now if you will excuse me I need to go and get some NaOH, HCL and some industrial strength enzymes, not to mention a large chipper and some cement, goanna redo the drive ^_^

MadCrazy

@bagseed: W/e not much loss lol

venc

Etheline:Nor do I think it's very intelligent to keep an electric gadget on the edge of the bathtub.
Margot: I tied it to the radiator.
Etheline: Well, it can't be very good for your eyes.

@chrishannan: All I know is I wish I could keep listening to podcasts on a water proof ipod when I hit the shower. Trouble is where to keep it...

NurseDave

@可愛い兎: Ok...if you follow the link back to Kotaku then to their source, there's another photo there from the same shoot. It looks like they may have 'shopped the color/texture onto the window panes. They're all washed out in the other photo. They just didn't clean up the pic as well as they should have.

There's browser on that thing right? ;)

@Jestermeister: Mmmmmm, shit.

Slow news day for Gizmodo.

@可愛い兎: Ditto with the "aura" emanating from his left shoulder. Bad PS job?

@可愛い兎: Maybe just the angle of the shot? So it's got a clear path through his stubbly hair at that point.
Or a bad, and possibly unnecessary, 'shop?

@Shamoononon, Vampire Grater: Most do when they are warned before hand that photos will be involved.

bustedchain

@DeusExMach: They have products that could help you, you know. Oh, and my dad always told me that eating shit I don't like does some good, too.

Jestermeister

@Shamoononon, Vampire Grater: It's not half-there, it's not there at all, my chest has always been completely bald!

@Curves: I embrace it. It's the opposite sex who has to.

@Kaiser-Machead: It's too creepy old fashion for me.

@可愛い兎: Oooh, good eye.

OK, I love both the design of the windows, and that bath fixture.

Kaiser-Machead

I didn't know men took bubble bathes.

As usual, Nintendo > Sony:

@BuyingPowerTools_GitEmSteveDave: Embrace your inner yeti. Chest hair is sexy.

@Shamoononon, Vampire Grater: Alright, so I was just kidding.

@DeusExMach: That's one of the most disgusting things to see, a guy with half grown in stubble chest hair. Rather just see the hair.

@BuyingPowerTools_GitEmSteveDave: You and me both my friend, you and me both.

@rackley: they did a similar test on Mythbusters a couple years ago. It won't electrocute you, there's no way a PSP has enough voltage compared to a curling iron or toaster.

Talk about obsessed, when you can't even take a bath without putting your PSP down for a few minutes. =/

I just want to know why there is part of his upper left head missing?

可愛い兎

All I can say is, thank you for making sure there were lots of bubbles.

Hello Mister Walrus

This is why I always have the iPod out of the bathtub, to the side, instead of directly above the water.

BFKelleher

@Jestermeister: Either my sarcasm detector is on the fritz, or you're just trying to be a dick.

@DeusExMach: Riiight...cause guys aren't shaving their chests these days...

Jestermeister

@DeusExMach: Bastard. And here I am stuck w/hair everywhere. Except in the areas it's leaving, and getting refugee status. Like my hairline hair defecting to my ears.

@CameraShoe_GitEmSteveDave: Just the way the genetic cards were dealt. I have a similar pelt.

@Yanguang: hed be fine with the ac adapter too

bagseed

Wait,wait. How can this guy have legs/forearms that hairy, yet a chest so smooth? That just doesn't make sense.

@Cormier6083: Yeah, isn't that a PSP 2000? Why not start advertising the PSP Go? Just don't get it.

subryu

the article was just overrated

AXSLV2

very low dc voltage in a tube does not seem like a likely case for death. Well, maybe for the PSP.

Chuckygee

@Yanguang: I think it's body lotion. AXE bottles look somewhat like that.

Umm yeah, I doubt a PSP would electrocute you. IIRC it only takes about 10ma of DC to stop your heart, but for some reason it just doesn't seem likely...

rackley

@gadam07: I would assume he meant along with the a/c adapter.
Also, is that a lighter behind him?

@gadam07: I'm probably taking that too seriously...

That is a REALLY old photo.

Cormier6083

"a truly shocking death"
"he died.. a clean man"

I don't understand how you could die by dropping a small portable electronics device in the tub with you. Please explain.
