PSP Adverts – White bits
Mar 1st, 2006 | By TheFluffyFist | Category: News, PSPI came across this PlayStation Portable advert on the DLR this morning.
It’s one in a series of PSP advertisements that have been appearing around London recently. I was with my girlfirend at the time and the conversation went something like this:
Me: “Ooooh…PSP advert” :-)
Girlfriend: “I don’t get it…”
Me: “Instead of white think naughty”
Girlfriend: “Oh!”
Girlfriend: ***Smack!***
Me: “Hehe” ;-) **Snigger**
See, the PSP is not just for games…
There’s a whole load of these ads around at the moment (click the images to see large versions on Weefz’s Flickr account):

[...] Y éste último estaba ni más ni menos que al lado de una vÃa de metro. ¿Incitando a la peña a saltar? Sony, Sony… ¿no ves que si lo hacen vas a perder un cliente? Aquà podeis ver todos los anuncios. ¿Os parece que se han pasado con la campaña? Pues a mà me gusta bastante más que la de los graffitis de USA. [...]
To 1 and 2 – it’s supposed to be a joke! White bits refer to the untanned regions after a sunbathe. Perhaps this is only a British saying?

Cleaver – I think it’s British blokey slang since quite a few British girls haven’t heard it either. I’m not a Brit but the closest expression I’ve heard is “pink bits” which is a probably bit too unsubtle for public advertising.
