PSP Adverts – White bits

I came across this PlayStation Portable advert on the DLR this morning.

PSPAdvert-GF white bits

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):
