UPDATE: Meet The Douchebags Behind The Sony PSP Flog

We’re a day late and a dollar short to this story, but the forces of the internet outed a marketing company working for Sony for creating fake PSP blog.

The ps3do site says it’s written by “Charlie” who wants to get the parents of his friend, “Jeremy,” to buy “Jeremy” a PSP for Christmas. The domain name is registered to the Zipatoni marketing company.

In the video above, witness the dancing and rapping skills of Cousin Pete, supposedly one of the blogger’s cousins. Despite being 35 and having an empty loft to shoot his crumbelieavable marketing video in, he too wants his parents to buy him a PSP for Christmas.

Witness their friends Tomiwa & Jessie. When they’re not busy loudly ordering bottles of client’s middle-shelf vodkas, they enjoy wearing PSP shirts the bloggers made. Hey look, you can download the iron on here. Hey look, you can download this greeting card here. Hey look, you can download the lyrics to this hardcore video “our band” whipped up here.

Pretty pretty please, make us into a meme.

Congrats, douchebags, you’re a fucking meme. — BEN POPKEN
