Sensitive Fireman Wants To Sell Your Mom PlayStation Move
You remember in A Christmas Story when Ralphie places an ad for his desired Christmas present into his mom's favorite magazine to drop a hint? Times have changed, and clipping out ads from the Sunday paper just doesn't cut it in this technological age. How do you really grab the attention of the ladies in your life? Show them a sweaty, dirty, affectionate, sincere fireman and pack him with a PlayStation Move to peddle.
In an advertising move that can only be compared to the atomic bomb, Sony gives hopeful PlayStation the power of unbridled manliness balanced with a vulnerable side to convince their grandmas, girlfriends, or mothers that they need to buy Move. Head over to the site to create your custom video which can be set in areas like the mall or a day spa. Even add a picture of yourself to the smoldering and gushy note the fireman reads.
According to Sensitive Fireman, PlayStation Move "turns your house into a home, then back into a house... filled with people... who are happy to be home... together."
Keep up the silly, Sony.

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
