Sony has been accused of demeaning women and pandering to the sleaziest urges of teenage boys with a new advert comparing playing video games to masturbation.

The online clip, reportedly published to Sony Europe's YouTube channel on Friday, features an attractive woman dressed as a doctor who gives an entire monologue of double entendres.

'I know you've already done it today, and I bet you really enjoyed yourself,' says the woman, who for the purposes of this promotional fantasy is identified as Dr Grace Powels.

She pulls off her spectacles, pouts, leans into the camera and breathes: 'How many times did you do it yesterday? Are you afraid you're doing it too often?

'In the bedroom under your blankets? Or perhaps you prefer the kitchen or in the toilet? Or do you like it out in the garden?' she continues, climbing onto her desk as close-up shots focus on her full lips.

'You no longer have to feel ashamed. Everybody's doing it, because it's fantastic. And now you can keep going all day long. Don't you like that? You don't even need to stop. And if you want to, you could even join me.'

I am sorry, but if thats demeaning women then i am the king of Kashmir, what do you guys think?

Seems to me the media and Squeaky clean do gooders will jump on every opportunity they can grab to sully the gaming industry with there hyperbolic, sensationalist Bollocks.

i thought it was rather clever but thats just me,lol

It wouldn't surprise me if a small child playing with his all male friends in a tree house wasn't called a sexist asshole at this point.

According to 3rd wave feminism and SJW's, everything is demeaning to women. Granted the actual ad is a bit lame, but it's fairly innocent in the grand scheme of things.

i thought the advert was quite clever, Draws you in then BAM......PSvita

That ad sounds like something straight out of the 90s. Never mind being misogynistic or whatever the ****, it's just plain outdated and stupid lol.

Oh, I remember that ad. I thought it was pretty funny.

Then again, I'm not a drama queen so I don't get offended by such trivial things.

We're on an internet forum about games, I'd hazard a guess that life is pretty boring for all of us here, sometimes.

Can confirm. Eagerly waiting for greatness on the PS4.

There it is, people are too easily offended these days , they call things like this news, thousands of people die around the world every day from conflict and starvation and people are offended by something like this? Crazy.

You're welcome OP, now your thread is a little less shit.

If it's so shit why did you bother posting?

And i linked to a news story about it, so what if i didn't link to the actual video, was it so much hard work to go find it yourself?

Someone help me out; how is this demeaning to women and not to "sleazy .. teenage boys"?

Ah, **** it. Everything is a scandal to the media nowadays, right?
Remember the 360 "jump in" commercial with the imaginary guns that had to be pulled off TV because it was promoting violence? Same BS.
