Gamers Vent PlayStation Frustration With Parody Ads

RENEE MONTAGNE, Host:

Unidentified Man #1: Thanks for coming.

(SOUNDBITE OF COMMERCIAL)

MONTAGNE: Okay, so now it's the gamers themselves who've been feeling ignored, as you can tell from this parody posted by Joe Hagofski on YouTube.

(SOUNDBITE OF YOUTUBE VIDEO)

JOE HAGOFSKI: Unidentified Man #1: Okay. Oh. Okay, hold on.

(SOUNDBITE OF A CRASH)

MONTAGNE: In another parody, this one by Leonardo Arrieta, that fictional Sony executive is reluctant to admit the network was compromised.

(SOUNDBITE OF VIDEO)

LEONARDO ARRIETA: I read an article saying that someone hacked the PlayStation network.

MONTAGNE: You can't believe everything you read on the Internet. That's how World War I got started.

MONTAGNE: This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
