In the name of all things stupid, Sony France thought it would be a great idea to market the PlayStation Vita by comparing the product to a four-breasted woman in a new advert.

This image of Barbie’s proportions on an actual human being has been floating around Twitter recently attracting renewed criticism of Barbie’s unrealistic body.

How many images do you think you’ve looked at so far today and without realizing the connection, felt less inclined to eat that lovely sandwich your stomach has been groaning for all morning? For every perfectly smooth-skinned celebrity you’ve seen in the latest beauty campaigns, are you edging closer towards buying an anti-wrinkle cream that [...]
