PSP ads continue to entertain and perplex

I love quirky foreign commercials as much as the next guy, but this one is semi-disturbing. Most commercials try to make you believe that using the advertised product will make you famous or rich or attractive or all of the above. Bucking that feel-good product association, Sony goes against the grain and shows a PSP owner going through an involuntary and violent metamorphisis into F1 racing legend Fernando Alonso. Creepy. And what's with the PS2 logo at the end?

This is a translation for that ad:
There is only one way to turn yourself into Fernando Alonso. F1 Grand Prix, only for PSP.
As some of you may already have seen, Fernando Alonso is a Spanish F1 racer. I think the PS2 logo is used as, I don't know, brand marketing.
Cool ad, by the way.
