PSP graffiti appears on Tonight Show

Last night, while channel surfing, I came across "The Tonight Show." The title screen shown just before "The Tonight Show" went to commercials had the infamous PSP graffiti that Sony used to advertise the system some time ago. I'm not sure if this occurrence was just by chance and "The Tonight Show" just liked the image, or if this is subliminal advertising set up by Sony. While I have no proof either way, my instincts lean towards it being planned by Sony. After all, I doubt they got their money's worth on these graffiti ads originally.

Hope Tats Cru is still getting some coin on that.

Hope the person that designed that as a marketing idea was shot.
Looks like sony put a 5 year old in charge of their marketing.

Not sure who came up with the concept but the artists themselves are A+...
Alot of large commercial companies have used them.

I can almost 100% guarantee that they didnt see the PSP as a skateboard. If they knew about it before hand, Sony had their dirty little fingers in it, but... otherwise, this was accidental and awesome.

I bet they didn't even notice that it was a PSP...some graphics person probably that it really was a skateboard and just used it. But if this is Sony's doing...very creepy.

I just wrote to Tats Cru...although they did the actual drawings in the wild the artwork itself was given to them by Sony. I'd guess then that Sony would oversee the placement at the Tonight Show.
