Bizarre Spanish PS3 ad surfaces

Let's get the morning going (well, it's morning where I am) with a bit of outright weirdness.

Everybody remember the mind-warping "Third Place" ads that accompanied the launch of the PlayStation 2? Seems Sony's marketing department has been working a few too many late nights once again - try this recent Spanish PlayStation 3 advert on for size.

A girl is shown standing inside layers of chubby men, much like the smallest figurine in one of those Russian china doll thingies.

We're not sure what to make of this. "Buried inside every fat bloke is a skinny Spanish babe crying to get out?" Share your interpretations in the comments thread below.

    I just dont get it... maybe its a dig at microsoft in a very unrelated strange kinda way... 'we may be bulky... but inside we are beautiful'  ahh i dont know, the woman is fit tho ;-)

    Multi-layered, layers are hard working sweaty machines? products of years of labour? but at it's heart, it's a pure, youthful, beautiful core.. not really what you would expect to find anway, especially under all those layers.. lol

    My take on it would be along the lines.

    You dont have to be the sterotypical gamer (which however wrong it is, every one assumes is a Fat guygeek ) to play the ps3

    It may have something to do with Sony/Toshiba shrinking the Cell to 45nm and a 'slim' PS3 - but I'd have thought it's way too early to start advertising that.

    Agree with the others here. Since the system is seen as clunky and awkward, they want to say its what's inside that counts. Worthy of Salvador Dali, it depicts perfection emerging from what has been described as a massive ugly creature.
