[Updated: Dec 15, 2006 @ 3:30 am] Looks like the plug has been pulled on the blog and the whole site's been deleted. 

What is it with PR companies and fake blogs?  They're so desperate to join in with the rest of the blogosphere that honesty goes completely out of the window.

The latest company (Edelman and Wal-Mart know all about fake blogs) to front a fake blog is Sony with All I Want For Xmas is a PSP, run by ad company ZIPATONI.  Here's the first post, which will give you a feel for the blog:

i (charlie) have a psp. my friend jeremy does not. but he wants one this year for xmas.

so we started clowning with sum not-so-subtle hints to j's parents that a psp would be teh perfect gift. we created this site to spread the luv to those like j who want a psp!

consider us your own personal psp hype machine, here to help you wage a holiday assault on ur parents, girl, granny, boss – whoever – so they know what you really want.

we'll let you know how it works for us. pls return the favor.

more to come,
c&j.

What's really sad about this blog is that the visitors have already figured out that it's a fake blog and make this know through comments.  What's pathetic is that the people behind the blog are still denying the fact with comments such as this gem:

yo where all u hatas com from... juz cuz you aint feelin the flow of PSP dun mean its sum mad faek website or summ... youall be trippin.

Makes me cringe to read that.
