Sony headless chicken ad mocks French World Cup teamPARIS: Sony took a cheeky swipe at France's disastrous World Cup team Wednesday (23 June 2010) with a full-page newspaper ad for Playstation showing a cock with its head blown off above the words "Game Over."
The headless bird was a photomontage and "no animal was killed," noted the small print at the bottom of the ad on the back page of Liberation newspaper. Sony was not immediately available for comment on the ad. L'Equipe sports newspaper said last week that for failing to dump the national squad's coach Raymond Domenech, the French football badge should "no longer be the cock but the headless chicken." The players were due to fly back to a humiliated country that has largely written them off as spoiled millionaires led by an incompetent coach and unworthy of the blue jersey worn by the 1998 world champions.
