Sony video channel continues to amaze

Sony's YouTube channel is an unbelievable and slightly worrying shrine to how not to make corporate videos. I'm a big fan of Sony - but they really need to stick to making good quality TVs and solid consoles instead of trying to be hip and 'social'. In this case, it's just going make them look old and embarrassing, like your mate's parents when they dance at a wedding.

Exhibit A: Mylo video makes skateboarding look less fun than maths



Exhibit B: 'Behind the scenes' interview unveils Sony's secret weapons



Exhibit C: Anti-packaging skit makes us yearn for a clamshell comeback



Watching these makes me feel like I've slipped into a parallel universe. What are they thinking? Am I being unfair?

Oh. My. Word.

Reckon they get bullied by the big boys down the corridor who commissioned Fallon for the Bravia ads?
