Sony scouted out an unusual place to advertise its PlayStation Portable before the holidays: the side of an abandoned building in a gritty North Philadelphia neighborhood.

This new corporate marketing is popping up in several major cities. Unfortunately for Sony, people and public officials are not appreciating it.
