Sony Hacker Group Anonymous Boycotts: Sony Store Sit-ins

Earlier in the week we were told via ominous video messages that members of the infamous Sony hacking group Anonymous would descend on Sony Centers across the planet and show Sony Anonymous' true power over the final result over the Geohot/Sony settlement from earlier this week. But so far there have been no mass protests, no violent clashes with police, just a slightly infuriated Manchester store manager.

Did anybody REALLY expect these guys to pull off anything big? I knew this was going to happen from the beginning, it's still funny though :lol: but that won't stop Anonymous from inflating their big ego and that won't make them go away

Why is that tub of lard dressed exactly like the woman on the right? :?
Not so anymous anymore huh?

lmao what a bunch of pathetic nerds

Oh wow, they closed one store!!11:o

Lol, they stopped, what?, maybe the sale of five PS3s, they'll just buy them from a different place or at another time, lol Anon is a failure and wasting it's time.

They're probably still asleep or at home posting on /b/ about how successful their protest was, or worse.... playing KZ3. :lol: MrSelf-Destruct

Bites The Dust.

A Guy Fawkes mask? Really?

They might as well dressed up like Batman.... it has as much relevance. :roll:

The fat guy is watching one of the Sony TVs. That's probably not the most effective way to boycott them.

That mask was probably made in China...... :P

wow, I really am getting annoyed with this group anonymous. They are gutless, sure they do have some power and I'm sure there are smart people in the group. The thing is they seem more about promting the group than actually standing up for any real cause or purpose. I mean if they are the rebels they want to be they wouldn't be anonymous they would have the balls to stand up portest, show their faces and actually make a statement about what they stand for, and accept the consequences of their actions just to make their point thats what really would gain them respect. attacking corporations from the shadows of the internet just creates an excuse to label them mischief makes with no real purpose and for them to be marginalized. really a sit in to hurt sony? it really reeks of immaturity, seems to me that the group is made up of intelligent people who have yet to mature to understand the real world. Defending geohotz is really stupid, he broke the law, he broke the end user agreement and sony pursued him in the legal system to which they had every right to do. if you don't agree with the wording of that agreement thats up to you but sony is not the only company to employ such terms just the one who aggresively defended it.

The business world is really cut-throat, Sony has in the past been on both the giving and recieving end of the justice system. if sony did anything illegal make a case and prove it otherwise being a nuisance on the internet doesn't help consumers just annoy them and accomplishes nothing but to inflate their immature ego by them saying to themselvers "look what we did".

this whole thing is probably a diverson, seeing how the 19th is a tuesday and on tuesdays the psn store is updated

i love how they use the mask from v for vendetta, a movie for which sony is a distributor... maybe this is all just a viral marketing campaign by sony for a v for vendetta sequel? haha.

hehe those masks look funny. :P
