But wait, there’s more!

It would appear that there was a second advertisement released simultaneously with the one pictured in this article.

In this advertisement, a black woman is violently throttling a white woman, as opposed to the more popular one, which features a white woman threatening a black woman. Many news sites aren’t even mentioning the existence of this companion advertisement. I found it posted on a messageboard by a Dutch member who took the photo himself.

These advertisements have been causing quite an uproar, with many chapters of the NAACP, and even a senator, filing formal complaints against Sony. The avertising campaign was intended for release only in the Netherlands.
