New PS3 Ads - selling what?

I just don't get it. Help me out here. Below is a picture of a gamer giving blood (life?) to Rommel (The Dessert Fox). He is considered a good Nazi, but come-on! What is the message here? I think this is a picture of a gamer giving his heart (again, life?) to Joan of Arc. Did they just want to pick a girl warrior?
It is fun to look at the other images around the main characters. See the mouse in the corner.
Please, give my your impressions.

I really don't see any message; it's probably another daft attempt at using controversy to create publicity.

IF there is a message (and this is a stretch), perhaps they are trying to communicate how your relate to the game characters you play, i.e. they cannot exist without you - the player. Your actions keep them alive.
