it's going to be more than one person getting fired. these things don't happen because of one person. there had to be at least a dozen different people look at the plans for this "party" before it happened. how could not one of them realize how incredibly horrible the idea was?
how far are people going to go just to promote a video game?
Did they even need to promote this game that badly anyways? I mean GoW 1 was one of the best selling PS2 games, I still just don't get why they did this...
This is almost surreal. I can't believe a major corporation like Sony would condone something like this. What does eating out of a freshly decapitated goat have to do with selling God of War?! And then gloating about in a magazine afterwards? Weird...
Sony: New found advocates of pagan slaughter!
I wonder if Sony will be written into the New New Testament now.
Rofl. I love Sony. Love them a lot.
I saw the picture and it is pretty sick. I just don't get it. Sony needs to basically fire anyone who speaks or does anything for them because they all seem to be morons.
rofl whut?
Slaughtered Goats, Live Snakes and Topless Girls.
This doesn't sound like Sony..
This doesn't sound like Sony at all!
This is horrible! Mana, you should post the link to the picture for those who can bare to see it.
(I dont have a problem with the topless girls)
I'm afraid that the picture I saw didn't have any topless girls. Just the goat.
The picture is in the source link.
Woah, different pic then the one I saw. I do see the topless girl now but where did the goat go? Oh wait, I see him at of the corner of my eye.
Wow that is pretty gruesome. Mana, post the link to your pic. (even it doesnt have topless women.)
It's basically the same pic as Kindrik's pic minus the topless girl. They just zoomed in close enough so that the topless girl was cut out and you couldn't see the guy's face. Booooooo to them. How could they cut out the best part???
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Greece has long been past it's polytheistic days. I don't care if they did replace the intestines with offal (BTW, what is offal?), that is just disgusting. How could they even THINK of doing something as gruesome as this? I hope you're happy, Sony; you just sent a head trauma to many young fans.
*doesn't even want to see the topless girl now*
Well the good news is that Offal is actually a food.
The bad news is that "Offal is the entrails and internal organs of a butchered animal. The word does not refer to a particular list of organs, but includes most internal organs other than muscles or bones." - wiki
Still just as bad.
I don't think the whole Offal thing has anything to do with it being bad. The whole thing was in very bad taste. In the past, Sony as a whole has tried to push the limits on advertising and they've gone too far this time...
lol. just another nail in the coffin.
This is just sickening; this is even mre sickening then Sony's game commercials especially the PS3 ones!!!!! Blah!
Agreed. Killing an innocent life to promote a game just because sony knows their system sucks compared to the wii sales wise and they thought cruelty like this would help them. IMHO, something should be done to ensure that this will not happen again and that Sony recieve some sort of penalty.
I realize this whole thing is gross, but the animal was purchased from a butcher. I wonder how many meat eaters have posted such disgust over this whole thing.
I mean it's not cool to take an already dead animal and use it in a promotion, but we can go to fast food places and eat cattle all day long...let's show a little perspective here.
