Anyone who is anyone knows that Sony is an underhanded, plain-old shitty company that uses “controversy” to market their products. Their recent idea to promote God of War II, the decapitation of a goat, is probably the the lowest attempt at controversy thus far.
Electronics giant Sony has sparked a major row over animal cruelty and the ethics of the computer industry by using a freshly slaughtered goat to promote a violent video game.
The corpse of the decapitated animal was the centrepiece of a party to celebrate the launch of the God Of War II game for the company’s PlayStation 2 console.
When is Sony going to grow the fuck up with their marketing ideas. I can only imagine a board meeting at Sony Corp: “Uh… uh… why don’t we ’sacrifice’ a goat to promote God of War II … it’d be great.”
Next to their obviously racist advertisements, the white versus black PSP ads, and their just plain idiotic ads, the “cheaper than a girlfriend” ad for the PSP as well, Sony has really outdone themselves this year.
I find nothing wrong with the overtly violent game itself, but actually harming an innocent animal to promote it is not only ridiculous, but inhumanely cruel.
