I have no idea how Sony thought they'd get away with this. I mean. Really.

People are much too bored to bother with reacting to this.
1. If we aren't meant to eat animals, why are they made of meat?
2. Eating goat from it's lukewarm carcass goes with the theme.
3. If you're offended, don't buy the game, there's a perfectly good barbie game right next to it.

Did you actually read what happened, Tele? It's disgusting. They weren't far away from a full on satanic ritual.

What's wrong with satanism?
Look, they've harmed no one but the goddamn un-sapient goat, what's the problem with that beside them being Sony and you being a goddamn Nintendo fanboy?

No I didn't read, but I don't care all that much.
I'm convinced it's stupid beyond measure, but it doesn't really harm anyone, save the goat. But there are tons of worse eating-related things done in public.
Allow me to list one.
Swedish pickled herring (for those of you who know of it you'll understand what I mean)

It's not that I'm personally offended, Tele. I actually think it's kind of funny. But Sony should've known they couldn't get away with this, it's offensive to too much of the oversensitive populace.

It's a dumbass move on Sony's part, which as a multi-national business should have known better.

Yeah, saw this a few days ago, I'm also surprised Sony did this. Of course, with all the trouble that Sony is having selling games and units, maybe the execs thought a Satanic ritual wouldn't be such a bad idea to get the big red guy to pull a few strings for them.
I guess this also pretty much assures that no one from PETA will be playing Gods of War 2.

Well I think it's been made clear that Sony is composed of mostly fuckwits...

I personally think this is incredibly awesome, stupid, but awesome. I feel that people are overreacting, you can see worse things in almost every Holiwood movie out there.
Still, this stunt is probably going to hurt PS3 sales, and I don't think they can take much more hurting.

PETA will go nuts, they attacked some guy for killing a bear with his pocket-knife in self-defence so how'll they react to this is going to be pretty interesting.

Yeah, I'm sure God of War 2 sales are really hurting considering that PETA(a terrorist group that would normally never play God of War 2) won't ever play God of War 2
