Sony slaughters a goat to sell GOWII (link NSFW)

Ummm....Uhhh....WOW, I have no words for this, I really have nothing to say.

Slaughter: Horror at Sony's depraved promotion stunt with decapitated goat
Edited because link was long and broken. –Mgmt

Seriously, this is not a joke? A slaughtered goat Sony? WTF were you thinking? I think this has put me off from buying God of War II along with anything else from Sony for a good long while.

sony sponsors giant roman orgy to sell caligula game

I mean seriously this link had better be some sort of joke because I am not really as big on the Animal Cruelty thing as a lot of people but this just reeks of moral incompetence.

I would think that was a joke article if it weren't the next logical step in Sony's advertising campaigns lately.

That poor goat. :(

"The Sony spokesman said the animal had not been slaughtered for the event but had been bought from a local butcher by the Greek company hired to stage the event."

So it was already dead to begin with, right? So it's not so much animal cruelty as it is bad taste...

[Andy]

VERY bad taste

Sony knows that killing goats sells Video Games.

But does Sony know that drinking goats blood is how you get power from the games?

Holy christ this kicks ass. The only crime here is that it wasn't on fire.

To be fair, I don't see why serving hamburgers at the event would have been much different except there would be disconnect between the meat actually having been an animal in that case, whereas here the shock and horror that dead animals are served as food, good heavens.

But one is a generally accepted meal and the other is a totally unecessary "shock" item that nourishes no one.

It was an ancient Greece theme party

They didn't just randomly say "hey you know what would make this party awesome? a DEAD GOAT"

[James]

it is the difference between harvesting wheat and running at each individual stalk screaming and laughing as you bring your scythe down upon it and then after it is dead you take it and you just start sniffing it with real deep breaths and then you breathe a contented sigh of relief and drool starts pouring from your mouth

same results but one is creepy as fuck
