    Part of me is going "WTF Sony?"

    But the other part of me thinks that having an ancient style animal sacrifice at a party related to a game set in an ancient mythos is pretty damn cool. I'm just not so sure if the ancient Greeks actually ate stuff from raw goats. It's one thing to do something crazy to do in modern times to try to emulate older times, it's another to do it just for Acclaim style shock value.

    You hear that?

    That's the sound of Jack Thompson's dicks - all of them cumming.

    damnit, you beat me.

    Thanks a heap Sony, as if we didn't need more ammunition against the gamer industry.

    Though how dare you even imply that Thompson has a dick, much less multiple

    I suppose it's a good thing God of War wasn't based on Aztec mythology.

    Which I think might be bullshit, because they said the goat was still warm.

    Did they, like, hire a butcher to do it at the party?

    sony needs to fire everyone in their marketing department, right now. honestly, how STUPID are they. im not debating the cruelty of animals or watever, but in terms of just the plain marketing of it, seriously, this is just bad taste. yeah god of wars violent, but hah, wouldnt be suprised if this stunt actually PUTS OFF people from playing the game, like violent videogames or not, outta the sheer, just, retarded over the topness of this. same with their shitty psp and ps3 commercials and ad campaigns, none of them even make sense. not to mention, its GOD OF WAR 2, the game fucking sells ITSELF. how stupid are they, honestly, cant think of an efficient enough marketing idea that they gotta go for shock effect? and i thought the alliwantforchristmasisapsp thing was as stupid as it got, but i guess theyve proven me wrong. i shake my head at you sony, shame on you.

    Sony was encouraging them to eat offal they stored in the goat's stomach beforehand

    Now, I didn't know what offal was, so I wiki'd it. I kinda wish I hadn't.

    They stuck animal entrails in to the goat's stomach and asked people to eat them.

    I wouldn't say that. It's just a marketing stunt for a PS2 game. On paper it sounds really clever. In reality it's just not as cool as it sounds.

    Europe is generally cool with the fact that women have breasts. Exposed body-part prudishness is much more an American thing.

    England: Breasts = OK, Decapitated goat carcass = Not so much


    What I find remarkable is that pictures of the goat party went into an official PS magazine uncensored. They reveled in it!
