Sony explains God of War II "dead goat" party |
Ó
So Sony threw a promo party for the PlayStation 2 (PS2) title God of War II, and the party involved a dead goat. What now? Well, many people were disgusted because of the said stunt including critics and animal rights organizations. To be quite fair, here's Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) Director of Corporate Communications Nick Sharples had to say about the matter. According to Sharples, just to put any doubts away, the event did take place in Athens on March 1. According to him, around 20 European journalists were in attendance but no one was from the UK. The official then explained that the Official PlayStation Magazine (OPM) article was written by someone who wasn't present at the party and based his article on the invitation alone.
Furthermore, Sharples said that the event is being sensationalized especially with the focus being given to the picture which is unrepresentative of the event. He lamented that they already asked the editors of the magazine to remove the picture because it was quite inappropriate for its wider readership. Nick Sharples then commented about the dead goat,
Following the mainstream popularity of shows such as 'I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here' a series of challenges were set for the journalists. The 'warm entrails' referred to in the invitation and in the Mail on Sunday article was actually a meat soup, made to a traditional Greek recipe and served to attendees in china bowls direct from the caterers.
Accordingly, the event really did spark some ruckus with some reports mentioning that Sony let attendees to eat the soup direct from the body of the goat.

I Fink Dat Was Mean, If I Were A Goat Would U Kill Me, No, So There :/
Drinking the soup direct from the body of the goat? Kinda sounds gross to me.
Thats what you get from sony they make you eat soup from a goat. Poor goat was probably molested by sony before it died.
id @$%!in kill you then id spell your name on the floor with your organs but thats just me
this didn explain nothin
I can't be around a dead goat without getting an erection.
they complain about this yet, in america and britian they have shows like fear factor wear people have to eat animal *****es and baby chicks right from they're eggs (yes they really had to do that)
It sounded like a fun party. Nude chicks getting drunk with paint for clothing. NICE!
Ok But Im Not A Goat
how do we know that?!
"served to attendees in china bowls direct from the caterers" Im amazed, it seems you can write in English, but you really need to practice your READING skills.
NICE BOOBIES!!! yummy!!!!...ur right about fear factor though
So it explained something then...
You know the more you discuss and criticize this ad the more people notice the game. What's the end? More People know the game and BUY IT!!! So in the end, Sony reached what they intended...... think about this.... by the way: PETA SUCKS!!!!! ;) !!! EAT MEAT PEOPLE !!!
PEOPLE DYING for pointless things like roadside bombs and avoidable deaths. its a goat people eat dogs in china and nobody bats an eylid so i dont understand y people are so irate over this its only a goat
it was #%^@#$^ censored, put that picture back up you bastards.
it are only dogs, people in india might get a fit if they hear we eat cows X__X
Cuz Im Alive
carnal knowledge is kind of detrimental to the self. i wish i didnt have carnal knowledge. and dont like hearing.. and really i think we have ..as a society .. as people.. as who we are , what we are, we have lost our way.. there are no leaders.. they are leading us no where. not sony i mean .. specifically society as a whole. we dont GET the philosophy in the news of who we are and what we are .. were all greedy louts. and i hope this post is a *****ing hammer post to your head. .. ah i see .. subject is experiencingh defective abnormal be increase the dosage. subject will not be able to continue on this course of subject
why isnt there any pictures of the naked girls???? i can understand why you wouldn't show the goat... but come on.. their girls, and they are topless!!
J, your obviously an idiot and can't read yourself. "the event really did spark some ruckus with some reports mentioning that Sony let attendees to eat the soup direct from the body of the goat." Practice your own reading skills numb nuts.
Goats are alive too... Well except for the one at the party lol...
If you were a goat, I'd get a butcher to a$$ rape you, then slit your throat and serve tomato soup in the wound.
All they wanted is some goat soup and a good time. Why make such a big fuss about it.
Well even though it does say that, the key thing to focus on is "(...)some reports(...)". This means someone's friend's friend knows the senile great aunt of one of the atendees who said this was true. She also said she was Hitler.
lol roflcopter lmao lolz zing!
This whole issue pisses me off. First they sensor the chicks titties. Second a member of Daily-ASS hole News reports about it but wasn't even there at the event. QJ needs to apologize to their readers first by posting the original image un-sensored and enlarged and second by posting there responce to Daily-ASS hat News spacificaly to the individual reporter that reported about an event he didn't even attend. How can you be a creditable reporter from the outside looking in. Impossible! If QJ doesn't at least respond to one of these demands it proves how far they have their collective tails tucked between their legs. And now we get images of muppet goats, WFT!
dude, wtf, it said that some guy who read the invitation wrong said all of these things so don't be talking about SONY and goat eating =/ you people sicken me lol
i second that
Well, that's what Sony did, except they did it with "meat soup" and not "tomato soup". They did a$$ rape the goat first though, according to my very reliable sources!
You mean : !!!! EAT GOAT MEAT !!!!
