Before anyone tries to knock my faith, there is as much proof (arguably more) for the existence of the FSM as there is for any of the false 'gods' that so many heathens seem to worship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-34125479773963016272008-10-21T11:10:00.000+00:002008-10-21T11:10:00.000+00:00Except of course that it is not actually fear of o...Except of course that it is not actually fear of offending. Good manners has nothing to do with it. As you say,what they fear is being blamed or rather being sued.<BR/>If a tribunal with the power to enforce its verdicts were to review such games (etc) and to pronounce their authors immune to prosecution they wouldn't give a toss. It's not like it would affect the sales to their chosen demographic.MadOldBathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967065352710769776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-7169463772317311002008-10-21T10:46:00.000+00:002008-10-21T10:46:00.000+00:00That's a slightly misleading article by the Times,...That's a slightly misleading article by the Times, there, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>I mean, the indignation and objections stated in the headline and subheadline <I>only</I> exist there - all the article itself says is that the "lines from the Koran were reported by online player of the game during testing".<BR/><BR/>Though the <I>facts</I> of the situation might be more enlightening, that doesn't indicate to me actual objections, so much as a potential neurotic knee-jerk reaction by a well-meaning scaredy-cat, followed by a retarded and unnecessary act of pre-emptive supplication by Sony.<BR/><BR/>You're right about the worrying rise of this sort of thing, but it's worth noting that a lot more computer games have been banned or removed from sale because of the whinging of concerned mums, the headline whoring of government officials in response, and the cowardice of the entertainment industry, than by any Muslim objections.<BR/><BR/>And Islam isn't the only religion that has gotten in on the act in the last couple of years, either.<BR/><BR/>Stupid mainstream media and their stupid bad journalism.
