thing is since no one knows what muhammad looks like you can just make it a giant DICK. since that's how they're acting...
It was actually a Christian organization that notified Nintendo about the Muslim lyrics that forced NOA to redo the translation. I played the Gold Version of the game and I personally felt the background music fit perfectly well, but the new one, was just too mediocre.
Whoever licensed them that track is in serious legal trouble. Expect a bill for a half million copies of LBP
someone also found the mirror shield to offend middle eastern religion and so the gamecube version has some pirate shit on it.
I think LBP is a glorified cutesy physics sim. I might get it when its cheaper and if I decide to get a PS3 at all.
Yeah it's certainly one of those "don't knock it till you've tried it" games. Even though the $22 shipping was ass rape, it was worth every penny.
Well, I see those so-called offending things like porn. Since porn excites people whether it is in a positive way, or it is in a negative way. And the last I heard something(in TV), then if an infidel reads and says something from the koran. Then the infidel shall die. And if you ask me, then I am just fucking tired of that bullshit they are always shouting about . Jesus Fucking Christ, it is not even the 12 Mohammed drawings, so if you ask me, then it is beginning to be mentally idiotic when it comes to them. Can you imagine if some Christian organisation went ballistic over the song Kumbaya was being played in a game ? that organisation would be a laughing stock, but since it is the Muslims, then we all shall shake our pants . And "we should not offend them, since then we will be the targets , like the Danish troops are in Afghanistan , thanks to the Mohammed drawings". Give me a fucking break, sorry if I sound damn racist, or angry. I am neither, I am just tired like any one else, whether it is the drawings or something else. That seems to offend them.
A lot of you are looking at this in the wrong way. Sony aren't doing this because of terrorism. They're doing this because the Sony brand is popular in Muslim nations. Loosing even a percentage of their hard earned corporate image among that populace would probably ultimately cost them far more then a recall. It's business not ethical responsibility.
That is true, from the grand industry´s perspective. Since they will loose money, just like all the Danish industries did after the 12 picture crisis. And they haven´t made up for it since. But then again I just don´t seem to think it is always A OK that is always one fraction of the world. That will control the rest, whether it is industry or the opposite. But then again I don´t really give a toss about it any more because it is the usual in the long run. I mean, after 9/11 then you can´t do this, you can´t do that. And quite a few games has been cancelled because of the terrible incident. But I am tired that everything goes haywire the other way every time we do something our way. And not their way. I mean, the simcity disaster was altered , because of 9/11. When the game was older than the incident. So do you know what ? I don´t give a toss. let them have their fit, and that is it then.
I agree with WDK. It's bullshit. However as I stated - I can see why they would get mad. But SHUT THE FUCK UP. Seriously. When i hear Christians bitch - I wish they would shut the fuck up. When I hear Catholics bitch, All I can say is "shut the fuck up". When Muslims bitch, shut. the. fuck. Up. DEAL WITH IT. Not everyone shares your views. I'm an Athiest, and My old boss would always try to convert me until one day I said "Christa, You're a devout Christian and that's ok. I respect that. And I don't try to tell you there is no such thing as God, or that you are silly to believe that. So please, respect my opinion that there is no God, and stop trying to tell me there is." If the world would just accept that not everyone views things the same, and if you are offended by it - don't look at it or listen to it or whatever or HELL - SUCK IT UP. AND DEAL WITH IT. It's just ridiculous - people need to learn to roll with the punches.
Sir, I believe there is a God, but I am not going to shove it down in anyone´s throat. Because it is not a part of my nature. My sister is an atheist, and she is both baptised and had her confirmation, but that doesn´t make her more Christian than me. And well, I am not a Christian in the modern sense, of so many things that could make this thread go offtopic , in the on topic area. But what I wanted to say is, I agree with you all the way. Of what you just said.
I know. I was agreeing with you. I was not saying you shove it in people's throat. I was agreeing with you, and explaining my stance on religion and I think you can worship jesus, buddah, allah, ra, vishnu, the flying spaghetti monster...doesn't matter to me. Do it and don't tell me I'm wrong and I won't tell you you're wrong.
But then again noone ever changes anything because Christians complain. If Christians started to bomb people for bullshit reasons maybe they would.
They should. Because of some guy in Denmark who draw muhammed, they burned down the Danish embassy. The fact that they also burned down the Norwegian and Swedish embassy (who were innocent in the situation) who were in the same building didn't stop them.
