Definitely not rooting for that hoity toity Pekingese, that's for damn sure. #Westminster
I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.
The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?
Things I won't miss about being a freelancer: incorrectly estimating my taxes and owing a ton of cash at the end of the year.

Because Catholics and Mormons don't blow stuff up, or cut off people's heads. This country is rejecting GOD, and I am afraid HE will soon reject this country. I let you know for sure after November 4th.

Why worry about offending the Muslims again? They aren't going to buy or play any games on Play Station. What a crock of bull. The Muslims are offending me. What can I do about it?

What, the Qur'an doesn't say anything about forgiving your neighbor of his tresspasses. Come on now..... How long are we going to cater to every religions complaints. Esp one that has been killing people all over the world. And we are worried we might upset them. Tell them to complain to their 40 virgins who might be willing to listen to them.

To be fair to Sony, they did learn from their mistake with the Fall of Man fiasco.
Its amazing how blindingly narrow-minded and bigoted some of the above comments are, and I'm ashamed to be a registered user when people like some of those above are also using this service.

"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical
liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a
turd
by the clean end."

Normally I'd have very little sympathy for the complainers in this case, since we've heard such complaints many times seemingly reflecting a over-sensitive, chip-on-shoulder attitude.
However, Sony has a history here. In Italy they produced an ad with a Christ-like figure, only with the Crown of Thorns being the four PlayStation button symbols. In the Netherlands they did an ad campaign for the white PSP showing black and white female models dominating and humiliating each other.
It's not just being racially or religiously offensive; Sony's PS ads have often been bizarre, confusing, and irrelevant to the features and merits of their systems. They've even stooped to vandalism (corporate sponsored graffiti) and lying (the fake-fan "All I Want for Christmas is a PSP" blog).
They really really need to fire their ad agency, or their entire advertising division.

Everybody needs to wake up. I admire Sony for any ridiculing of religion, intended or not. Nobody has the balls anymore to point out how absolutely stupid religion is. It's all lies and stories meant to control and cause fear.
Don't be scared, grow up. Become aware. Become one people.
