Slaughter: Horror at Sony's depraved promotion stunt with decapitated goat
28.04.07Electronics giant Sony has sparked a major row over animal cruelty and the ethics of the computer industry by using a freshly slaughtered goat to promote a violent video game.
The corpse of the decapitated animal was the centrepiece of a party to celebrate the launch of the God Of War II game for the company's PlayStation 2 console.
Note: There is a picture that SHOULD be right here.. but its a picture of a guy and the goat... and a woman (if you do end up going to the link pay special attention to the woman's bikini for a suprised
)Guests at the event were even invited to reach inside the goat's still-warm carcass to eat offal from its stomach.
At the event, guests competed to see who could eat the most offal – procured elsewhere and intended to resemble the goat's intestines – from its stomach.
They also threw knives at targets and pulled live snakes from a pit with their bare hands.
Topless girls added to the louche atmosphere by dipping grapes into guests' mouths, while a male model portraying Kratos, the game's warrior hero, handed out garlands.The party features across two pages of the latest edition of the company's PlayStation magazine, which was due to hit newsstands on Tuesday but has already been sent to subscribers. (NOTE: I definitely nee to buy that magazine
lol)We have reproduced the spread – headlined Sony's Greek Orgy – here, but have pixellated the image to spare readers the sight of the goat's decapitated head hanging by a thread of tissue from its corpse, with blood dripping to the floor.
That Launch party sounds so awesome!!!

hahahahaha
Sony should know better....but at least it'll piss off Peta right?
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
If not for the headless goat, that sounds like kind of a fun party. Although, having a friend who lives on a goat farm desensitises me to this a little.
A dead goat doesn't care what you do to it, as long as it was killed before being decapitated no one should give a crap.
Now with 57.3% more flames!
Goats are eaten every day. They may not be the most popular form of meat but it is there. If they served goatmeat I don't think it would be any different. Just seems like a waste of a good animal, but it doesn't offend me or anything.
Sacrificed goat, though, very Greek

I think the intention was to have a Greek themed hedonistic party. The ancient Greeks were known to sacrifice animals to their gods, goats included.

Damn.. that makes me regret not playing God of War 1.. Ah well, nothing shows a good game like violence and topless ladies.
Edit: hehe, I like how they pull a Jack Thompson at the end of the article.
Well, that was disgusting. Seriously. No thanks, on both the "party" and the game.
animals were meant to be eaten. cut its F***ing head off and have at it. its no diff than buying your meat from the store except you dopnt have to see it as an animal when the skin is off. Guilt free eatting. and anything that pisses of PEATA is good. the only thing that would have been better is if the bikini chich was feeding people bloody strips of goat flesh while topless. now thats a party
nothing but hypocrites anyway www.petakillsanimals.com

I'm also looking foward to eating animals now that you said that's what they're meant for....*Looks for a tasty homo sapien*.

I'd be into cannibalism, except for, you know, diseases. Also some people are really dirty.
If you're a dude, and you eat another dude...is that gay? Or only certain parts? Cause the buttocks has got some choice cuts of meat on it, if you were going to eat a human.
The ass would be the first thing you'd eat. Predators who have to eat alot of their prey quickly usually go straight for the ass, because thats where the most meat is.
Ever wonder what sirloin is? Cow ass.
This reminds me of a question I once had. Lets say you wanted to eat a person who has HIV/AIDS. If you cooked the person all the way (so that they are well done, not medium and certainly not medium rare) and ate them, would you get it? These are the thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools (to quote George Carlin).
You should probably stay on the cautious side and eat girls (put up less of a fight), and you won't be accused of being gay.

only when tree huggin peta fanatics saw the article in the magazine... they went crazy about it....
The whole thing was as a play on the era that kratos lived in..... simple as that.... and I highly doubt the heads of Sony were involved in setting up a party for ONE game for the ps2....
Sonnds like you just got a big sony hate chip on your shoulder
