Yesterday PETA posted some thoughts on the infamous guest Sony had at it's God of War release party and let's just say they were not all that ecstatic about it (I believe there was a string of alphabet letters better known as, "OMFGWTF", made it into a sentence). Obviously, being PETA, they were alarmed at to what lengths a company would go to in order to promote a game:

I've always sided with the video game industry against the Jack Thompsons of this world who are out to make a name for themselves by blaming gamers for all of society's problems, but when a company of Sony's stature goes out of its way to commit an act of senseless violence for a promotion, you have to start questioning whether they have any concern at all about the message they're sending to fans.

I have to applaud PETA's statement for not clumping all gamers into a category that enjoys senseless violence both inside and outside video games. Some of us love fluffy little goats too and like seeing them on an old hillside every once and awhile (alive, mind you). Kim Phu
