In an effort to rally around the steeple, the Church of England is asking the people of Japan to protest PS3 exclusive Resistance. The dean of Manchester Cathedral, the Very Rev. Rogers Govender says:

Today I want to appeal directly to the people of Japan to help us put pressure on Sony to respond. So I speak directly to those citizens who share our concerns.

Sure, Sony's headquarters is in Tokyo, but Sony's a mulit-national corporation, and the game was made in America by Americans. What do Japanese people, who aren't typically Christian, have to do with this? Heck, many young non-Christian Japanese couples get married in faux churches by fake priests and wear crucifixes merely because they like the look. Think they honestly care?

The Anglican Church is upset that Manchester Cathedral was used as an shoot out with aliens and giant bugs. Let's forget for a moment, that your in-game goal is to protect Manchester and thus Britain and thus the world with your gunplay. Save humanity? What better place to do that than in a church.
