I have hated those PS3 tv ads ever since I first saw them, then they came out with the magazine cover of that woman on the toilet.

Now if that wasn't enough they have slaughtered a live goat as a PR stunt and invited people to eat out of it's stomach... Seriously what the hell is wrong with these people?

I would love for some Sony fanboys to explain this to me as I just don't get it...

Oh and they also had half naked woman walking around at the same time... weird company
 
I see they've also removed the strange clown from the local version of that Bravia ad where you see the paint exploding all over the buildings. South Africa just isn't ready for the clowns...
 
Oh please ppl what the hell, do you honeslty think they would slaughter a goat for promotion purposes, omg. I just cant believe you people can actually believe that.

It would be like us going to shot a few jews with my rifle and cut off his ear for a trophy or something stupid like that to launch the new game of COD, this is just a typical sony hater.

So now they say its ALL SONY, nut it reads to promote God of war 2, what does sony have to do with promoting GOW2 anyways.

Gosh
 
Man that rocks, and its cause of people like me that they will keep doing what theyre doing, pretty lifelike, struggle to believe they would go so far though, hmmm..

GOW2 is a Sony exclusive. No other console or PC has/will have it. Whether the goat is real or not only time will tell. Personally I don't think they'd be that stupid. More than likely the goat was fake.

Still, some common sense would have served them much better. That's just a stupid thing to do. Sadly something like this will only have a negative effect on gaming as a whole. People opposed to voilent games will only use this as ammo.

Really, really stupid Sony. :(
 
Seems like the Daily Mail is doing what it does best. The reporter did not even attend the event. Not saying that I'm a Sony fan, but how about a bit of factual reporting.

Here's an article with Sony's response...

ok... the thing they were is, they weren't aiming the event towards western countries(and yes we western.... ish) there wasn't even a british reporter there. and would you believe they goat thing is truditional (excuse my spelling) in Greece and they god of war game is a Greek methology based, so that part kinda adds up, and as for the stomach eating think, there's cooked food inside the stomach(still not tasteful) in fact it's like a stew. the animal rights organisation can't do any thing because its a trudition etc... and it's not an add, it's a game launch, which means it's promoting, but it's not going on bill boards and on tv. and it doesn't matter if it's a sony exclusive, that just great for sony that they got an exclusive(whats left after microsoft got hold of them) it's still a private company, of which sony has no control over. people are just trying to frame sony. oh well, the law suits that are gonna follow are gonna be fun to watch

Sony said:
”We recognise that the use of a dead goat was in poor taste and fell below the high standards of conduct we set ourselves. We are conducting an enquiry to establish the circumstances behind the event in order to ensure this does not happen again. We also apologise to anyone offended by the article in the OPSM (subscription copies were sent out ahead of street date).”

At least they accepted their mistake on this one.
 
So they didn't kill the goat at the party and people where not made to eat out of it's "still warm" carcass.

It was still a stupid thing to do by Sony's own admission and they deserved to be lambasted in the press about it...
 
Poor goat...now i will not have a clean memory when i play GOW2...damn sony...
 
How ironic and most of you folks gave Tony Yengeni a hard time about slaughtering a bull and sneered about how uncivilized the black African people were for doing this.

Now we have a bunch of pale half naked Greeks doing the same thing and even wearing animal skins for a cheap PR stunt to promote a Japanese console :).

Greece ... the cradle of civilization ...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.

How ****ing funny.

They thought "If Yengeni can get away with it, so can we!" :D
