Religious outcry sparks LittleBigRecall
New PlayStation game soundtrack unpopular with some Islamic groups
By Mike Smith

LittleBigPlanet, one of this year's most-anticipated PlayStation 3 releases, won't be arriving in stores next week as expected.

The "social platforming" game is already gathering rave reviews, but it hasn't proven popular with one Muslim group...

The religion that must not be offended



Anyone want to bet on how many threads will be on the DUmp screaming hatred about this?   ::)

The whole reason I re-enlisted was so companies and people wouldn't ahve to feel intimidated by violent assholes.

I wish the developer would reach down and grab their man-pack; I'll be here to back their play.

The religion that must not be offended

Notice how they leave the identity of the religion out of the headline?  If it were Christians complaining about the game, the word "Christians" would be the first word of the headline.

I predict exactly zero.

Nothing here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=248

But there is one thread about "fundamentalist Christian" game reviewers.  Hilariously, though, the website in question is a satirical one.  Stupid DUmp monkeys.

There would be no headline if Christians were complaining, because it wouldn't be recalled.

I stand corrected.
