Sony Uses Slaughtered Goat To Promote Game
Published: May 8, 07

Sony really crossed the line this time when it used images of a freshly slaughtered goat to promote it’s game, “God of War 2”. Animal rights activists were enraged by the depiction and Sony has repented in ashes.

Someone at Sony Corp. thought that using a freshly slaughtered goat as a prop at its "God of War II" video game launch party in Athens was a good idea. But that was before animal rights activists convinced them otherwise. Apparently, Sony hosted about 20 journalists at the event in March, which it called a theatrical dramatization with a Greek mythological theme. The goat was provided to the production company by a local butcher. Also at the party, female hostesses with breasts covered with nothing but body paint who fed grapes to guests, who competed to eat the most "warm entrails" -- a meat soup made to look like the goat's internal organs.
