First It was a bleeding goat that Sony was forced to apologise over, now it has had to go on bended knees to the Church of England in an effort to avoid being black banned by one of the biggest Churches in the world.
It seems that the Church of England have got their knickers in a twist over a Sony game that uses as a backdrop Manchester Cathedral.
Forget the fact that young people are walking away from the Church of England in droves, Sony has been forced to apologise to what appears to be a group of individuals that are so out of touch with society that they would struggle to understand what a Playstation console is.
They are not even smart enough to work out how to take advantage of the situation to promote the church. Instead all they know how to do is urge people to blackban Sony
It has now been revealed that Sony has sent an apology letter to the Dean of Manchester Cathedral, apologising for any offence caused by their hit game Resistance: Fall of Man. The Dean of Manchester is the Revd Rogers Govender, a black South African of Indian descent. While he claims he is a Manchester United fan with a liking for rock music it appears that he has no idea of the pulling value of turning the inclusion of Manchester Cathedral in the Sony game Resistance: Fall of Man into a positive as opposed to calling for the Japanese to go on an anti-Sony mission.
In the letter sent by Sony it says, “It was not our intention to cause offence by using a representation of Manchester Cathedral in chapter eight of the work. If we have done so, we sincerely apologize.”
However, Sony does not accept “that there is any connection between contemporary issues in 21st century Manchester and the work of science fiction in which a fictitious 1950s Britain is under attack by aliens.
We believe a comprehensive viewing of the work will make its content and context clear.”
The letter also included an offer for Sony officials to meet with Church officials. The Dean said the Cathedral will accept the offer and hope to continue discussions over Resistance being withdrawn or Sony making a donation towards the Church’s initiative against gun violence.
