Sony use slaughtered goat as promotion stunt

[crazybayman]

Totally freakin awesome.

YES

What's really funny is that I'm here at work (its lunchtime), and my boss walks by while I had the article opened and literally says "WTF?" So I explained the stunt, and he says "crazy." and walks away.



I guess how you take this depends on where you come from. I used to hang out with a kid whose dad had a herd of sheep (a small farm, actually), and the age of...oh I dunno....maybe 12 or younger I saw him slaughter a sheep. He literally just cut its throat, and pinned the animal's head into a "bleed hole" in the floor of his shed, with his foot, while the animal kicked for its life as it bled to death.

Likewise, I successfully hunted and snared my first rabbit (which we later ate in rabbit stew) at the age of 5.

So a dead goat carcass? Big frickin' deal. I actually know a dude who has a few goats he'll soon slaughter (if he hasn't done so already).

The game is about an ancient Greek God, and a violent Greek God, at that. Its just a promotional setup to display the power of an ancient Greek God. Of course a freshly slaughtered goat is necessary for that
