One Day….. One Day… I will be proved right about this!

Now the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair has jumped into the fray, along with, possibly, all the Christians in Japan. Today, PM Blair said, and I am paraphrasing, that Sony was bad and shouldn’t have allowed Resistance: Fall Of Man to be set in an alternate reality, that happened to include the Manchester Cathedral.

Although I doubt that Sony envisioned this getting so out of hand, I just know in my heart of hearts that this is part of the new “Humble” Sony. Sony that’s been kicked around by gamers, critics, and now the country of England. Sony who we should be running to the defense of waving anti censorship banners. We should run out and buy their consoles to show solidarity with the company. If we already own a PS3 perhaps we should get one for downstairs.

Before I exonerate Sony of any hand in leaking or antagonizing the Church to rally public support, I want answers.

1. Why did this story break on the same day that Sony discovered humility (and blogging)?
2. Why don’t they direct the Church to the developer (Insomniac)? You think Microsoft is gonna take the heat for GTA4 when people find Hot Coffee 2.0?
3. What took the Church so long to find this? It’s the hottest game for PS3 so far.
4. Sony’s got enough money to bring back Jesus, so why wouldn’t they hush this up with a big check in the offering plate?

I’ll tell you why… Because this is the best thing to happen to Sony and the PS3 since electricity. Censorship-minded gamers are rushing to their defense, despite their differences with Sony.

If I sound a little pissed off, think again. Whoever thought this up, is the most brilliant public relations mind in the history of the profession. Someone should make a movie about this. If Sony continues to execute such brilliant moves, they could indeed give Xbox 360 and Wii a serious run for their money. You had me for a minute Sony. You had me for a minute.
