The ridiculousness over video game content goes overseas:

Entertainment giant Sony has been branded irresponsible for using a cathedral from a city plagued by gun crime in a violent video game.

The Church of England says the company did not seek permission to use the Manchester Cathedral in the game, and is demanding an apology and a large donation to be used in its work with young people.

Church leaders have accused Sony of the “desecration” of the cathedral after the firm set the top-selling the new PlayStation 3 game, “Resistance: Fall of Man,” in the place of worship.

The game, which has sold more than one million copies, sees a virtual shoot-out between humans and gun-toting aliens with hundreds killed during a battle inside the cathedral.

What part of “game” and “aliens” do they not understand? I’ve seen footage of that game, anyone who would play that game and think it was endorsing mass murder needs to put down the pipe.

Oh yeah, one more thing…

Sony has been criticized for choosing Manchester — a city where gun violence is rife, and has left tens of youngsters dead. Every year a candlelit memorial services is held in the Manchester Cathedral in honor of people who have been killed by guns. (emphasis mine)

Those civilian disarmament laws not working the way you hoped, eh?
