Little Big Disappointment

Jack and I were at the Gamestop in Roosevelt Field Mall. After days of deliberating (don't buy another game! you already own so many that you haven't even taken out of the plastic!) I finally gave in to my desires and decided to buy what is apparently one of the greatest games of all time: Little Big Planet.





So I went to the counter guy, and asked "do you have any copies of Little Big Planet?"

"No, they were all recalled."

I had visions of the game being found to contain circular saws instead of cds. Or maybe the packaging exploded? I couldn't compute what would get a GAME recalled.

"Why?"

"They found lyrics from the Koran in it."

No way. I thought. This guy was full of shit. Nope! He was right.

LAME! So what if it has a line from the Koran in another language? Big deal! I mean, because it's set to pop music? Really? Call me insensitive but I think the whole thing is totally ridiculous.

  1. This is PR Bullshit at it's best(worst?) Recalling it for fear of causing offense to Muslims is thinner than John McCain's lower lip.

    We live in a country where the only thing people fear worse than the "gay agenda," is the less cited "Muslim agenda."

    Americans are just more subversive with their anti-Islam sentiments because they're not scared the fag next door will blow them up. He's too busy snatching children from the playground...
