Church vs Sony

Apparently Manchester cathedral is the setting for a violent scene in some computer game made by Sony.

The Church are demanding the game is removed from all shops and Sony put out an official apology.

The peculiar thing about it is their reasoning, which seems to be that this could encourage gun-fights or firearm related incidents within the cathedral.

Quote:
"We are shocked to see a place of learning, prayer and heritage being presented to the youth market as a location where guns can be fired.

"This is an important issue. For many young people these games offer a different sort of reality and seeing guns in Manchester Cathedral is not the sort of connection we want to make."
