Sony in trouble with God as well as Satan

Even Mammon's peeved. Sony just can't get it right

ACCIDENT PRONE Sony has gone and done it again and this time upset the Bishop of somewhere called Manchester.

Just a little while back, Sony upset Satan by admitting it hadn't actually cut off a goat's head itself at a press gig, but got a butcher to do it.

See Sony finally goes mad.

The BBC talked to God's own Mancunian lightning rod, a bishop called Nigel McCulloch. He told the public broadcasting service that Sony featuring the cathedral in a game called "Fall of Man" was "highly irresponsible". Apparently there is a lot of gun crime in Manchester.

Sony said it was taking God's spokesperson on earth very seriously but claimed the game called "Fall of Man" wasn't based on reality. Thus demonstrating that the executives at Sony never read that bit where Adam and Eve got flung out of paradise.

The Bish of Manchester described Manchester Cathedral as a place of learning, prayer and heritage.

Manchester Cathedral has taken 600 years to build, but most of it is a 19th century reconstruction by Basil Champneys. It also got bombed in 1940.

Bishop Ussher said the world started in 4004BC, according to this web site.

Roman Manchester is, then, kind of halfway between the Fall of Man and now. µ

* DISCLAIMER INQ reporters Adamson Rust and Eva Glass are no relation to the pair that got ejected from paradise. Although there are some similarities.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
