umm no it a stupid magical imp that dos your work but screws up big time causing you to shut down bussiness for like 2 monthes and then firing him but then needing more stupid imployees so hiring him back which ends up doing the same thing
So, how far is too far? I really do think Sony is inane when it comes to advertisments.
Lets go celebrate Manhunt! We have a real severed head, a dim mooded room, bottles of painkillers and we film it all! Oh the severed head? We got it from the morgue, so its ok! They said it belonged to a guy who had no family, so break out the booze!
Sony's gonna make Jack Thompson start looking like he's talking sense.
In my opinion, the only thing that Sony could be condemned for is the inclusion of this article in their mass-produced magazine, solely for the fact that the nature of this event is region-specific and offensive to a large group people.
It is interesting to note how certain aspects of meat consumption lingers in the realm of taboo in the US. Our society, and many others, have developed arbitrary boundaries when it comes to meat. A perfect example can be seen in the way food is packaged/presented, i.e. the animal must be decapitated. A lot of people would refuse to purchase a frozen turkey or be served fish at a restaurant with the head attached. The explanation behind this "ick" factor is multifaceted: we are accustomed to specific culinary preparations/presentations, we attribute emotions to faces, therefore an animal w/ head attached is humanized, or we would feel certain moral guilt through the action of decapitation. Either way, this is something that other cultures do not find taboo.
Last year I was invited to a party where they roasted a full pig on an open flame. I was a bit stunned at first, but I once the food was served I realized that it was no different from purchasing meat at the grocery store. And it was delicious.
Really? Are you saying that women's suffrage and the civil rights movements is equivalent to Nazism? I'm disturbed by your comment and the fact that no one else has taken offense. Everyday people are fighting for their rights in this country. And while it may not factor into the bigger scheme of things, it does not diminish in its importance to that individual and those around them. If no one fights for the small injustices the world will never change. And in more instances than not, those small fights have lead to big changes: equal opportunity, handicap accessibility, equal pay, civil rights, disability acts, sexual harassment laws, animal rights, conservation laws, endangered species list, etc. (The majority of these being enacted from forty to as recent as ten years ago)
Should people remain silent because they will be seen as too sensitive or uncooperative?
I have an acquaintance who had to quit her job because she was sexually harassed daily; a friend whose had her literary work accepted under a male pen name after being initially rejected under hers... is that fair? Are they being too sensitive? I've seen some of my black friends be racially profiled to the point that they are followed in a store. Should they not try to force society to change? Or should they just be content with the way things are?
I won't deny the fact that some members fighting for any cause are either misinformed or faddist, but to condemn an entire movement because you don't agree with certain aspects of it is idiotic and short-sighted. I did not want to be rude, but there is no better way to put it.

This is probably the best example of "the lack of internet". It can't be proven if the source is right... It could be a PR-Stunt. And it could just be a PR-Stunt.
Any proofs? :ee5k:

Bingo.
Ok now you are twisting my words around and reading into areas not mentioned. I see you mainly focus on Feminist. Let me tell you a bit about me. I went to one of most famous extremist universtity where hippies still roam, feminist are beating up men, where everyone is looking for something wrong so they can protest. They want to protest, so they search for any excuse too, even if its false. I hate those people. Who are they, they are the people that mimic the leaders of many of these special interest groups.
Let me quote what feminist are preaching, and you tell me how much you can stand up for them.
*"Heterosexuality is a die-hard custom through which male-supremacist institutions insure their own perpetuity and control over us. Women are kept, maintained and contained through terror, violence, and the spray of semen...[Lesbianism is] an ideological, political and philosophical means of liberation of all women from heterosexual tyranny... " -- Cheryl Clarke
*"The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness...can be trained to do most things." -- Jilly Cooper
*"Since marriage constitutes slavery for women, it is clear that the women's movement must concentrate on attacking this institution. Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage." -- Sheila Cronin, the leader of the feminist organization NOW
*"If life is to survive on this planet, there must be a decontamination of the Earth. I think this will be accompanied by an evolutionary process that will result in a drastic reduction of the population of males." --Mary Daly, former Professor at Boston College, 2001.
*"I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig." -- Andrea Dworkin
*"All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman." -- Catherine MacKinnon
*"You grow up with your father holding you down and covering your mouth so another man can make a horrible searing pain between your legs." -- Catherine MacKinnon (Prominent legal feminist scholar; University of Michigan, & Yale.)
*"In a patriarchal society, all heterosexual intercourse is rape because women, as a group, are not strong enough to give meaningful consent." -- Catharine MacKinnon, quoted in Professing Feminism: Cautionary Tales from the Strange World of Women's Studies.
*“Feminism, Socialism, and Communism are one in the same, and Socialist/Communist government is the goal of feminism.” - Catharine A. MacKinnon
They think everything is sexual harrasment in one form or another. Let me tell you about a story of a friend of mine. He liked sports, played a lot. A real moralistic friendly guy, who would never hurt a woman. There was one though, that hated him purely because he looked like a "big dumb jock". Her name was Kara, and I remember her kicking a puppy because it was male. Anyways, she told some other fems that the guy tried to molest her and was harrasing her (she was ugly as hell i, i dont think any one would want to touch her at all), they got up in arms and the poor guy got kicked off the team and the university. He didnt do a thing, he barely even knew the feminist. Why did they believe her, because shes a girl and she took full advantage of that and the excuses that women get raped every day. Its pathetic. So go ahead and believe a candy filled dream that those womans rights people are all good.
I support the civil rights movement too, but you have to look at the facts of it. Some of those civil rights leaders wanted get rid of the white man. To kill, to fight. No side is perfect.
I have seen peace protesters beat up people, throw rocks and destory property, Hippies attack someone because that person used a tissue instead of a reusable rag to blow their nose, I have seen unqualified workers get jobs or positions and even enrollments because of the color of their skin, why? because their special interest group will make a big fuss. A lot of these groups create divide and unequality, not the other way around. Thats the world we live in. Of course, not all are bad, but even the good ones have a dark side as well.
Be as disgusted as you want, I know the truth and no matter what you say, I wont paint a pretty picture of reality.

How can I be twisting your words? You made an overly generalized statement comparing feminists and civil rights, gays, and disabled movements and every other group, for that matter, with Nazism. The fact that you choose only negative quotes adds to the generalization.
(What did you do, type in "extreme feminist quotes" in Google?)
Every feminist writer or activist I've had the pleasure of meeting seeks only for equality, not the eradication of men. Just last week I went to a poetry reading by Judith Ortiz, who concerns herself with female sexuality. I am currently working to publish an essay on female stereotypes in Cyberpunk fiction, and have submitted an article on the Great Mother motifs in Beowulf. I have also worked alongside my college professor, doing research for her book on black face theater. She is a civil rights activist, fought against segregation, exploits racial prejudices in literature, and is the sweetest person on Earth.
The point is that every organization has its extremists, but they shouldn't be used to generalize the whole. It's one thing to paint a pretty picture of reality, it's another to dye it black on the account of the actions perpetrated by the extreme minority. It's good to be aware of the realities of life, the good and the bad, I will never say otherwise, but to deny others of any consideration by categorizing them only serves to dehumanize them.
