RE: Sony recalls 'LittleBigplanet' over Koran passages
Robert Brearey Jr. 20th Oct 2008
I don't get it. We've had movies, books, & songs that have
quoted the Old Testament (Pete Seeger's "Turn, Turn,
Turn," Which the Byrds took to fame), the Hindu
Upanishads (The last fight scene in the Matrix series was
scored with a song that quoted them.), and other religious
sources, and nobody got bent out of shape ("Turn, Turn,
Turn" is a classic), but, all of a sudden, Sony has to reedit a
video game because a song they licensed for the game has
a couple of lines from the Koran? Sometimes, there is
deep meaning in these lines that cross over beyond the
faith that holds the text sacred. The fact that someone
would get outraged over the use of them is insane and
illogical, especially when you consider that using such
wisdom could bring someone around to your way of
thinking. Not if no one hears it, of course! Makes no
sense.
