Or could it be that <GASP> they want publicity?

Un fucking believable. People will cry about everything. They should have had Christ crucified with a PS2 pad in his hands.

[Tragic]

I'm about as unreligous as you can get but I still think that such an ad is in poor taste. What does the ad do? Say Jesus plays(ed?) PlayStation. There is no joke to the ad other than "LOL, re-arranging a religous symbol with our logos". If there was a clever joke in there somewhere then I'd say it's valid but... there isn't.

That ad is really insensitive and inexcusable, especially because if there was an ad like that directly mocking the Jewish religion or Islam the ACLU would already have a boycot organized and there would be Sony=Hitler stuff on The Daily Show. Christians are angry because they're tired of Christianity being the only religion that it's politically correct to piss all over.

I think it's funny. Probably not smart considering how easily people (idiots) get offended, though.

In all your wisdom, tell us, when is it ok to mock a religion or race or sexual orientation? Are blacks being idiots when they object to racist jokes, are Jews being stupid when they object to anti semitism? I know you transcend things like race and religion and sexual orientation but for the rest of us, give us some guidelines.
