More on the God of War II goat issue, you've already heard Sony's apologetic statement. You've heard Future Publishing's statement. Now, while the whole hoopla erupted a few days ago and has probably watered-down the online community already, it was only a matter of time before a PETA-affiliated person would speak up. That's what we've sighted today.

From the PETA Files online blog, we quote an excerpt from an author's reaction to the God of War promotional event (i.e. the dead-goat-and-boobies pics):

I've always sided with the video game industry against the Jack Thompsons of this world who are out to make a name for themselves by blaming gamers for all of society's problems, but when a company of Sony's stature goes out of its way to commit an act of senseless violence for a promotion, you have to start questioning whether they have any concern at all about the message they're sending to fans.
