    But it's only holy to a minority of people. Those who aren't offended by it should be able to listen to the lyrics just as they are free to in the original song.

      Interestingly from reading that page, it sounds like Spore actually caused a bit of a fuss among Christians who believe in creationism. Though that news never even penetrated the gaming media.

        To be fair, it didn't really though did it? ONE woman (and only one woman) commented on the game (thinking it was actually LBP), and retracted her "objection" once the mix up was explained. She then said she had no problem with the concept.

          Apparently an atheist group also complained about an option in the game which allowed users to introduce religion.

            BUT

            Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra of the Muslim Council of Britain disagreed.

            "Muslims believe the Qur'an to be the actual word of god and give it utmost respect," he said. "Therefore if it were to be used with the accompaniment of music or if it were to be used in a game or a commercial - that would upset and cause offence and hurt to many, many Muslims."
            Here's a similar quote that gives more context:
            "It is quite normal," he said, "to play music and be inspired by the words of the Prophet Mohammed (Peace on his Soul) in my country in Mali. You can see this on television all the time."

                Sony have said that the pre-recall versions won't work online now as it was only promos and review copies that went out.

                        There's a hidden message!

                        So it seems in Japan there will be the aforementioned Piposaru to download, but only on the 1st day of release, and the website also lists the space suit and a pumpkin head saying they are available on the 30th (but I don't know if it's time limited). Probably the other regions will also get the halloween goodness.

                            I know its the BBC, quite a nice little interview and report including LBP.
                            They also say in the article that work has already begun on LBP 2.....

                              The servers are live now!

                              I read that the update which remixed the potentially offensive track also added some new sack clothes for the little fellers. Not sure how you unlock them though.
