The problem though, is what does it mean for User Generated Content now that they've removed the song? Does any UGC that references the Koran get banned as well? Does the same go for other religions?
I don't know the specifics of the 911 level, or if it was removed, but I'm sure that many people, especially the families of the victims, would be offended by that. Should that be removed as well?
Would a level where you save Jesus be offensive to Jewish people? Should that be removed also?
What about content that is never shared, so doesn't have a chance to be banned? What happens when a mother sees her 10 year old playing a giant penis level that he/she created?
The point is, we've seen how the media handles video games. They're the first thing blamed anytime something goes wrong. Look at Mass Effect this year, Doom during Columbine, GTA:SA. The last 2 were crucified by the media because of mods. Is LBP going to end up with the same problems?

I hope not.
Oblivion seems to be ok so far, and I'm sure there are some pretty offensive mods for that if people look hard enough.
LBP it could be argued will be more highly scrutinised by the various lobbies than Oblivion due it being...well...LBP
