Toronto is such a shiet hole its not even funny i know i live there, trash city full of ignorant trash.

PC bs all over its disgusting.

It pains me to know that this actually happened where I live.

Wait........the ad just has the eyes, no mention that this is a GAME on PS3 that's being advertised?

Way to waste money, Sony.  Yep, best to pull them down and stop wasting the fees you would've paid for the next week or two.

The main problem stemmed from a fourth and fifth grade school teacher named Davis Mirza, who emailed Sony because of the “menacing head with glowing eyes” and scenes of war “like Iraq”.

Her reason for being offended was because of the myriad of cultures present in her classroom.

“My kids, who come from a lot of different countries, who have to experience violence, who basically come here to seek shelter and safety, that’s the stuff they don’t need to see”, she said.

=========================================================

Talk about total PC bullshit. Who the fuck is Davis Mirza, anyway? I just hope other companies don't follow the suit.

you must be from Jane & Finch lol

i would of just left them up, if the teacher wants them down she can do it herself. then you can sue her for destroying your ads. gotta think outside the box sony

Why do you hate toronto so much? Is it that were too awesome for you?

Dude, I work at a daycare part-time and children would be freaked out of their minds from something that looks like that. There's too much crap in this world (violence), and people get offended from something that they do not want their children to see. In this case something that could give a child nightmares. Parents wouldn't know what the hell those ads were for. Probably some 'sci-fi nerd stuff' that shouldn't be posted where children congregate around.

Hell, one parent got offended when I was talking to children about Pokemon. The parent said (it was the mother), "Pokemon isn't allowed in our household." Sure, some parents need to get their head out of their ass when Pokemon is known for being appropriate for all ages. It's the parents fault for not understanding stuff, but parents do know what's best, and some parents would agree with me that stuff such as those "OHMEHGAWDZ ITSS HEELGAHNER AYLEEINS!!666P!E!N!I!S!" pictures aren't appropriate for children to see. Including over-advertising, such as what they did in that Toronto area, Sony shouldn't post stuff in mass amounts that is for a MATURE game in areas where children are at.

Make fun of me all you want, but I find your post to be the spitting image of someone who is blinded by fanboyism and doesn't know anything about advertising. Advertising has to be appeal to everyone so it doesn't offend to anyone. You could say it doesn't offend you because you're mature enough to understand and accept what the game is and what it's about, but parents wouldn't know what it is and would want to shelter their children from violent or frightening images. Please, take a college course in art or business.

Yea as all the kids in her class go home to play Halo 3! other than that I cant see this any worse than those Canadian WSIB workplace safety adds, those even scare me!
