~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
Sony "slaughtered" a goat at a party in Greece to
promote their video game God of War II (they actually
bought an already-slaughtered goat from a butcher.)
Although denied by Sony, rumors said guests at
the event were invited to reach inside the goat's
still-warm carcass to eat offal from its stomach.
