A new controversy on the line, another video game being trashed for some -good or bad-reasons, this time it is not Grand Theft Auto or Bully, neither Resident Evil or Silent Hill … it is the newest cutest hopefull SONY’s production of the most anticipated PS3 exclusive title: Little Big planet. but what is the fuss about anyway?
Oh well, the game is about little -Sackboy- creatures who you need to control them around the real size world and save your tribe -or something!- you can also build your own level and share it online with others and make your own music, sounds endlessly fun, at least, who would ever thought that PS3 was capable of being cute after all, i knew few who love it, but well, we all know that you can also fall in love with the airplane’s black box as well if you concentrate enough…
Anyways! the problem aroused on launching the game and started retail actions everywhere when a kid somewhere started playing it and whilst enjoying the background song called “Tapha Niang” he found out that it included two verses of Qura’an. For him, being a hot-blooded muslim he spread the word which spread like the T-virus around the world. The game’s official launch halted, Sony announced an apology and an undercover internet war started, especially on the worst dirtiest place ever Youtube.com (which encourages racism hugely!). The last thing that Sony needs is a suicidal explosive assault from an crazy Al-Qa’aeda hellish group of monkyes thus they released their apology by 1 – delaying the world wide official launch of the most aniticpated game of the year and 2 – releasing an online patch for the users who already have the older copy and wish to erase that track, Thanks kid! you are a true savior.
So i got mixed up in all of that fuss, especially if you start reading people’s amusing comments on Youtube (don’t waste your time, seriously!), and i did not think much of it, so i stay neutral, for the sake of not creating a new incident of the Danish Cartoonist thing!

The Song:
If you would feel offended by hearing two general scentences from Holy Qura’an and start bitching on Youtube about it, then do not bother, the song is not that bad anyway!
