Offal eating contest to promote Sony PlayStation game
(From GizmoCafe) After a woman died following a water drinking contest in which the prize was a Nitendo Wii, another ill considered eating contest held in conjunction with a video game has taken place. The Daily Mail reports on a contest to promote the launch of “Gods of War II” for the Sony PlayStation 2:
Electronics giant Sony has sparked a major row over animal cruelty and the ethics of the computer industry by using a freshly slaughtered goat to promote a violent video game.
The corpse of the decapitated animal was the centrepiece of a party to celebrate the launch of the God Of War II game for the company’s PlayStation 2 console.

At the event, guests competed to see who could eat the most offal – procured elsewhere and intended to resemble the goat’s intestines – from its stomach.
