This has really got my goat. REALLY pissed me off beyond belief. No it is nothing to do with fat kids, bad parenting, the French, the Americans, Firstbus, Tony Blair, Michael Schumacher, Reality Television shows or BMW drivers…

It is in fact that the Church of England has made me get all girly and defensive over a company that I detest.! Sony has “borrowed” the interior of Manchester Cathedral for use in one of their games which involves lots of shooting and making things go bang-bang. Now as far as I am aware there are no copyright rules protecting the use of interior footage (especially where public buildings are concerned) and that any house/doctor’s surgery/stadium/butcher’s shop is fair game to be recreated electronically and then bounced around in whilst holding several large weapons and a vast array of pyrotechnic devices.

So the C of E, such as it is plans to sue Sony for an undisclosed amount of money. Now Sony have never been one of my favourite electrical producers, they invent things that only work with Sony equipment and cause a complete arse up of every industry standard whenever something new appears on the market (see Betamax, Blueray, Memorystick/pro/duo). They also produced the Playstation.

I HATE the Playstation. When it came out it was all woo and yay but after comparing it to the cartridge based N64, the system it was up against in the marketplace, I discovered it was slow, had awful graphics and left me feeling like someone had replaced console gaming with a piece of paper and some crayons. Then out came PS2 up against the GameCube. Now I love the GameCube, it had great games and was kinda tiny with nice controllers. The PS2 again left me wanting.

But all that aside, I HATE the church more, especially the Church of England, which was created SPECIFICALLY so that a fat King could divorce one or two of his wives 400 years ago, ish.! So the reason they are suing Sony is not so much for a breach of copyright, it is actually more about the “disgraceful use of the building in a violent computer game”. Which is a bit odd.

“Odd.?” I hear you cry. Well yes, because christianity has always been a rather violent religion at the best of times. The Crusades for instance, where Richard the Lionheart rode through the Middle East with a load of knights and shagged, stole or slayed everything that wasn’t tied down, all in the name of a made up deity who has the same presence as a mosquito fart. Then you have the Spanish Inquisition, garotting non-believers, every other priest buggering choir boys behind those big organ pipes and throw in a little witch burning just for good measure.

So come on C of E, sort it out. You instantly look like a big group of scroungers the second you attempt to sue a large corporation for using the inside of a building. Not wishing to point out how similar a lot of larger churches and cathedrals actually are, but it wouldn’t be hard to draw from memory a basic form of one as I sit here now… going to sue me for sketching it out.? I doubt it…

…you wouldn’t have a prayer.!

And now a quick run down of the search strings I have gained in the past few days…

“Avril Lavinge showing her tits” Has she got any.? Is she legal yet to show he wabs off.? Would anyone want to see them rather than just panning her fucking face in for that “Girlfriend” single.?
“Jim is a fucking dmu’s” Jim would appear to be a class 108 without headcode box in blue/grey numbered B965 (a prize to the person that explains where I am coming from).
“Wank off phone lines” I just phone someones mum and get them talking about surgical tights… does it for me.!
