Little Big Planet Delayed

Sony’s biggest release of the year “Little Big Planet” has had to be delayed featuring the discovery of some passages from the Qur’an that have been included in the game.

The passages include:
kollo nafsin tha’iqatol mawt”, literally: ‘Every soul shall have the taste of death

And

kollo man alaiha fan”, literally: ‘All that is on earth will perish

The problem lies with the fact that the Holy text should never be mixed with music, and the game features the words being sung, so Sony has had to recall the game all over the world, delays of up to a month have been cited from some sources, with some UK retailers changing the release date from a firm one to a now vague TBA.

The strangest part for me is the wording in the first place, if it’s a cute building game as it is being marketed why would everything on the earth want to perish? An oversight? Or an annoyed employee? I guess we will never know for sure but one thing is certain this will have hurt Sony badly.
