Man United?

It seems Sony is stirring the pot over in Manchester. ("Cathedral to demand Sony apology")

Sony claims that they have permission to use the interior of Manchester Cathedral in their upcoming game Resistance: Fall of Man. Of course the cathedral spokesperson says "not so fast Sony."

My favorite part of the whole shinanigans is the 4 part demand on the part of Manchester Cathedral. They want Sony to help fund social groups in Manchester to help fight gun crimes. I thought England didn't have a right to bear arms? This seems like something the police need to focus on more than an entertainment corporation. Of course, this suggests that violent video games lead to real life violence. It's possible, I'm not an expert in psychology or sociology, but I have a hard time following the argument that violent video games lead Manchester to have a higher gun crime rate. My guess is the problem is a deeper socio-economic conflict. Mental note: don't piss of a ManU fan, he might be piss drunk and pull a Desert Eagle on you a la Snatch.
