In news that’s not likely to ease the already sweltering tensions between mainstream Islam and radical PS3 owners, Sony announced the weeklong delay of their flagship platformer/world editor LittleBigPlanet in response to potentially scandalous religious content in one of its soundtrack titles. The offending song, Toumani Diabate’s Tapha Niang, references the Qur’an in several verses.
Sony recently tangled with the Church of England over the violent depiction of Manchester Cathedral in Resistance: Fall of Man, so it’s little surprise that they’d tread carefully with Qur’an references. Check it out for yourself on Diabate‘s MySpace page. He’s the Buckethead of the Kora.
Sony rescheduled the U.S. release of LittleBigPlanet for the week of October 27th.

Goddamn sand coons! Its news stories like this that make all the deaths in Iraq all worth while.
Thank god the comments here on CHUD were recently enabled. Otherwise i would have never been blessed with the above statement.
It's Kakuto Chojin all over again!
#2 – What, are you stupid? Or too hungry for that little orgasmic PC-Outrage cock shiver to take a few seconds to parse #1's post? Yeah, let's shut down the comments section in case someone gets offended – legitimately or imagined. Did you even read the article or are you cruising the comments sections for cheap prurient thrills?
Regarding the first comment, I can't believe you deem countless deaths as being acceptable because a video game is being released later than originally planned. Your intelligence is painfully apparent when you make comments like that.
