My bad: Nobody here called you The Logician, and seeing as you picked the name, you called yourself the logician. In their defense, a LOT of teachers aren't really very smart... or students...or people in general really... Sturgeon's law. But aaaaaaanyways, back to what matters:The_Logician19 post=9.74339.831491 said:
Yes, so you wouldn't complain that they didnt adress the issue. I've been under the impression for some time (the whole issue bringing about this thread reenforcing this impression) that most companies take religion very seriously, out of fear of boycotts; if The Pope tells people not to buy PS4's, a lot of people aren't going to buy PS4's. Also, I personally find it more condecending that they would try to pacify you without taking direct action than tell you they aren't going to adress the issue at all.Caliostro post=9.74339.831517 said:

I then drafted the following letter I plan to send to Sony human resources.
To whom it may concern
I am writing in regards to the control device or 'controller' supplied with your product the 'PLAYSTATION 3'. While I am satisfied with the performance of the controller both ergonomically and aesthetically I, and some members of a christian gaming forum I frequent, have noticed something that disturbs us greatly. Since the directors of Sony have proven themselves open to suggestions from minority religious groups I decided that I would contact you directly with these concerns in the hope that could correct this problem as soon as possible.
The Crucifix, or 'Cross' is a vital part of Christian symbolism and is, for many people, a linchpin for their faith. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the holy cross, symbol of our lord Jesus Christ's sacrifice, does in fact adorn the PS3 controller in a very undignified fashion. No matter how you look at it, the 'D-PAD', as it is called, is undoubtedly a representation of the crucifix. While I appreciate that there is no specific tenet in our faith pertaining to the display of the holy cross and that you may find it on T-shirts, shop windows, in taxi cabs, etc I can't help but feel that displaying the holy cross on a video game entertainment system is unsuitable and offensive in the extreme.
These pictures may highlight the problem in more detail.
It is not my intent to voice outrage nor demand a product recall, in fact I would rather avoid that, especially with the imminent release of little Big Planet, but I insist that something must be done about this obvious design flaw which has the potential to offend many members of the world's second largest faith. Perhaps you could issue a circular cover of some sort? I would appreciate a prompt response.
Thank you for your time and God Bless.
Yours
Jeremy Frogmouth
