Regarding the June 17 article "Sony apologizes for using cathedral in violent video game": As a longtime resident of Japan and a one-time Sony investor, I would like to ask the responsible people at Sony Computer Entertainment to consider the consequences if they had used another place besides Manchester Cathedral to stage the scene of a shootout massacre in their computer game -- say, the Kaaba in Mecca or Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo.
Perhaps then they would see a connection between people's reactions in the real world and the trivial commercialization of mass murder in holy places.
