Oh, how we love big brother
Joystiq's humor. Fortune magazine recently listed the top 101 big business blunders of 2007 and Sony made the list -- twice. Position 61 on the list went to that crazy
God of War 2 launch party over in Greece with the ... questionable decor that was blown out of proportion by the media. Then at number 63, Sony is cited for
the use of Manchester Cathedral in
Resistance. It doesn't matter that, technically, the game was released in 2006 and Sony apologized twice for the ordeal.
While these are more or less PR snafu's, we could probably come up with much bigger problems that Sony tripped over in 2007. Things that are a little more relevant. But those are still pretty silly bits of strife Sony had to overcome. Feel free to give your opinion about
Fortune's list, or make your own!

As Studio 60 would say "Crazy Christians".
Can we just leave it at that?

Sony biggest mistake is the European TV add's "This is living" or as me and friends call it "This is terrible".
