Worlds Worst Persons in Videogames: Late Edition

I've heard this a couple weeks ago on the podcast, Geeks On. The story has recently been posted on Gamepolitics.com (story's comment page: http://www.livejournal.com/users/gamepolitics/103677.html).
Sony in Italy put out an ad that shows a guy with a crown of thorns, with the thorns shaped in the familiar PS1/2 controller symbols. The caption on the bottom translate to "Ten years of Passion". For those who don't already know, this is a parady of The Passion of the Christ.
This was only put out in Italy, the home of Calothicism. It's pretty bad to parody any religion, but to do so in their home territory, I have no words.
Not much more to say then that. Well, other then to say that Sony's Italian advertising department gets the title of Worst Persons in the World.
