Oh yeah, that makes sense now -- after I've looked at the header image. That shit would not fly with devout Hindus.
Luckily, I don't give a damn about religion, and I live in America!

Who knows.
What with LBP being recalled due to that oh so offensive song I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Microsoft and/or Bethesda decided to pull it in order to avoid a similar ordeal involving those that practice Hinduism.
Though wouldn't a two headed sacred cow be TWICE as holy?

A shame, as you'll never see the headline "Indian immigrants in America wear deodorant 'in light of cultural sensitivities'".
I think it has to do with India bordering Pakistan, both countries are nuclear powers, they hate each other, and Pakistan is a couple heartbeats away from a nuclear power descending into chaos which scares the hell out of that region. So the prospect of a post nuclear war world might be upsetting.

India is pretty strict about media content, as far as I'm aware. There's still a taboo about kissing in Bollywood films, for instance.
While I can understand the reasoning for cultural sensitivities, I was always a believer in "If ya don't like it don't buy it". People need to get out of their bubble and realize that its not all about them and their "beliefs".
hm. whatever i was gonna say has already been stated. good one gents.
but wouldnt a two headed, four armed jesus be awesome too? Imagine that behind the drum kit!

I hope this doesn't start a chain reaction towards the censoring of video games. Two huge games released this month being Delayed/Canceled due to cultural sensitivities. I'm sure they're going to ban Call of Duty in Japan because you're killing them [/sarcasm].

That was my first thought as well. India and Pakistan have been looking for an excuse to nuke each other for ages.

I wonder how the Indian gaming community feels about this. We need uprisings all over the world, tear everything apart and start over again :-)
Here's how India can get over its cultural sensitivities;
1. Learn not to kill the (FAKE) cow.
2. Replay a message going, "YOU'RE GOING TO BE NUKED BY PAKISTAN, BUT DON'T WORRY, YOUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO DO THE SAME TO THEM" until viewer is desensitized.
