I was hoping something like this would happen.
Had that guy on the PS forums not posted this, there would be a midnight launch of LBP at my store tonight. If Sony makes their decision right, maybe I won't have to care which version I end up getting of the yet unreleased game.

If I wanted the original content, I shouldn't have to go searching on ebay. I should be able to get it. If the original content offended me, I shouldn't have to wait longer for a different version, I should be able to just turn it off.

Has anybody ever heard of language filters?

This is sad.
Everybody is so caught up over not offending anybody else that a simple song can cost a company thousands.

If they really felt that bad about it, they could have released a patch to either block certain songs from being played, or they could have just left it in with a disclaimer in the manual. Kind of like how a lot of games do with the manji symbol, which a lot of people still get upset about because of it's resemblence to a swastika.

A formal apology probably would have sufficed enough.
They really didn't need to backtrack that far just to save their butts.
