PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message 477
Cooking Mama is a series of games for the Wii and the DS in which players go through a number of steps to prepare meals using a variety of recipes. Last week, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) created their own Flash-based parody of the game, highlighting the use of meat products by having a more bloody-minded Mama do things like pull the internal organs from a Thanksgiving turkey. Cooking Mama's maker, Majesco, issued a light-hearted response, pointing out the vegetarian meals in the game. PETA then said they plan to continue making parody games as a way of "engaging the public."

Somehow it would be funny if PETA sponsored Natural Fawn Killers.

So I guess a remake of "Duck Hunt" is out of the question?

That's it - every time they make one of those parodies, I'm eating a puppy.

Of course they would probably make a game of hiding the sausage over and over again too. I fits with their mantra of going naked to draw publicity.

PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals
Remember, there's room for all of god's creatures... on the plate right next to the mashed potatoes and green beans.

Damn straight. Around these parts, I hunt deer and they hunt me. I use a 2 ton missile, and they use their bodies :(
Too bad Ive wrecked 2 cars, including cracking the engine block in 2 on a 10 point buck. That one sucked.

What's PETAs stand on human cruelty?
Don't quote me on this, but I believe that they are against the eating of human beings.

put bacon on it. Eat two animals because they won't eat one.

REally good initiative. If I had not played this game I would have eaten chicken and added lots of calories. 2 hours workout along with chicken helped me burn some of them.

The ticker (50,000 chickens killed since you opened this web page!) on that site makes me hungry for meat.

Well, OK. As long as it's a free-range puppy, raised in a healthy and loving environment.
