PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message
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."
We should respond by releasing a flash game targeted at 8-12 year olds entitled "Butcher Mama," showing a farm-life environment where you have to slaughter and butcher hogs, chickens, cattle, and fish (from a fishery!). Target the age when your grandpappy taught you about farming, and even have such heart-felt phrases like "this is the best part, they dance around after ya kill 'em" that you should be familiar with if you were raised around livestock.

That's it - every time they make one of those parodies, I'm eating a puppy.
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.
A bullet may have your name on it but splash damage is addressed "To whom it may concern."
