PETA once again thinks its being clever with another of their idiotic attacks on video games
Matt Hawkins As the number of people who gives a rat’s ass about them continues to steadily decline, they’ve decided to go after one of the big boys: Nintendo. And are their complaints or arguments any more valid? Of course not.
You know, there really are few things on this planet that gets my blood boiling than animal abuse. Furry little creatures represent everything that’s wonderful about life, and conversely, how some people use and abuse them represents all that’s horrible. Thankfully, society has begun to make real progress as it pertains to protecting endangered species and acknowledging all the good that animals can do for us, but at the end of the day, it’s not nearly enough.
So that being said, another thing that legitimately pisses me off more than anything is The People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA. The entity is as big of a sham as they go, up their with Scientology. The sad thing is, many people play along, since they too love animals and the like, without realizing how twisted and flat our retarded their dogma can be. My fave is how they’re for the liberation of all animals, even seeing eye dogs for blind people, which to me is the best example of how awesome animals can be.
In the end, animals have their place in the grand scheme of things, and us people deserve to be part of that circle of life. Hence why I feel eating animals is not inherently evil, nor is hunting them… provided that everything is done sensibly ethically. But the hate and misinformation that PETA spews threatens any underlying positive message that might be contained within. I agree that the manner in which animals we keep in captivity to provide food for us is deplorable, but their sensationalized manner in which they deliver their message is completely counter-productive. It’s like Michael Moore; I basically agree with everyone he says, but he’s so insufferably annoying, is there why I don’t want anything to do with what he’s saying or doing?
But back to PETA; its due to their inability to properly articulate their causes, and the fact that no one pays them any attention anymore has led them to attack yet another high profile target that has pretty much nothing to do with animal abuse. In this case, Nintendo, whom they believe are telling kids that wearing fur is okay. Specifically, whenever Mario dons the Tanooki suit in Super Mario 3D Land. And to help illustrate this “fact”, they’ve crafted yet another wonderful game on the web…
… It can be played here. On the plus side, the music ain’t half bad, and the levels are randomly produced, which is pretty neat. But its riddled with bugs and is simply boring overall. Though I do love the phallic backgrounds.
Sorry, but at least their take on Cooking Mama was much better, and that’s not saying much.
