Damnit PETA. You're so ridiculous already, how are we supposed to know when you're joking?

Good ol' PR agents, they always make you look worst.

Did she just link Mario and COD with dog wars to make a point that's not even valid? Weak... You can't just say "Hey look this one nobody made a game so that's the equivalent to a group of somebody's doing there career making games".

I leaned something from this article. That a Tanuki is also called a raccoon dog, and it's not in the canine family. How annoying.

OT: I'm sorry, a suit that looks like an animal does not encourage people to buy or wear fur clothing. With that logic, the Easter bunny encourages the death of rabbits everywhere. We all know that ins't true.

So if this was a joke? So is everything else they do... because the sense of humour they are trying to show they have must mean that their whole organisation is a self parody...

Anyway I will still eat meat and have pets. Im not letting no PETA take that away from me

I only laughed at them, not the game or the supposed joke, because everything PETA does is just so retarded and hilarious. How the hell do they keep making money again to stay alive and do shit like this? Oh right people pay attention, nevermind...

Ah, yes; the "Parody Retcon". I am reminded of the claim for the Biodome movie that it was supposed to be part of the Bill and Ted series.

That was the worst joke ever, I don't even get the funny! PeTA should get their shit straight before they even stay anything, or they will have a horde of the angry 99.999999% of the world population breathing down their necks.
Now if you excuse me, I'm going to plot to rescue all the animals set to be euthanized at the PeTA HQ.

You mean the attack dogs trained specifically to kill enemy soldiers and that will rip your jugular out of your throat if you don't kill them?

Perspective, people. Perspective.
please don't kill the dogs!! says nothing about the thousand of people you kill

less money on jokes and more money on actually finding homes for that 86% of animals you kill instead of adopting out?

I call bullshit. This move is Jon Stewart-eque.

Say something provocative to try and send a message that you believe in. Then when the move backfires and more people end up angry at you than angry at the issue your were trying to promote, try to pretend that it was all a joke.

I call this move "Putting on the clown nose"- and a great form of cowardice.

Go to hell, PETA.
glenn beck is that you??

JON STEWART IS A COMEDIAN. you should be expecting everything he says on his show to be a joke.
That is his ideal cover. He would like it very much if you would see the statements he makes on his show to be nothing but comedy, with no thought-provoking potential. But watch some of the interviews he does on his show and you can see he can be dead serious with his opinions. Also, read the contexts of his jokes, and you can easily see the acerbic social commentary that orients them.

Do you think his "Restoring Sanity" rally last year was simply a joke? Do you think he mobilized tens of thousands and spent that much in dollars, all for the sake of a punch line? Even if you would argue that he did indeed use mocking humor at that rally, do you think he considered himself primarily a comedian then? Or did he see himself as an avant-garde social commentator, a champion for the Left, a progressive counterweight to Glenn Beck and his "Restoring Honor" rally?

And when Stewart's statements aren't taken favorably? Like when he considered Harry Truman to be a war criminal for dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and sparing America 1,000,000+ casualties from amphibiously invading Japan?

"Hey, I'm just a comedian! Don't take what I say seriously."- Putting on the clown nose.

It's this cowardly two-faced approach to political commenting that I've got a serious problem with. You're a socially daring political commentator operating under a mask of comedy when you say something popular, and you're a comedian operating under a mask of socially daring political commenting when your statements are unpopular.

PETA, everybody thinks you're serious when you try to be funny because everything else you say is just as dumbfuck whether you're serious or not.

See PETA, this is your problem: your jokes are as silly as your serious statements. Nobody can tell the difference anymore.

Hm, so it seems even PETA has its limits on how publicly humiliated it can stand to be. Which means they're actually serious and care about their image, which sort of makes it all more sad. I liked them better as trolls--at least we could be satisfied with the knowledge that they're not actually trying to make a difference. But that they actually think they can have an impact with what they're doing...man. That is sad.

That game was actually pretty good. Had they just released the game without the "joke" message it'd be a clever deconstruction of a Mario concept with a fun little game attached. As it is...
That's because it was made by This Is Pop, who make great games for Adult Swim instead of some inside PETA beginner programmers.

So yeah I had a feeling things weren't as stupid because if This Is Pop actually made the game, PETA must have said something not stupid to them.

EDIT: Apparently PETA and This Is Pop had a close relationship, well then why the hell is this the first time TIP made them a game. On a slightly related note, they made Adult Swim a game called Tofu Hunter recently.

Skyrim is an immoral game because it's telling me that it's alright to slay Dragons for the purpose of stealing their immortal souls. Thank you PETA.

They obviously figured out that what they had done was the dumbest fucking thing that they could've done, and made a lame attempt at covering their asses...

Wow... PETA uses the suffering of poor animals as a source of humor. Seems a little meta... Or is it hypocritical? I can never remember.

Games are already hated by enough people, who have no solid reason to dislike them, please don't joke about additional negative effects of games. Also, mario was supposed to be a kids game, you wouldn't show barbie or any sort of princess covered in gore, don't freaking do it to mario.
