PETA Dumps on Battlefield 3
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
This has me thinking about the episode on How I met Your Mother where Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Marshall (Jason Segal) are in a prank war late at night with some guy in another company. A female employee walks in as they are putting rats in a box to send over and she says "You're going to put holes in that, right?"
..."Yeah, we were just getting to that..."
("Were you going to put holes in the box?!?")
("No! Were you?!?")
Not saying that it would be funny if a box of rats showed up at PETA's HQ or anything, but you never know. If it should ever happen, I would encourage the rats be properly angered and of the rabies variety.
As for this Battlefield: Ratgate they're drumming on about, don't they have something important to worry about? Heaven forbid we show animals getting digitally killed in a game where the primary focus is decimating ranks of human beings. Hypothetically, if the rats were attacking the player should the advisable choice be to wait until it claws your eyes out?
And just from a realistic perspective, good luck to anyone who gets the idea to try and stab rats in the back after playing BF3. They're not just sitting around waiting to get knifed, y'know.
Do they want the player in-game to give a little ceremonial rite and a proper burial to every "slaughtered victim" rat? Then again, if the game had you properly euthanizing them by stabbing them with a syringe instead of a knife, they'd be totes okay with that and move right along.

Clearly they're insane. Why can't they... why can't they just stop already? This is what happens when there isn't enough Darwinism active. That's it. We need a new apex predator that is huggable in appearance, but vicious to those who try to defend its right to violate humans with razor sharp claws.lax4life said:

Exactly what I was thinking. I bet they got pretty pissed considering the thousand or so rats you must kill to get through the depths.EcksTeaSea said:

I think the developers of Super Meat Boy said it best:"How many PETA members does it take to screw in a light bulb? Doesn't matter, PETA can't change shit."
you got to be shitting me.
ALLOT of games offer you the option to kill small animals (for example crows in FONV) and THIS is where they draw the line?

Oh, it's all well and good to go on a crusade for all the mistreated rats in videogames, BUT HOW WILL WE DEFEND OURSELVES FROM THE MUDCRABS?! SKYRIM IS ALMOST OUT!
They're an advocacy group. Of course they're taking this opportunity to get in the news.
That's their job.
That's their job.
And juvenile diabetes advocacy groups don't care about spousal abuse? There are already institutions in place that deal with humans who victimize other humans. PETA's got its own mandate. The institution is built to campaign for animal rights.RachaelHill13 said:

MADD does its thing.
The frigging NRA does its thing.
Why do we have to act retarded when it comes to PETA?
I wish Peta wasn't filled with nut jobs, because I really do love animals and am for the ethical treatment of animals, but I would never join Peta because of the amount of crazy connected to their organization.
Do those animals really look tasty to you?ACman said:Ahh PETA. Your lack of sanity matches only Birthers, people who use homeopathic medicine and supporters of of Rick Santorum.
Nomnomnom.
I'm sure they'd smell tasty. Chinese roast pork! Guruuurururlrlrlrllllll!TheVioletBandit said:Do those animals really look tasty to you?ACman said:Ahh PETA. Your lack of sanity matches only Birthers, people who use homeopathic medicine and supporters of of Rick Santorum.

That he is. PETA are little more than a source of amusement, and this instance is no different.jurnag12 said:
Guys, don't you understand? PETA is right, we shouldn't be killing rats, we should be helping them and feeding them instead. This is how it should be done.
