PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has started a new ad campaign targeting the brand new Super Mario 3D Land video game for the Nintendo 3DS.
The group seems to be up in arms over Mario's "Tanooki" racoon suit.
Says PETA:

Does reality & fantasy or the thought of ever using a dictionary cross these peoples mind? But then people have probably told them the same thing for years, so why am I wasting the key strokes when I could be bbq-ing up some road kill.

PETA started out with good intentions now they are stupid as it gets.
All the insecure music/TV/movie celebrities jumped on the bandwagon only to make PETA a mockery. PETA is Scientology of the animal kingdom.

I'm also offended that Sonic has to run around so fast. Hedgehogs aren't supposed to run that fast and will imply that people everywhere will exhaust their pet hedgehogs to the brink of death due to the brand of Sonic video games. </sarcasm>

Funny how easy it is to mix up PETA and PITA...
BTW, nobody tell PETA about the turtles that Mario stomps. They'd go nuclear if they ever found out about that.

So when Mario is kicking Bowser's ass is PETA gonna say that is is promoting abuse on turtles and what about goomba's?
I used to actually respect PETA until the naked dumb asses laying on the street while my kids are around and now this so sad the seem to be coming into the animal kingdom version of the RIAA and MPAA.

Peta and similar should learn to stop ridiculising themselves with these statements. Have you ever heard of faux fur, does not have to be real.

Wow talk about stupid people, it's not like when the suit is put on we see Mario go skin a raccoon and put its hide on. It's a costume and these people are down right nuts.

Sending the wrong message? If Mario was sending the wrong message. Kids would have been eating green mushrooms for extra lives, booting turtles, and hatching strange eggs in hopes of riding a dinosaur years ago.

No one tell them about Fallout New Vegas and the challenge for killing animals with Nukes!
Quote:
You must kill any animal with either a Fat Man or a Fat mine to complete this challenge.
Mutated animals do not count, so only regular animals such as coyotes and all types of dog including NCR and Legion dogs count.
Personally I did it killing birds!
BTW...People are mammals, mammals are animals. What about the cruelty that PETA is imposing on all of the people who have to listen to their crap???

PETA is also against faux fur because they claim in makes fur trendy. Heck they are even against using the fur and skin from animals killed for other reasons...have a cow that died of old age? PETA thinks you shouldn't use the hide. Heck, PETA is even against keeping animals as pets. Crazy bastards...I can guarantee that my cat is happier living her pampered life than struggling for life in the streets.

I got 4 howling fat bastards that WON'T go outside for the mere fact they know where the food bin is & feed them every morning. Darn right They would have something to say to PETA about pets being kept.
