I can't wait until Nintendo hears about this. :)

HOW DARE YOU ABUSE GRASS LIKE THAT
THAT CHICKEN AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE STEPPING ON IT PETOP PETOP PETOP (people for ethical treatment of plants) /sarcasm | |
What's bizarre is how good this game is. It's really polished and well done. Whoever made this certainly wasn't a moron- which makes it strange that he'd (or her!) would ally him/herself with PETA in the first place.

My stance on vegans/vegetarians etc is the same as mine on religion. I don't care what you do, just don't involve me. The only real problem I have is with the poachers hunting nearly extinct animals. Tigers for example. Those guys need an active grenade shoved up their rear end... | |
I'm sure nintendo knew about it.
Oh, and to everybody saying PETA is out of line: They aren't telling KFC to shut down or anything; they are just telling them to knock off the needless cruelty. For example, there is certainly no reason why they need to set the stunner so low that the chickens are seared alive/awake. The only thing I disagree with is the cutting off of the beaks. Yeah, it's cruel, but you couldn't really run farms that large without doing that to protect the employees. That said, PETA is still full of morons. But they have a point. | |
Nintendo probably won't do squat- it's parody after all.
I prefer PETA's nudity campaigns. They had a few down the corner from my office. Hawt nekkid vegan chix. Rawr! | |
I never cared for PETA, they are crazy activists who believe that their way is the only way and will go to no end to try and prove that. They don't give a damn about anyone. They don't care about your culture or your religion, if you eat meat or use animals for entertainment you are evil.
I don't like that, I don't like it at all. I mean, I believe that animals should be treated well, but that doesn't give PETA the right to trample all over everyone else to archive their own goals. They have no respect for cultural differences. A lot of the people who are associated with PETA are the same people who would pour paint all over a fur coat, or injure innocent people to save animals. I am sure if they could, they would use physical force to make people listen to them. We had this big thing were I live, were these old people got a bunch of cats and killed them in their van, they got caught dumping them in a dumpster and were arrested. They argued that they were saving the cats from the ravages of age and animal shelters. In the end, they only got fined for improper disposal of the animal carcasses. I love how Maddox busted their balls awhile back, if you go on their website, you can find an article that argues very well with most of PETA's statements. | |

they will problems twist it as mario (Mario is a fat Italian plumber) eats meatballs Ignoring the fact that Mario is friends with a mushroom, too! Regardless, Italians are all evil. They slaughter the sacred Pastapig in droves just to procure their precious traditional foodstuffs. | |

Sued != win. You have to prove your claims. I don't know that Weird Al has ever been successfully sued.
And it's not a "loophole"- it is the law. US copyright protection has specific exceptions for parody. | |

As much as I dislike PETA, I wouldn't care about your culture or religion if you were doing something I thought was wrong. I really wouldn't expect them to accept them as cultural differences and religious beliefs. Your god believes women should be treated as property? Your god is wrong. Oh, it's part of your culture? Time for your culture to change. You wouldn't let me get away with being a jerk to you simply because I come from a long line of jerks, or because I believe it's right to be a jerk. | |
In this case, though, it's hard to claim it is a parody of Mario, and it could easily be considered slander. Basically they are using Mario directly for marketing purposes. This is, normally, illegal. I didn't actually read the text, but the fact that Mario shows up means that people might assume that there is a positive relationship between PETA and Nintendo. Which would be completely false.
