Ugh, peta. Giving us veggies and vegans a bad name since god knows when. Pamela Anderson? Is that really the best they could do?
Hm, if you get past the first level, Mario turns up in the next cutscene. Copyright infringement surely??
I was played up to level 4. Then I couldn't take anymore. The craving for one of those KFC bowls was so overwhelming I couldn't take it anymore!
Why, oh why, did PeTT beat up Mario? Didn't they know he was on his way to save Pam Anderson?
Blind fools! All of them!
Blind fools! All of them!
I feel equally disgusted when cockroaches are being smashed, or grasshoppers are deepfried alive.
Why do they talk about growing chicks while at the same time giving you a box of smileyfaced hormones to grow your chick character to Super Chick???? And why glorify Pamela Anderson as a princess? *brain explodes*

Hmm, pretty smart there Mario. Looks like he finally figured out saving Peach is never going to get him any. With Pam Anderson it's practically guaranteed!

I could go on a rant about PETA. A rant about how they use terrorist tactics and propaganda. But it looks like it's all ready been handled.
So wait, are they mocking themselves with the whole PeTT thing? I mean, dude, Mario was going to go help their cause, and they kicked the crap out of him.

When one of those Sander-bots gets you, does he turn you into a delicious and affordable chicken sandwich?
Now that's a game I could get behind.

@Tristero: he is the final boss!
I gave it up though, couldn't handle the hypocrisy of collecting small chicks for "extra lives". If you liberate 100 chicks, you will then process them into a new life? W T F.

I was played? LOL. Damn, I am tired!
@Sterling: How dreaded of you! I hope you're reminded of the horrible KFC facts that lingered within the flash game as you eat that chicken!
Mmmmm...

What can I say? I like fried chicken.

They kept putting "I am not a nugget" stickers on everyone at the Warped Tour this year. Guess what? If I have my way, you WILL be a nugget, now STFU and leave me alone to eat my damn beakless chickens.
When are the Citizens for the Liberation of Itinerant Tree-dwellers going to release a game? Something tells me they could make good use of Pam Anderson as well.
BTW - enter the code GOPAM! to play as Pam Anderson

I agree with PETA a lot, a great deal of the time. Being a vegetarian/vegan is a very healthy, enviro-friendly lifestyle. It's very commendable and I frequently think of being vegetarian again (was for a few years, am not now). But I swear to fucking god, PETA more than anything makes you hate them. Their tactics are terrible, they're close minded beyond belief and I absolutely can't stand them. They frequently do more harm than good. Good cause, terrible way to promote it.
PETA are extremist idiots who use shock tactics and gullible celebs to promote their agenda. They give legitimate animal welfare organisations a bad name.
@ unstoppablejuggernaut
There have been plenty of news stories reported about Peta killing animals they've "rescued" because they, in there words I believe, "didn't have the room for them and left their decomposing bodies in trash bags in a garage. That's Peta.

@Juggernaut
Don't let it rile you up, your own personal choices that don't affect others aren't worth debating, whether you eat meat or not. Peta is just another example of how extremist point of views can cause damage, regardless of the fact that I agree with their core message. Personally I think that in a smaller society it may be natural to eat meat, if reared, killed and prepared with respect. However, the suffering, pollution and waste caused by mass farming is not natural and damaging, and therefore I avoid it. Every veg-type has their own reasons for being so, but blanket, extreme views such as Petas don't tend to help anyone, they merely become exclusive in nature and provoke/antagonise those who disagree.
People are free to make their own choices, which I'll respect to whatever degree they respect my own. The best way to avoid the kind of cruelty that does go on is through education. If people really knew what they were eating and the process by which it arrived, plastic wrapped and ready to go, they would then be able to make a more balanced and rational choice.
So to wrap up this ramble, I urge any of you who have commented to do a little research on the matter if you have not done so already, and take the information you uncover into account before posting statements based on hearsay or the assumption that your opinion is being attacked. Likewise, stereotyping people who choose to eat or not to eat meat is mostly pointless. I'm a bodybuilding, bushcrafting vegan, and I'm sure juggernaut is just as un-emo in a whole other way.
Most importantly, I'd rather eat my own cat alive than play this shit again. It makes me embarrassed more than anything else.
(Oh and Juggernaut, thanks for the live invite, we'll have a game soon, off to the forest this weekend but in the week sometime would be great!)

Morrius and Robotplague pretty much summed it up for me: I agree that animals should be treated with decency and respect and aren't playtoys to be ignored and mistreated, but I also agree that PETA does more harm than good.
WWF ftw.
WWF ftw.
I don't eat meat or fast food, but this game made me laugh quite a bit. They keep saying things like "KFC doesn't care aout chickens' FEELINGS". Feelings? Since when can chickens feel joy or show gratitude? Right, since NEVER. Idiots.
And they said it's cruel to not sedate them before they cut their heads off. Why waste the money? They're dead before they even know they're in danger.
They only reasons I don't eat meat/fast food is that it's not very healthful, and that it's not eco-friendly. I haonestly couldn't care less about the life of a cow, pig, or chicken. PETA and its supporters are all insane...

Give me 100 stout men from the Popeye's and Harold's Chicken franchises, and we'll lay siege to PETA's "headquarters". Note that I quote the headquarters, since terrorists operate from cells, and not a HQ.
I still find it unbelievable that PETA funds domestic terrorists and they STILL have tax-free status.

Fuck, I'm trying play this game, but my fingers are sticking to the keys... Damn honey barbecue sauce.
PETA does not have a monopoly on caring about the suffering of living things, so it's unfortunate to see the misconception that if you give a shit you must be a PETA freak/terrorist/nazi.
I am not particularly sensitive about the topic of animal suffering, but it is really unfortunate to read something like Mr. Sterling's revolting admission that hearing about chickens having their beaks cut-off is "more hilarious than horrifying".
Wishing to see less suffering in the world, both in humans and animals, requires no affiliation. For some, it is a way of life. (Please bear in mind that suffering is not related to death. An animal can be used for human consumption and still live a full life, free of unnecessary pain)
Trash PETA all you like, but to reject the very notion that living things (including humans) deserve respect, well, that is a topic I am sensitive about. This must be a much sadder world than I imagined.
Lastly, I don't really think that anyone who has commented objecting to animal rights did so with true conviction. Perhaps anger, but not conviction. Examine your own sheep-like mentality before criticizing others'.

@Mistermingo
If the argument is whether or not an animal should be subjected to suffering, you have to know what to take into account. You wouldn't say intelligence for instance, unless you can genuinely say you'd eat a baby/retard burger without any qualms.
When talking about suffering, the one single factor to take into account is how acutely the subject will experience that suffering, any other factor is a very distant second. It's well known that the nervous systems of all developed creatures we consider part of our diet are exceptionally well developed. This would of course mean that a chicken, cow, pig etc would feel any pain inflicted on them at least as well as a human would. Does the fact that they cannot understand the 'why' negate the existence of that pain? This is where the true debate begins.
I personally do not have an aversion to death, I believe it to be a natural part of life. However to spend your entire lifespan, being and consciousness, confined to a dark cell without enough room to turn around, or in some cases stand up, is a nightmare I wouldn't wish on anyone or anything. I'm sure the moment of systematic, sharp violence is quite welcome after several years of living in those conditions having never known anything else, and having never been able to live in a way close to that 'intended' by nature.
Incidentally, it's well known that chickens are highly social creatures. They comprehend cause-and-effect relationships and understand that objects still exist even after they are hidden from view, which puts the cognitive abilities of chickens above those of young human children. Whether or not they feel emotions as we understand them is unknown, I would hope they don't for their sake. I would expect that their wordless, simple minds still recoil from pain and desire to avoid it, just like any other developed animal would (take humans for instance).
I object to begin called an idiot under any circumstances. In this case especially, I must protest. I'm actually studying for a degree in Zoology and Animal Behaviour, so if you do fancy a debate on the particulars of animal physiology, behavioural patterns and emotive capacity, I'm your man.
You're bang on about the health aspect though.
MOAR!!!!!!!!!!

I think everyone else has left, we're just beating each other off now... :)
If you are interested in further reading on the morality and ethics of the situation, I strongly suggest this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Liberation-Peter-Singer/dp/0060011572
It's not perfect by any means, but it's an excellent place to start, it's not preachy and doesn't feature any guesswork, the writer is a very respected authority on ethical philosophy (whether the subject be animals, humans, politics, social psychology etc).

Someone seriously needs to tell Nintendo about this. (Dtoid, you wanna shoot an email to your Nintendo peeps - lawl, "peeps" - and see what's up, maybe?) It has Mario, Toad, Yoshi, and Peach and, unless Nintendo is in on this, it's GOT to be illegal.
And frankly, I would be quite happy if dumbass PETA got a lawsuit over this. I seriously hate the damn organization. I'm all for people not kicking puppies and such, but they're just a bunch of self-righteous, hypocritical assholes. And that's a Christian saying that, guys. :)

Hey, the bible also said that man was free to use animals as we wish. Nevermind though, it's a masterwork of contradiction and irrelevance, if you ask me. There is no way I'm getting into this one though, at least not in a thread that started with a post about a jumping chicken sprite.
