disgustingly stupid PETA campaign

[rtil]

what they should have done was make a game where you play as a tanooki and beat the shit out of the people who are trying to skin you alive (not mario). nobody likes animal abusers. but no, they had to demonize mario, a universally recognized and loved character.

[Sinitron]

what they should have done is quit while they're already way behind on everything

nobody likes peta

[Gladius]

why quit? this publicity probably lines their wallets

and if not they probably get government funding anyway

i kinda think that they probably were honestly being sarcastic. it's doubtful that the people at peta are that stupid and internet gossip is incredibly unreliable

i know first hand what it's like to parody something and have people totally freak out about it. i made a parody about coheed and cambria and also their newest album, and even though i actually like the band (excluding their last album), some people didn't seem to get the joke, and i got a ton of death threats and insults.

the difference between peta and i is that i don't mind the misconceptions because they lead to humorously extreme/unwarranted responses. peta has a "reputation" to protect (not that anyone respects peta anyway, regardless of whether or not they deserve respect) and the misconceptions/negative reactions could hurt it.

anyway you shake it, this whole campaign thing was really poorly executed.

peta has a reputation as eco-terrorists and animal murderers

their very existence is proof of their neverending stupidity and hypocrisy

there's a ton of shitty organizations parading around claiming to be good guys

[cipher]

They've been claiming it was a joke all along, but I think they are just trying to cover up for the fact that they are retarded

[logen]

peta has a reputation as eco-terrorists and beastiality freaks

fixed

[Sinitron]

actually pet rescue services etc apparently hate the shit out of PETA because most animals they 'liberate' end up having to be killed

[Kooh]

Peta is still relevant nowadays?

[DrRumack]

Peta is still relevant nowadays?

only once every other year really

they're really grasping for relevance  though
