DAILY MANIFESTO

Super Meat Boy and PETA Fire Shots

Posted on Wednesday, December 1 @ 23:25:27 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

Have you been playing Super Meat Boy? Great fun! I love seeing all those little meat boys running around, dying, exploding, until finally one rises to the top to complete the level.

Of course, PETA has singled Meat Boy out for all the virtual carnage that ensues in level after level of Team Meat's tightly tuned platformer. How?

With Super Tofu Boy! Guide Super Tofu Boy through each butcher-shop-themed level until you feel really terrible and guilty for fulfilling your bodies need for daily protein intake. Then tell all your friends about it until they feel bad.

Super Tofu Boy means ~~fun~~ guilt for everyone!

OK, this isn't too bad. I respect PETA for how diehard they are. I mean, I worked for Greenpeace two summers ago. Nothing extreme! Although they did offer to train us in the ancient art of sabotaging stuff and making a scene out of your everyday pollution scenarios. Anyways, it takes balls to do stuff like PETA does although I don't know how much they're upsetting Team Meat's sales... or Team Meat for that matter.

In fact, I'd say Team Meat is doing just fine. Meat Boy himself tweets "How many Peta members does it take to change a lightbulb?.... None, Peta can't change anything."

Wow.

Frankly, I'm a lot more upset about one key detail a lot of people seem to be overlooking in this whole PETA vs. Meat Boy mess.

Tommy Tallarico... is a vegetarian?!

All those game soundtracks must have some secret subliminal messages in them.

Don't eat beef.... Don't eat beef.... Don't eat beef.

Personified dead meat. Is the meat from an animal? Maybe it died of natural causes. But what does PETA care?

Hey Daniel you should write a feature about sabotaging stuff. Might come in handy one day.

You say PETA has balls, but I've seen a PETA ad that begs to differ:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZuT5mCvki0

They're saying:
1. Treat you pets and your kids the same way.
2. Get you pets spayed or neutered.

What's the logical conclusion that those two positions leads to? Obviously, you should spay or neuter your kids!

The controls aren't nearly as good as Meat Boy's.

Sure, PETA might have a message to say, but the message is pointless if the game sucks.

Not only is that tweet hilarious, but the whole Tofu Boy thing is just laughable. It's one thing to basically be opposed to something, and something else entirely when you utilize the same tactics as your opposition and call it "for the greater good." To me, it just feels like more propaganda, and by extension, bullshit.

I have 0 respect for PETA. They kill something like 2,500 animals a year, then protest any pet shelter that kills one. Watch the Penn and Teller Bullshit episode about them.

@Anyone wondering if the PETA Super Tofu Boy game is any good: It sucks.

Hahaha I don't understand how this is protesting anything. I've played Super Meat Boy and I really... it has NOTHING TO DO with ANYTHING PETA is against. So the main character is a piece of meat. Big deal. That's as far as it goes. That's like them remaking The Matrix because there's one part where they eat a steak.

Wow, I don't know how I thought my second sentence was grammatically correct in the least, let's pretend that didn't even happen.
