PETA Takes Aim at Mario for Wearing Tanooki Suits

Yeah I saw this earlier today and found it to be pretty dumb as well. It's only a matter of time before Nintendo takes action.

Anything to get news coverage I guess. PETA is running out of topics, at least I hope.

Everybody knows that Mario is a furry and he only breaks out the Tanooki suit when he's feeling horny. Also I always thought that the flowers represent weed and the stars represent speed. Lets face it, if it takes 8 tries to find the right castle then you're stoned out of your mind. The next place he needs to go is Super Mario Bros Rehab. Can't Nintendo see that Mario needs help?

PETA is only 21 years late for this to be of any relevance. Between this, Super Meat Boy, and their Cooking Mama outrage, they're just scraping the bottom of the crazy barrel.

Future news of 2025: Prince of All-Cosmos rolls up dogs, cats, and everything and sends them to die in space. PETA is outraged.

Since they didn't mention his constant turtle stomping, I guess I'll go down to the pet shop and have some fun.

TPS Reports to the Priceline guy

If they're pissed about this, then they're really gonna hate how many animals I killed in Red Dead Redemption, simply cause its fun and I made a lot of money by selling their dead asses...

....it's ok to wear fur.

Goddammit I hate PETA so much.

Is it safe to say PETA are just trolling all of us right now?

Yeah, obviously we were thinking it's ok to wear fur (sarcasm). In reality, we all knew a Super Leaf gives us flight.

And flutes played correctly can summon and control tornadoes.

If they wanted tanooki Mario to seem disturbing, all they had to do was show a picture of a Tanuki from Japanese folklore. I'm glad Nintendo opted not to go for the mythological-correct Tanuki.

Thank God they haven't played any Legend of Zelda yet, because hitting a hen with a sword has never been funnier.

PETA would probably cheer for the swarm of hens attacking you.

Those ugly pigs disrupting ma gameplay!

All I'm going to say is if PETA was in charge, we would all die of starvation, and there wouldn't be any cats, or dogs around anymore either. PETA would have us all eating vegetables, the problem isn't that this not only would suck because it'd get boring, but it isn't even possible. There isn't even farmable land on Earth to sustain the human race on plants alone, there is a funny video of this being explained to a PETA spokesperson somewhere, its great. And, as for the cats and dogs comment... PETA puts down more animals than any other orginization on Earth... and they're also anti-pitbull, and are in favor of automatic laws to put pitbulls to sleep. Hypocrisy, gotta love it. The only good part about PETA is Elvira's breasts.

I just played the game.
I can't stand PETA, and this crusade against Mario makes even less sense than most of their protests...
but I have to admit it's not a bad game. There are a lot of terrible Mario rip-off flash games, and this is better. It's simple, but fun.

I wonder if some Flash game designer made this as a dark Mario parody, without any intention of political message, then realized that PETA would pay for it. It's no darker than Koopa Revenge.

Someone wanna tell PETA that they spelled Tanuki wrong lol

I'm a vegetarian, and I can't stand PETA. Their actions make no sense. I hope Nintendo sues the **** out of them.
