[quote]The People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals are blasting Nintendo and their beloved gaming plumber Mario over what they claim is a message that it's OK to wear animal furs.
In Super Mario 3D Land, which was released this weekend, one of Mario's many power-ups is a Tanooki suit which grants him the ability to glide across the screen after jumps. The suit looks more like a one-piece jumper or costume than it does a fur, but PETA says the game is sending the wrong message to gamers.
"Tanooki may be just a 'suit' in Mario games, but in real life, tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur," according the the PETA Mario Kills Tanooki website. "By wearing Tanooki, Mario is sending the message that it's OK to wear fur."
On the Mario Kills Tanooki website, players can turn the tables on Mario, taking on the role of a bloody and skinned tanuki chasing a surly Mario as he drifts through his familiar world, a trail of blood dripping from his suit.
"Tanukis are real-life raccoon dogs who are beaten and, as PETA's undercover exposés show, often skinned alive for their fur," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "This winter, everyone can give raccoon dogs and other fabulous animals a 1-UP by keeping our wardrobes fur-free."[/quote]

Clocks for PETA!
mario also wears a frog suit wheres the hate on that?
PETA is so stupid. They're complaining about a game implying that an animal has been skinned so they make a game on their website about an animal actually being skinned.
Have to admit though that the game is kinda fun.

Well Super Mario 3D Land just came out and it uses the suit
PETA should just get the fuck out
they're not helping anyone or anything
This is completely stupid. Why complain about it now? it's been there for years.
nobody cares about frogs
It's funny because PETA kill more animals they take into "care" than any other animal right's organization.
wow.
Just wow.
Seriously Peta?
I really feel that the general public (or those like PETA and video game critics) overestimates the influential powers of video games. I mean, does someone actually play this game and go "Hey, Mario's wearing fur, I should too!"? (Of course there are always a few, though)
Holy [I]shit[/I] PETA will you please fuck off? Do we really have to keep posting all those charts that show just how many millions of animals you've killed?
is there a website where i can show all of my rage?
OK peta is just a joke now.
I am against animal cruelty and whatever, but VIDEOGAMES ARENT REAL LIFE.
stop saying these games like WoW (and pretty much any other fantasy game ever made) are animal slaughter simulators.
and just because they live and breathe doesnt mean that we cant EAT THEM.
I LOVE MY HAMBURGER. when cows start actually thinking like a person and do things like a person i will not eat them. but i dont see that happening anytime soon.
EDIT: and the stuff for the videos they keep using, ITS THE SAME STUFF AGAIN AND AGAIN.
YEAH PEOPLE THIS STUFF HAPPENS. doesnt give you a right to try to make us all weak, useless vegans.
This is like bullshit multiplied by 10^100.

The point is that this suit has been around for ages.

Somehow I think PETA would have done this even if the suit was left out.
"Mario made me turn my dog into a hat."
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that one..
For God's sake PETA, FUCK OFF. I hate how they blast the wearing of fur, especially if it's a hunter who killed it himself for some reason, at least they're using the whole damn animal, unlike you fucks who kill thousands of housepets and burn the bodies or some shit. At least when a hunter kills an animal, they use as much of it as possible, when PETA kills one the entire thing goes to waste. I know people don't like the idea of eating cats and dogs, but for those in need of food if PETA didn't kill them with chemicals, but instead used some other method, their meat could be sent to feed the poor and the pelts could be used to clothe them. People don't like the idea of using hosepets in such a way, but when PETA kills thousands of them a year, that's a lot of fur and a lot of meat wasted, that could be put to use.
[quote]they claim is a message that it's OK to wear animal furs.[/quote]
If you think it's not ok fucking keep your beliefs on yourself. Why fucking tell everyone "not ok not ok fuck off, not ok not ok". Just stfu. I fucking hate PETA with a passion.
It's a miracle of nature that PETA members manage to remember to breathe.
Peta induces sadistic feelings towards animals within me.
If playing Mario means I'll piss off these guys then I'll gladly play it

Goddammit PETA do you really have to be such pieces of shit.
go away peta don't come back
I'm all for saving animals and shit but for god's sake it's A BUNCH OF PIXELS 'N POLYGONS.
The game isn't sending a message and it's dumb to think that Nintendo is trying to implant an agenda into the game.
Also, it's ok to wear furs. Why? Because fur is just atoms. You're just atoms. So when you put on fur, you're just putting more atoms onto your atoms. The people who complain about animal ethics are just abstract fucktards. Your ethics don't exist if the atoms that comprise your body decay away and you're not around to think about them.
I find it funny that their parody of Mario had some of the worst platforming that I've ever seen
