PETA Continues To Suck

Mama kills animals! Delicious animals!
Did you know that eggs bleed when you crack them open? Or that they occasionally have feathers in them? Those are just a couple of the stupid faux-scare gross-out tactics that the group PETA is employing in its pathetic Flash game attempt to educate people about that whole "meat is murder" thing while simultaneously lashing out at the Cooking Mama series with its charged parody, Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals.

Hell, I like Mama more already.

Maybe it's just me, but every time I see these sorts of stupid shock tactics employed by PETA, I want to take it out on a delicious steak. Or perhaps a chicken sandwich. The game itself is a collection of dopey minigames that all feature an angry-faced version of the Cooking Mama herself, occasionally wielding a bloody knife.

Then it'll lay out some tips for you between stages as you prepare a Thanksgiving turkey. Like this gem:

What Mama Never Told You:

In the U.S. almost all birds have their throats slit while they're still conscious, an according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, millions are scalded to death in tanks of hot water.



Hooray! Perhaps you have a point there, PETA, but your militant presentation of the issues ensures that I'll continue to ignore it!

I'm currently on the "remove the head" level. I think I get to saw off a turkey head, dude! Rad!

Joystiq went ahead and embedded the game if you're interested, but it's probably not worth the trip. The image of Mama with bloodlust in her eyes is really all you need to see.
