PETA Perverts Poor Lil' Majesco Mama

PETA, animal rights group, created their own playable rendition of Cooking Mama complete with guts and gore. This is not a new tactic but results in a bloodied-up version of a loveable Nintendo kid's game.

PETA's newest incarnation is standard fare for the organization; take usually innocent or sacred things, and use them to make a point. PETA's effectiveness peaks in documentaries, like the one attached as a bonus for completing a playable and gruesome rendition of the Majesco kid friendly Cooking Simulator. PETA titles the game: "Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals" The real-life bonus is grim but factual. The documentary footage of the treatment of farm turkeys is atrocious and actually quite hard to watch.

But PETA creates confusion with often misdirected metaphors and satire. Satire can be confused, as when taking a mostly kid's game and turning it into a playable horror film; or when PETA compared the butcher of cattle to the Holocaust, their most infamous ad campaign.

PETA's Joel Bartlett:

"Why is PETA picking on poor Mama? Because Majesco's game is so heavy on dishes that are made from dead animals that the only things missing are the blood and gore. So, in the name of accuracy and honesty, PETA has decided to introduce a little horror to Mama's kitchen.

"In the original version, players score points for assembling a meal. That also applies in PETA's parody, but with this Thanksgiving dinner, players also must go through the motions of plucking the turkey's feathers, pulling out the bird's intestines and cutting off the animal's head. All the while, a demonic cleaver-wielding Mama takes delight in the agony. When the player beats the game, Mama has a change of heart and replaces her bloodlust with a craving for tofu-turkey.

"We're having a bit of fun at Mama's expense, but there's nothing funny about the suffering endured by turkeys and other animals who are killed for food, with all the delicious vegan alternatives available, there's no need to make the carcass of a tormented bird the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving table."

  This is really obnoxious, I wouldn't have a problem with it if they weren't forcing their opinions on people as hard as they are. It's all just a load of propoganda.
