While it is sort-of, kind-of understandable how one might, from an extremely biased point of view, see pokemon as promoting animal cruelty, their crusade against Mario's tanooki suit just made no sense. Have they made any parody of the Zelda games yet? I wouldn't be surprised if they went for all three of Nintendo's big franchises.

They went after Cooking Mama instead of Zelda as those Octoroks and Redeads aren't exactly cute creatures worthy of respect in PETA's eyes given that those enemies attack people first.

You're kidding. This just gets worse and worse.

Indeed, that last bit about filing for a divorce made it rather obvious it was satire.

Something tells me that if it were a real story and that ending were true, this would have shown up on the local news as, "Local husband murdered by Wife over video games"

i think a lot of people are just way too trigger-happy with their preconceptions/ideologies and will take any unverified bullshit at face value if it's dressed up convincingly enough

Unfortunately it seems legitimate until I realized that. Still there is the inverse suit of Nintendo suing PETA over the parodies and putting Grimace as a Pokemon. I won't demand a lock for this thread as we can chat about the details of preconceived notions as a new topic to discuss within the thread.

Got it with a note on the bottom of my original post as a now expanded thread for parody news passing as real news as well as PETA.

Yes that is something PETA would say that they want to do is change our ethics, but fortunately this news is a parody.

Sounds like this isn't 'news' and rather is a parody, and as that's the comment coming up repeatedly, let's put it to rest.
