What's so weird about this? I heard D.A.R.E. went after Toad for encouraging kids to eat shrooms worldwide.

Maybe they should have posted it through theonion.com, they now say it was supposed to be a joke.

wtf kinda joke is that??


I mean, granted, there's been dozens of times where I've been hanging out with friends and just busted out this ol' doozy:

"Hey guys, what happens when Mario gets the feather in Super Mario Bros. 3??

Give up??

ANIMAL CRUELTY!"



Real crowd-pleaser, that one. Really 'brings down the house'.

It would be more apparent that it was a joke if PETA didn't go so overboard on so many other things. When someone does a lot of stupid things, it's easy to believe they did something else that's stupid.

I guess it was probably a joke as well, but they also recently claimed that the whales at Sea World were slaves and should be set free....

Not once, never ever, has an animal ever called my home in an attempt to sell me shit that I don't want, or need. Based on that fact alone: animals > people.

A degree of OTT methods are perhaps sometimes required to try shake existing embedded perceptions maybe - the main one being 'we're humans - therefore it's ok to use/kill/eat other lifeforms'.

The way I see it, survival-considerations aside, we all have equal rights to life and the pursuit of happiness (ALL of us, not just human beings) - Humans are the only species on the planet that stomp all over this 'treat others as you would have them treat you' paradigm.

From THAT particular angle, whales, dolphins, creatures 'kept' at a zoo are enslaved - do they stay there with their own consent? Are they free to leave?

PETA using the Anti-Slavery legislation was a way of achieving an end to that and almost more importantly raising/changing consciousness about the whole practice of animal enslavement in general.

Was it over the top, or a little on the extraordinary side, as a method? Perhaps - but if the playing-field were genuinely level, such modes of expression would not be required - the fact is that Big Agriculture and Washington constitute a massive movement/force advocating (to protect and enhance profits) the meat industry, all the while hiding what really goes on, to get an innocent calf, chicken, sheep, pig from it's mother to the dinner plate (polystyrene fast-food box) - in essence, the 'game' is rigged before the start-whistle even goes - and in a rigged game, complaining about a lack of fair-play really doesn't make any sense.
