Oh god, I'm going to have to go and belly laugh for a while. Cooking Mama is above lawsuits= priceless.

*Cheers* Now that is slick.

Ugh...

Like anybody cares.

The guy who did that piece of PR deserves a raise, well played indeed.

I don't understand how cartoon violence gets your ideals taken seriously in any event. I mean, it's just funny. If it were disgusting, say, drawn in the style of Rend and Stimpy then there might be a problem.

Who knew Cooking Mama was so great at PR?

Well played, Majesco, well played indeed. Might I propose a new title? Presenting Cooking Mama: Prententious A**holes! With over 50 recipes on how to burn and serve self-righteous activist groups, this game is a blast.

**Disclaimer: Majesco is in full favour of the humane treatment and embarassment of organizations like PETA**

I always wonder what they think we would possibly do with the Turkeys if no one ate them.

Do they really think we wouldn't just wipe out the whole species as soon as we weren't allowed to eat them anymore?

They are domesticated, they can't survive in the wild, the only reason they are kept alive is so we can eat them. If everyone was vegetarian (or worse yet Vegan!) we would just kill all of the cows, pigs, chickens and turkeys. If they are vegan then even the egg laying chickens and milk cows would be killed.

Mama doesn't kill animals, she cooks them
Butchers kill animals.

I'd say PETA got owned, but at this point that's akin to saying they're stupid... Seriously, they just fail at everything. I'm all for animal rights, but even I think someone needs to destroy PETA asap... They do more bad than good.

If I had a hat, I'd take it off to Majesco, and to Cooking Mama herself.
All PETA's stupid parody of the game made me want to do, was eat turkey, and buy Cooking Mama. Is it available for the DS?

Edit: Oh, and I took the "Mama kills animals" wallpaper for my desktop. PETA can suck on that.

PETA obviously have no sense of direction. How is alienating everyone but your own people helping your cause? : /

Majesco, I salute you!

ROFL, if we stop killing them to eat them, that's bad because then we kill them. You managed to use the Jimbo and Ned "We have to kill them or they'll die" defense outside of hunting; well done.

IF we stop breeding them, then there's no animals to kill. Pretty simple really.

Here is the wonderful world of turkey "farming" you all gleefully support:

Occasionally farmers kill animals too.

Is Mama a butcher's/farmer's wife? I don't think it's ever been specified...

That looks DELICIOUS.

Seriously, buy a clue and stop hiding behind your strawman argument. No one's supporting Turkey abuse OR farming in particular- we're saying PETA are borderline Eco-Terrorists who use shock value in incredibly poor taste to try and horrify people into believing like they do, making them no less then the demagogues they gleefully compare US to when they analogize the Holocaust and Chicken farming.

If animals weren't bred for food death by starvation would become a very real possibility in this country. As it is our poorest come very close. In less developed countries it's much much worse, only the wealthy can really eat and forget eating "healthy" or "vegetarian". Welcome to reality- we VERY MUCH depent on animals to sustain society on the scale it is.

You know, the PR guy from Treyarch (Heller, I think his name is), could take some notes from these guys.

Garbage. In India, one of the poor countries you talk about, the majority of people are vegetarian.

Raising animals for food is far less efficient than using the same resources to raise vegan food. It also contributes 18% of all global greenhouse gases, pollutes the environment and contributes to obesity, cancer, heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

This is genius incarnate. Don't fuel the fire, throw some water on it and put it out. Imagine what the world would be like if everybody did this?

Slaughterhouse workers kill animals. Butchers cut them up.

Farmers raise animals to be killed...how far back are we gonna go with this?

Not a majority: http://www.hinduonnet.com/2006/08/14/stories/2006081403771200.htm

Who saying borderline? They ARE Eco-Terrorists.
- Fire bombing medical research buildings.
- Vandalism
- Breaking and entering
- Death threats
- Or funding groups who do those things.

Please. You wanna be vegan? Fine, I don't care. Knock yourself out. But don't commit terrorist acts when people don't 'see' things 'your way'.

PETA should totally make a game out of this: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/06/23/EDG11DC9BK1.DTL

PETA: People for the Elimination of Tamed Animals

Every time I look at PeTA's activities, I can't help but think of how the zombie issue in 28 Days Later got started, which in turn makes me want to pick up an AK-47 and head down to PeTA headquarters.

Then I remember the golden rule of terrorist groups; whenever one of their own gets their due justice at the business end of an assault rifle, that someone becomes a "martyr" and the good guys are painted as murderous monsters.

Can we throw Newkirk into one of those secret Eastern European torture chamber prisons? Please?

I would love to see Majesco turn the tables on PETA - Imagine if in their latest game some jerk is trying to steal ingredients (because it's made from an animal! OMG!), and one of your goals is to get the PETA members to eat and like meat. THAT would be awesome.

Cooking Mama is one of the best games I've ever played

On topic, nicely done Majesco. Your up three ranks in my book.
