PETA unhappy about Battlefield 3 rat killing scene

[tpex]

What about Duke Nukem? I was rather surprised when "squeeze" made the rat explode....

 

[shadowfox]

Maybe because Duke Nukem was so bad that nobody in PETA ever actually played it?

 

[matt]

Anyone remember this?

 

[Uberutang]

I put a rat in the microwave in Duke Nukem Forever...will PETA be mad?

 

[matt]

Oh look. People get their children to pretend to kill rats as a party game

 

[matt]

Seriously, if killing a rat that doesn't actually exist is bad, what about cartoons? Plenty of violence against virtual animals there. Poor Tom and Jerry having to try kill each other for the amusement of children. And Elmer Fudd, always trying to kiw da wabbit. Wile E Coyote?

I have an idea. We write the game devs and tell them to replace any and all animals in games with PETA activists.

If they complain we can always just say "Well hey, at least we're not stabbing rats!!"

There's an idea for the new Postal game <3

Although in that case we'll probably have the FOX news "experts" going on about the game.

Y'know ... the Cosmo psychologists.

Can't win, I tell you.

Next up is Greenpeace complaining about the damage to the natural environment

There was a great South Park about PETA...

Freak, this makes me want to post a whole bunch of rats to PETA HQ. Just let them infest their offices....and I'll be the first to slap on the hypocrite label when they get them exterminated.

Just ridiculous!!

Urgh... Tell me about it.

Deep breaths and all that and this too shall pass into the forgotten memories of the darndest things fundamentalists come up with.

Since when are the kind of people that are involved with PETA the same kind of people that play games like BF3? Shame

 

[Deceptor]

What about all the animals we'll be slaying in Skyrim?

I recall Penn and Teller did an episode on PETA.

Skyrim's too complicated for people like PETA. You need to set ... like attributes and stuff ... and choose the best armor and weapons to wear, and craft stuff, and learn spells ... too much too do, too higher grade
