PETA targets Mario, we challenge the facts
Look, we like seeing an organization desperately flailing in an ill-fated attempt at relevance as much as the next site, but this time PETA has gone too far.

Tofu Boy being added to Super Meat Boy PC in next patch
Team Meat has cheekily responded to yesterday's PETA Super Tofu Boy parody by announcing that it will add the soy-based protagonist as a downloadable character in the next Super Meat Boy PC patch. The character will only be available on PC, since the XBLA can't be patched in the same fashion. In...

Help PETA fight seal hunters in World of Warcraft
Despite years of PETA's crusading, animals are still completely edible and, in many cases, delicious.
