Super Meat Boy Spoofed by PETA; Tofu Boy Hooks Up With Bandage Girl
by Xav de Matos, Dec 01, 2010 3:00pm PSTRiding the wave of the breakout success of Super Meat Boy, animal activist organization PETA has jumped in with a spoof title featuring a similarly sized, but vegan-friendly, hero of their own.
Today, PETA launched Super Tofu Boy, a flash-based game featuring some of the more simplistic gameplay found in the Team Meat developed downloadable title Super Meat Boy. In the game, Tofu Boy must save Bandage Girl from her new captor, former boyfriend Meat Boy.
PETA has regularly jumped in to respond to and reward the game industry's treatment of animals, including the development at an over-the-top (and bloody) Cooking Mama spoof, dubbed Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals.
Gamers can grab the free Super Meat Boy spoof for either PC or Mac, as well as play it on PETA's official site. Also, the game allows players to "Pledge to be Vegan," so no more of those Thanksgiving-based shenanigans.

I, and MANY other animal rights activists, HATE PETA. They do not represent us.

The only direct encounter I've ever had with a militant animal rights activist group (it probably was, but I don't remember if it was PETA) was when the released all the mink from a mink farm near where I lived. Guess what happened? The little animals did not run free and live long happy lives. They ran across the highway that was 100 feet away and died in droves. The rest probably became meals for local predators. Regardless, to this day, there are no wild mink near where I live.
Not impressed.
