Stop the Violence, Mario! sincerely, PETA

quote:
When on a mission to rescue the princess, Mario has been known to use any means necessary to defeat his enemy�even wearing the skin of a raccoon dog to give him special powers.

Tanooki may be just a "suit" in Mario games, but in real life, tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur. By wearing Tanooki, Mario is sending the message that it's OK to wear fur.

Lulz.

Lol, true. Nintendo is known for being quite litigious.

Of course, no one says a word when he drapes himself in a frog suit that give him the special powers he needs to do nothing.

No one cares about frogs.

not only that, but he is an armed homicidal, drug-abusing terrorist bomber.

Ingesting hallucinogenics, then violently smashing through bricks while running away from clouds.

Uncle Mario* is not the man you want raising your kids.

This is nothing short of a propagandist smear campaign set forth by the terrorist organization that seeks to supplant the Toadstool Monarchy! Their repeated attempts at Gorilla Warfare - via the employ of one D. Kong - as well as numerous kidnapping attempts in the past few decades have merely resulted in this latest scheme to besmirch the names of the brothers who ceaselessly leap to action at every installment! "King" Bowser, indeed!

that frog suit used to piss me off so much. although, if you beat Bowser in either a Tanoki or Frog suit, Princess said something different!

"No, no, no...we meant it to be FUNNY. Yes, there is a darker side to Mario and by playing it, you're supporting animal cruelty, but we didn't mean for it to be serious, just that you should know that! Hahaha"

Fucking PETA
