Yup... PETA has some seriously savvy PR people working for it and its love of saving things that are non-human animals from being turned into coats. "Zeitgeist!" that's the keyword at PETA Towers. "Super Mario!" someone else yells.
And we end up with this gruesome and offensive image of poor Mario covered in blood! If you can bear the soundtrack, which appears to have no off button, then go and look at PETA's Super Tanooki 2D Skin online game.
"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. Play Super Tanooki Skin 2D and help Tanooki reclaim his fur!"
Is the message.

Peta have a lot of celeb supporters and a lot of money to spend.
But when have their campaigns actually achieved anything?

This is ridiculous. It's a game, and I highly doubt any 7 year old out there are immediately going to want to grow up and become a "tanuki" poacher for there Fur. I grew up with Mario and his "fur" suit, and I don't own any Fur. Nor does anyone in my family... leather, yes. ;)
