PETA fights animal cruelty at KFC

Everyone's favorite militant animal rights group PETA has recently launched a video game from their Kentucky Fried Cruelty site that is verging on copyright infringement to Nintendo's Mario series.

As anyone can plainly see, the similarities are quite simple. To make matters worse, there is a third playable character named Pamela Anderson who's sprite resembles Princess Peach.

Also, when starting up the game there is a direct image of both Mario and Luigi, not their chick counterparts. I'm quite curious to see if Nintendo knows about this, and whether or not it was endorsed.

The game itself plays out just like Super Mario Brothers, though the player will occasionally encounter human characters with useful KFC facts like how they remove beaks from chickens and such.

I don't know about you, but frankly I don't care. I'm pro-meat products. And if for some grim reason not having beaks makes my chicken taste better then rock on.

Check out the game here, you get to jump on spiders that have heads that look like Colonel Sanders.
