"Bro Cruelty" parodies Sarah McLachlan's sappy animal welfare PSA

BuzzFeed posted this pretty good parody of Sarah McLachlan's animal welfare PSA by Socially Awkward:



The original:

PETA wishes Americans a Crappy Thanksgiving

Newser says NBC refused to air this ad. Which is stupid, because unlike PETA's usual shock and T&A tactics, this one is fairly sophisticated:



I am not a vegan, and I am not against eating meat. But I still agree that factory farming and processing of animals is cruel and disgusting.

PETA brings you Bloody Mario

You've got to hand it to PETA. Their creativity is as boundless and their shamelessness.

This time, they're after Super Mario:

"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!"

In this version of the game (complete with infuriating MIDI-type music), you are the skinned raccoon dog, chasing after a flying Mario, dripping blood from your flayed pelt he has wrapped himself in. Fun for the whole family!

Enjoy the game here.

F'd Ad Fridays: A very scary FEMEN Halloween protest (nudity)

Wasn't this a scene in Heavy Metal?

What's scarier than having FEMEN show up bare-chested and screaming to protest your mistreatment of animals? How about FEMEN showing up bare-chested and screaming, wearing animal masks, covered in blood and flinging raw meat at you?

That's what happened to the keepers at Kiev’s ZooPark, where Animal NY reports the animals have been dying from inadequate feeding, shelter from the cold, and vet care.

It's in Ukrainian, as usual, but I'm sure you'll still get their points.
