Back in January of this year, for about three weeks, I was addicted to Majesco’s Cooking Mama I and II on the Nintendo DS. For some reason, even though I usually don’t care for games like this, I was determined to beat both of them, and I did. I mean, seriously, you just play as Mama and cook different recipes, most of them Japanese-based.

However, I discovered that PETA decided to do a flash game parody — with Thanksgiving coming up and all. It wanted to show the mistreatments that turkeys receive. As the user, you get to play as evil!Mama where you pretend pluck the turkey’s feather, pull its organs out, stuff them, cook them, and etcetera etcetera. I admit, it’s pretty gruesome — making me almost wish I was a vegetarian. After that part of the game, it opens up a new stage where you play as nice!Mama and this time cook a tofu “turkey” dish.

Give it a try here. Honestly, I can say that it seems to work as a pretty interesting propaganda tool. In fact, PETA is also pushing Majesco into making a vegetarian Cooking Mama. Now I think that’s pushing the whole “vegetarian” act a bit too far.
