PETA Releases Parody Video Game

In a bid for attention that’s qualitatively inferior to just getting attractive actresses and models to get naked, PETA has released a parody of the video game Cooking Mama: World Kitchen, Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals, the Unauthorized PETA Edition. From the PETA press release:

In the original version, players score points for assembling a meal. That also applies in PETA’s parody, but with this Thanksgiving dinner, players also must go through the motions of plucking the turkey’s feathers, pulling out the bird’s intestines, and cutting off the animal’s head. All the while, a demonic cleaver-wielding Mama takes delight in the agony. When the player beats the game, Mama has a change of heart and replaces her bloodlust with a craving for tofu-turkey. Along the way, players can unlock bonuses such as vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes and undercover footage from a turkey slaughterhouse. PETA also encourages players to contact Majesco to ask for a “Cooking Mama” game with all vegetarian recipes.

Do you know what makes undercover footage from a turkey slaughterhouse look appetizing?

Debora Marcoccio: South Attleboro’s Douchebag

The city of South Attleboro, MA threatened Eileen Wilbur, a blind 74-year-old woman with a $48 lien on her property if she didn’t pay a 1 cent balance.  They spent 42 cents on the stamp for the letter they mailed her informing her of their threat.

“They wasted taxpayer money on the letter,” Wilbur said, noting the 42-cent charge for a stamp.

City Collector Debora Marcoccio (pictured) said the bill was sent out along with more than 2,000 others as the city tries to recoup outstanding balances before resorting to putting liens on property.

Now, we know what you’re thinking.  After finding out about this one cent bill, Deborah Marcoccio, as a decent human being, realized the stupidity of wasting the time and money of Eileen Wilbur and the City of South Attleboro on a one cent bill and waived the whole thing.  Unfortunately, you don’t know what a douchebag Marcoccio is.

“My question is, how come it wasn’t paid when the bills went out?” she said.
In the meantime, the city is holding firm on the amount due.
Marcoccio, who called the whole situation “ridiculous,” said the city will not waive the balance.
“If there’s a bill, it must be paid,” she said.
