PETA Takes Fur Hags in Virtual Snowfight

In its ongoing mission to condition otherwise-normal citizens into forming violent knee-jerk reactions toward people that wear fur or (le gasp!) eat animals, PETA’s created this holiday snowball game.

It’s sorta like hitting groundhogs with a hammer, except you’re pitching snow at “fur hags” like Madonna (10 points), Donna Karan (+25) and the Olsen Twins (+50!). But watch out for Grandma and Generic Blonde! Hitting either of them could cost you 50 points apiece.

Idle good times. Just wish my mouse moved faster. Oh, and while the game is characterized as a “snow fight,” nobody else throws snow back at you, which I thought was funny, because, you know, zealous institutions always see antagonists where none exist.
