Smack The Pingu Causes Upset With Wildlife Preservationalists

The Chairman of the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) made a public announcement to various press officials this morning, seeking public support to get the fast spreading internet game Smack The Pingu banned and a lawsuit filed against the producers of the game.

In her press appearance she quoted the game as "a violent, blood thirsty, sick-minded excuse for entertainment" and continued to say that the game was "a reflection of the warped sense of humour of the younger generations of our time".

The game consists of a small penguin falling out of a shute, and being hit with a club held by a yeti. The aim of the game is to hit the penguin as far as possible. The follow up to the Smack the Pingu game is much the same, except the yeti's club is covered nails or spikes, and the penguin lands on mines to propel it further.

Her outrage follows reports that the game Smack The Pingu has become so popular that it is no longer just a computer game, and is rapidly becoming a recognized, if not highly illegal, sport. Of course penguins are not rapidly available, but this has not stopped the growing popularity of the blood thirsty passtime.

For instance, various animal shelters across Great Britain have received curious and alarming phone calls soon after the release of the game. One concerned citizen claimed she "heard some kind of animal, maybe a cat, screeching as if it was falling or being strangled" she then heard a "dull thudding noise" followed by a male voice shouting "733!!! That's the furthest yet!".

In France there have even been reports of Smack The Frog being played by children in school playgrounds. Tourists through the Sahara Dessert were invited to play a game of Smack The Rock. Presumably this is due to the lack of animals, and the abundance of rocks. After the release of the box office hit, Finding Nemo (Pixar) pet-stores around the world have noticed a substantial rise in the number of small fishs purchased. This rise in fish sales exactly coincides the huge rise in the number of baseball bats bought from sports equipment stores, and we have to admit, this may be more than just coincidence. Also, a source has informed me that Smack The Sheep has been attempted in Wales, but wasn't as succesful as the other versions of the game.

So please, the next time you go to play Smack The Pingu, consider the poor helpess fish, cats, mice, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and rocks that may lose their lives because of this seemingly harmless fun. Thank you.
