The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) organization has sent Omnimaga a cease and desist notice for lobster mistreatment. The notice stated that our continued torture of lobster animals and usage of them as fighting weapon is unethical and inhumane and that we have to stop now, otherwise legal actions could be taken.
Since this is a false accusation due to a misunderstanding from their part, we have countered the notice, proving that the so-called mistreatment of animals has never occurred and that the written messages on Omnimaga website talking about such usage of lobsters were simply pure jokes in reference to a local meme calling one of our forum member a blue lobster.
Omnimaga will never encourage animal mistreatment. The whole matter has been solved by now and we should (hopefully) be fine.

Who be mistreating Nethams?
First we get a DMCA, then we get attacked by the PETA! :P
What will be next????
-
Umm... Now do we eat Netham45? :P
EDIT: Ninja'd Maybe we'll get a warning from Planter's Peanuts. :P (I know that was terrible)
-
I didn't know it was possible to mistreat Nethams. Wouldn't they just come for you?
FBI or Homeland Security will probably come asking questions next. At least thats who always asks me questions.

/me drops the lobster he was holding like a gun
Oh... Yeah that's pretty bad. How could we mistreat lobsters? We love lobsters!

If anyone starts investigating again, we should all use Lobster Rage Fist on them. :P

What are the peanuts for? I didn't think lobster ate them? ???
-
Exactly. The peanuts are to ward away lobsters so that they do not report us again.

No, we don't want to ward away lobsters. We like the lobsters. Right little lobster... Here little lobster... here boy, come on...

No, wait, that lobster is a girl!/me looks on in horror as graphmastur is devoured by the righteously angry lobster.

Attention Omnimagians.
I have been notified that Netham is attempting to stage a forum-wide rebellion with his Infamous Lobster Army. Netham seeks revenge for the years of mistreatment that we have been doling out to His Lobsteriness.
We have no chance to defend ourselves. We have no ability to quell the righteous fury that the Great Pincers of God shall unleash upon us. Let us beg for forgiveness and cry out for our salvation as he and he alone can spare us of his wrathful Death-Whiskers!

Before I go buy Halo, I just found this (http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=168133#168133) about PETA on Cemetech earlier
http://ingame.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/14/8802690-peta-attacks-nintendo-over-fur-wearing-mario?GT1=43001
Seems like a lobster-related PETA lawsuit on Omnimaga might not be so fake anymore one day... O.O
-
O.o
-
Chocoboes aren't "animals" right? I can still abuse them on my GBA, correct?
-
XD
-
Is this serious? :P
How did netham become a "lobster"?
Unless he's really a lobster that can type and read O.O
-
Is this serious? :P
[...]
Nope. The joke started on this thread (http://ourl.ca/3153). Yes, I contributed to it, but it was Netham45 who added explosions and pink names to his trademark. For all other lobstery goodness, try typing in "Netham is a lobster" in the Omnimaga search bar.
You still need to worry about Netham's Infamous Lobster Army. He actually has one, you know. That, and all of Omnimaga runs on his servers (IIRC).

Yes. He is an intelligent lobster.

Wow, PETA is becoming more like PITA. :P
But... Wow. Certainly no one there has ever played Mario. :S
Else they'd understand the entire concept of the game. :D

oh, PETA. :P
-
Seriously, though, what's next? Is the PETA gonna sue Blizzard for showing animals getting killed, arguing that zerglings looks like dogs, ultralisks buffalos and mutalisks birds and that Starcraft promotes mindless animal killing in masses and nuking them is heartless?
-
Speaking of which, I think I heard Nintendo saying it was OK to kill Tanookis for their fur. Like in SMB3 and Super Mario 3D Land.
-
Are humans considered animals?
-
When I saw the notice in irc with "PETA sends cease & desist lett" as the topic, I thought about http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/peta-slams-mario-over-fur-suit-211025773.html (http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/peta-slams-mario-over-fur-suit-211025773.html) because I just read it.
-
Oh, no. This one's about lobsters. (netham)
-
That reminds me, I forgot if this fake news was initially posted as a parody of a similar PETA stunt that previously occured or just in reference to the Omnimaga lobster inside joke. I kinda wish I waited before posting it, as it would have been funnier if it was a direct reference to the Nintendo thing.
EDIT: After re-reading the posts in the first page, I think the fake news was a bit in response to this (http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu233/mrjerkface/Lobster-Rage-Fist-an-instructional-.gif).
On an off-topic note, am I supposed to be able to split topics in the news section?? ???
-
Have you played "Super Tanooki Skin 2D"?
http://features.peta.org/mario-kills-tanooki/ (http://features.peta.org/mario-kills-tanooki/)
-
Nope, I never did. I might try it at one point for fun. :P
-
Is it just me or is it like The Impossible Game.. :P
-
I tried it, it's so damn hard... Or it's me who fails hard at this.
-
conclusion: raccoon can never get its fur back. Mario wins the battle.

Over time the mario char gets closer and closer, eventually it's possible to tackle it :P

Is it me or has lobster talk decreased noticeably since this "news"? O.O People definitively are more careful with nethams now!
