PETA's ‘Fur Hag' Snowball Fight Game
Cecilia Biemann — December 20, 2008 — Pop Culture
Even the meekest of animal activists can now get in on the ‘fur hag’ pelting action thanks to PETA’s holiday snowball fight game.
The game awards players 10 points for pelting Madonna, 25 points for pelting Donna Karan, and 50 points for pelting the Olsen twins.
Snowballs poised, get ready to move that mouse quickly as these virtual ‘fur hags’ are fast movers. Be careful not to hit granny or the blonde as doing so will cost you 50 points.
When you are done pitching snowballs at female celebrities, feel free to pop across and throw shoes at Bush.
