Hilariously, as a follow-up to PETA's Super Tofu boy, Team Meat has officially added him as a playable character in Super Meat Boy. Two other things become apparent in that post:
1) Tofu boy sucks as a playable character.
2) A guy from Team Meat actually made several fake forum accounts on PETA's site in an attempt to bring the game to their attention.

So as many of you know, the famed Peta organization took time out of their schedule to make a parody of Super Meat Boy, Super Tofu Boy. Honestly this is a major high point for me personally.
Putting all my cards on the table right now, I actually repeatedly made fake user names in Peta's forum pushing the game at them in hopes something like this would happen, but gave up realizing that Peta wouldn't ever put effort into something "meat related" that was so small and unknown, that's exactly why this parody is so important and eye opening for us.
Peta is 1000 times more well known then Super Meat Boy and the fact that they went out of their way to make a parody like this is beyond flattering and amazingly helpful.
First off I want to thank Peta for helping us turn Super Meat Boy into a house hold name and of course for making themselves look quite foolish in the process... see (as mentioned in countless interviews) Meat Boy isn't made of animal meat, he's simply a boy without skin whos name is Meat Boy.. but sshh don't tell them that.

The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

I think it is, since his official name in SMB is just "Tofu Boy." *NM*
