Area Bird Claims He Is ‘Not Angry’

A local birds’ rights group is up in arms (wings?) this evening because the hit video game Angry Birds was recently brought to their attention. The group, Friends of a Feather, was notified of the game’s existence when one of its members complained that he was being unfairly characterized by co-workers as ‘angry’ just because he bore some resemblance to the birds in the game.

“We were shocked to learn about the existence of Angry Birds. It perpetuates complete falsehoods about the nature of these majestic and loving creatures,” said FoF spokesperson Anna Kulpauer, adding that Frank, the bird who complained to the group, is “not an angry bird.”

It seems unfathomable that the organization is only just now hearing about a game that is 3 years old and has had over 1.7 billion downloads. Nevertheless, FoF plans to mount a full media campaign later this year to fight what it says are nasty bird stereotypes.
