mermaiddeathsquad.com The video is based on the hit 8-bit video game "Shark Vs.Mermaid Death Squad," which Greenpeace designed to highlight the unsustainable fishing practices of the three major U.S. tuna brands, Chicken of the Sea, Starkist, and Bumble Bee. In the video, mascots from all three brands chase a sea turtle through supermarket aisles while horrified shoppers look on. When the game launched in late March, the Huffington Post immediately declared it a "viral" hit after it spread widely over social media with tweets from Mark Bittman, Jared Leto, and Games For Change, as well as write-ups on the gaming sites for Gawker and Vice. Over the past few months, users have continued to play and share the game, raising awareness of how tuna companies and supermarkets are hurting our oceans.
