Cooking Mama Dishes Dirt On Science Papa

Yesterday we pinged Majesco for a comment on Activision’s newly announced Science Papa title for the Wii and DS, only to have Cooking Mama herself reveal her sordid past with the science geek.

We were a bit taken aback by Activision’s choice of names for their new mini-game compilation, but Mama isn’t surprised. After all, she dated Science Papa back when she was Cooking Single Woman.

“So you want some dirt on “Science Papa” to splash on your site? I’ll shovel it. We dated briefly (when he had much better hair). And now he clearly wants a piece of the best-selling pie by associating himself with an incredibly successful, and I’ll emphasise, happily married, woman. Frankly, he never appreciated my cooking and I grew weary of his tedious “experiments.” You want real mind-bending science, go figure out how to make Toulouse Cassoulet for your next dinner party of 20 and let me know how it goes, Papa.

I’m no expert, but I’d say it could very well be on. Let’s just hope Science Papa isn’t even better than Mama at dishing dirt.

    In the words of one of my favorite shows... "NOT THE MOMMA!"

    @Nitro378: This seems like a bit of the inverse. Science Papa demonstrating in front of Cooking Mama, who slaps him and sends him away.

    Note: If you find it unfunny, please reach behind yourself and pull that huge stick out of your ass.

  • Flyhawk

    My hope for this is that Science Papa responds with a press release of his own than the two get caught up in their own fiction and before you know it gaming sites are filled with PR over a non exitent romance. Yeah that'd be awesome.

  • chucklebuck

    @BigJDawg319: I think the Science Papa - Cooking Mama affair is where Imagine: Babyz comes from.

    It's made even better if you imagine saying this in the voice she has in the games. I love it!

    @madammina: Wait...you mean she isn't?

    RidleyTJN

  • RidleyTJN

    @Valnen: I think that was the point of the comic. Some argue Cooking Mama is generalizing/stereotyping/not making a good role model for women. Me and my Girlfriend think the games are pretty fun but we don't read too much into it as I guess others might.

    Rawr!

    @ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...:
    At this point, I'm thinking that not every company should do this. The ones with talented individuals that can produce witty comments, sure.

    Activision, for example? No.

    Oh NO SHE DIN'T!! *Z-snaps*

  • Boudabras

    @Heliophage: Well played.

  • lonecow12

    Man Cooking Mama is a badass. I've been on the fence about purchasing the game for my iPhone. But I'm sold. That kind of PR needs to be encouraged.

    @Komrade Kayce: I'm with you. This is the newer generation-type thinking you'd expect of people getting into the workforce.

    It bothers me when people start working with PR and keep doing the same thing that everyone else is doing.

  • LoopyChew

    @Paradox me: Maybe he wasn't interested in her on a more... base... level.

    @BigJDawg319: Maury only gets involved if Mama and Papa have a lovechild. Or one of the two has a fear of balloons.

    It probably wasn't the taste of Mama's food that put Papa off. Still I blame him: If you want fish to taste good, you have to saute it right!

  • Juan José Méndez Gallardo

    @Heliophage: That was the worst of them all. Shame on you, sir.

    @NeVeRMoRe666: No homo?

    I actually enjoy cooking too. In fact, I've cooked the Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners in my family for the past 17 years and it's usually an 8 to 16 course affair. No homo!

    Science Papa...you've just been served.

    Science Papa responded:

    "I've already had a taste of that 'best selling pie,' and it tasted like fish. You're happily married because your husband clearly lacks taste buds. That's probably why he can stomach your cooking.

    As for 'experiments,' it was once! And your sister was perfectly fine with it."

  • Curse_Lily

    @Nitro378: Don't worry it's just my inner bitch acting up and took thing serious I'm really sorry for it.

    This almost makes me interested in Cooking Mama. ALMOST

    Great answer, Majesco! Love the humor! Just like the PETA response!

    Of course... I hope you realize you'll now get sued by Activision. They have no humor.

    After reading responses from "Mama"...has anybody else felt inclined to just email "her" for the heck of it?

    It doesn't look like there was any.. chemistry.. between Science Papa and Cooking Mama.

    Sorry.

    I dearly enjoy this silly fiction they've wrapped themselves with. I'll take Cooking Mama over Rachel Ray any day.

    Thats some freaky shit.

    With this and their response to PETA, Mejesco are definately one of the best companies to see in an internet "fight"

    After this, and their handling of the PETA, this is some of the best PR handling non-Atlus that I've ever seen.

    Yeah, because a woman's place is in the kitchen and a man's place is in an estimable, fulfilling and often financially rewarding career.
