Pretty Scary, isn't it ?!?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Should be in H&J ( :eek: ) though...

dude, i've always felt something freaky about mario. that's why i never liked to play it as a kid.

That 'Peace flag' is definetley not what it looks, heh. I think it's meant to be a sort of monster-like face or a Koopa shell.

I thought it was supposed to be a skull.

I thought so too.
But I have to admit that it could well be regarded as a peace sign.
And the Stalin comparison is great. :lol:

Well, so was the goomba comparison. What did the goomba ever do? He just waddles back and forth, no threat to Super Mario, who's able to jump and spit fire.

The image on the flag is a Koopa shell. I have no direct proof, like a statement from Miyamoto-sensei to that effect, but I remain positive that it's a Koopa shell.

On the whole, a pretty amusing expose. :)

But if you ask me, the person who wrote it almost seems to be taking it seriously: "Go check for yourself, these pictures are not faked. It's in the f---ing game." Dude, lighten up. You're getting a little too caught up in your own joke. :eek:

I just love this bit, "we can see how expendable the people become when they hinder Mario’s bloodthirsty pursuit for power."

Mario and bloodthirsty pursuit for power in the same sentence. Amazing.

I just put here a link to a site I receive in an e-mail.
But it is worth a few minutes the site, I think...

I've seen this before at CGN. Hilarious. :D :yeah:


"AHHH TURTLE HURTS" :lol:

when thinking about it... super mario bros had same colours as communist propaganda. check the similarity:

One of the funniest things i've ever read.

heh this reminds me of one of my friends from college who is a socialist. One day while a bunch of us were playing Mario 1 for NES (yes MARIO 1) the socialist started raving about how the game symbolizes capitalism. The only thing I remember him saying was how one of the goals is to get as many coins i.e. wealth as possible, therefore capitalism.

I guess Donkey Kong represents U.S. "cruelty" to circus animals to making them do tricks.

apocal:
:lol: what an idiot! :D

i believe they call this a joke site :rolleyes:

I seen this before. If Mario is a Commie, would Luigi be a Capitalist?

Luigi is Brezhnev. Not as bad as Stalin, but pretty bad.

It's all coming together. My love of Nintendo and hatred of Sega. :eek:

It finally makes sense.

What have I become.

<washes hands> Dirt won't come off. ... F*ck it. Happy this way. :)

Wrong forum...moved.

I always knew I had a good reason not to buy a nintendo. I was a sega man myself back in the day. Down with Mario and its propaganda.

Who would ever think Mario was a communist?

I'll throw my Nintendo onto the nearest garbage can...

:(

but.... i liked mario......

whast about Luigi?

This is my favorite picture from this site:
