Schwaltzvald Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 and seemed to rough him up pretty good though I doubt they got much. Doesn't help they had one other guy acting as lookout for them with his face shown on the camera... http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2009/11/11/2009-11-11_wanted_in_halloween_assault_not_so_super_mario_and_his_brother_luigi_in_cabbie_b.html I have to admit though I at the video.

Kanthos Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I wonder how long it'll be before a petition is started to ban the 'obviously violent Mario games that are influencing our children'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwaltzvald Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 God, I hate it when people molest good role models with this shit. I'm furious. Isn't it a given it's a couple of muggers that just happen to use the disguise as an ingenious, if not impractical, way to lose the police? The witnesses did nothing, they probably knew despite the get-up the focus will be on that instead of the actual mugging. Not to mention their faces were not revealed at all. What are the chances that the muggers even thought about that the event of being recorded it would spin off the parody vid that was just linked on this thread..?

Lyrai Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 lol Mario and Luigi role models ? You mean you never looked up to them on how to properly eat a mushroom or stomp on turtles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm going to go ahead and say that I really don't like people giving my childhoold heroes a bad name. For shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm relieved to see that this is a news clip, and not nintendo's next big title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajax Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I'm relieved to see that this is a news clip, and not nintendo's next big title. Would certainly be an odd way for Big N to start broadening their franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 You mean you never looked up to them on how to properly eat a mushroom or stomp on turtles? Or how to be frustrated when a servant tells you the girl you are looking for is in another castle or how to properly dress for various situations (raccoon for air frog for water etc.)?

FR Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 this is funny and who gives a fuck if people give mario a bad name he ain't real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 this is funnyand who gives a fuck if people give mario a bad name he ain't real Mario is real. He isn't human. But other than that, he is very real as a video game character, a cultural icon and a childhood hero to many. And I assure you that there are at least some people out there who will associate fans with criminals if people are to continue acts like this. Fortunately, the story isn't highly publicized, the occurance of this is rare, and it will probably die down because of these two conditions. Also, there's nothing funny about being robbed. Wait until someone holds you up at gunpoint and someone pulls your personal belongings out of your hands. Yeah, that's just hilarious. I've had friends who have been robbed, and I've been robbed myself. It's a very violating feeling, even if it's just 20 bucks out of your pocket. And yes, I'm glad Nintendo isn't making a game about Mario and Luigi and taxis. Finally, people need to stop dressing like the Mario brothers anyway. It's already been overdone, and stopped being cool five years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I suppose the fact that they're dressed as the Mario brothers makes it appropriate to talk about on this forum... But forget about Mario. Look at how badly they brutalized that guy. I didn't enjoy watching that video one bit. Sorry to rain on the party but that's how I feel.

The UnMod OutKast Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I LMAOed at this. I wish I could hear the cab driver's explanation to the police. But its kinda messed up that nobody attempted to help the guy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
