Guest Jordan Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Mario blows up city! *Sigh* When will Mario ever learn?! Basic point: Americans are mostly stupid fucktards who think Mario item boxes can be used to put bombs in. Mario item boxes own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokong Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Oh my god if this turns into one of those dumb "the game made them do it" things americans will have become even more stupider (is that even a word? No? Well it is now) Ok they got the idea from the game to make boxes? Whats wrong with that, just cuz people thought "bombs", there wasn't any bombs in them so whats the crime?

Meik Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'm pretty sure this was meant to be a harmless April Fools prank, it was reported on Joystiq a few days ago.

weeyellowbloke Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Five girls -- age 16 and 17 -- claimed responsibility for making and placing the packages. The girls said they found an Internet site that included step-by-step instructions for creating replicas of blocks featured in the game. Eh? How many instructions do you need to create Mario item boxes? Step 1. Get cardboard box Step 2. Paint Yellow and draw a question mark in black Step 3. Ummmm....... Step 4. That's it I could understand the reaction if they had created a small army of bob-ombs. Wow imagine that, loads of little bombs with faces walking down a street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendork Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Fucking old people.. we really should take away their phones when they get to 65, all they do is phone up people and complain. No disrespect the majority of them age gracefully and cough up a good story at the bus stop.. but there's a few bad apples who can't stand people having fun or being out past their bed time (6pm) The kids in our street play football on a grass social area.. the road was built in the 70s judging the architecture and it's a bit of a concrete corridoor- so the architects put a big grass patch for the kids to play. Apparently they're not allowed to use this anymore. An old person, who worked out how to use a computer put a word processed letter complaining through everyones door in the road. Complaining that the kids don't ask when they want their football back and they're trashing "everyone's" gardens. So in response a mother put a poem about the old farts through everyone's doors.. this is middle class suburban warfare! /rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonmike04 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 It does seem like a pointless thing to charge them with, its mainly fueled by paranoia. How can they actually think they were bombs though?

Haver Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I am constantly amazed by this vile, cretinous anti-Americanism, this mindless, hateful fucking regurgitation of ridiculous, baseless stereotypes spun from the bile spewed by the gutter press. Do not pretend to be educated enough to form an assessment of an entire people based on a crackpot President and a Channel Five documentary.

arab_freak Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Well, I don't blame them. Not EVERYONE knows what they are, or what they contain. The girls did a good job on making them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokong Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Has anyone actually looked through the orginal site the girls got the idea from...if no here.. http://www.qwantz.com/posterchild/ Their actually not the first to do this, a good load of people from different palces have done it. Here's a secletion of mario boxes in the real world. Santa Ana, California, USA: This one is really good cuz they used a clear line string that is hard to see so the block looks like it's just floating in the air, i love to take a run and jump at it,haha The following is from the guy who made the site so not sure where it is, also below it are cut outs of items to put in the boxes Casper, NY, USA: This is funny, someone had previously put an item box in this location and came back to find the boxes had been taken and replaced with coins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope just the ones we have to put up with. By the way someone said something about racism. 'Americans' are not a race. If judge actualy gives them a criminal record for this then they need a slapping. And the people that phoned the cops need a cultural lesson.

McPhee Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 to the American goverment! theyve succesfully created a nation of paranoid drones! its amazing that such a large percentage of the general public panic at anything that doesnt fit into their word of advertising, tv and ready meals 2 stories like this in a week, i thought we were supposed to believe that America was over all of this 9/11 stuff and was looking for revenge What next?

Jav_NE Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think its great! We should all make boxes and place them around the world! World peace under Mario! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arragaun Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'm in agreement with Haver, America has brought us many great things and we should try and remember that every once in a while. I think you can refer to Americans as a race so long as you lump every American national into a single category. If you spout hate about that category, it can then be classed as racism.

BlueStar Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 If you lump all people who criticise Americans into a single category, does that mean that anyone who hates so-called "anti-americans" (Jesus, has that word ever been devalued over the last 5 years) is a racist? Hey, what if you lump all racists into a category, then if you hate racists, you're a racist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
