    Wait. Wait a freakin' minute. Now it's all coming back to me. Yeah, its all starting to make sense now. The seemingly innocuous technology of gaming. The subversive socio-political underpinnings. It's clear now. Crystal. I KNEW there was a reason I never trusted this guy.

    Well, Super Mario Bros. the movie was the worst movie in the history of the world, So the commie messages must be what keeps the series going.

    They make a pretty convincing argument. I knew there must be a reason why I identified with Mario so well. Only problem is that the Communists weren't the ones who deposed the tsar (though they did execute him).

    I did find it intriguing that the flag that Mario tears down at each castle has a peace sign on it...that's something I never noticed before.

    It is a skull. You can see it MUCH better in the Super Mario All-Stars version.

    Can't find a screenshot though... :mad:
