That is simply terrific. I hope they won whatever that is they were doing. And the blackface thing isn't intended to be offensive, but more of a recognition that they approve of Obama, at least in my opinion.

Wow, that was awesome. So awesome in fact that the people behind DC Universe online should hire those Mario people. DCU online would suck a lot less.

I didn't realize Obama was a Koopa.

I can forgive blackface in Japanese society, in this context, because really- How many Africans are living in Japan and willing to join this troupe?

Otherwise, I have to say that this was impressive. A lot of work went into it.

Obama has nothing to do with mario BOOO

...some of you guys have me wondering.

I mean, it's clear that Mario went through a pipe, wound up in Japan, ran around the world, and went into another pipe that took him to the flag.

...isn't it?

Re: blackface..

Guys, that's not blackface. this is blackface:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface
To me the physical difference is the skin tone around the lips but more importantly the minstrelsy aspect, which is completely absent here.

Please be extra careful when throwing around accusations of racism, it's actually a real serious thing.

Okay you guys noticed a lot of things that may or may not be true, but you failed to notice the biggest blasphemy of all time. MARIO CAN'T GO LEFT!!!!
