Nintendo and Iraq Full PM-box? Change here!

I just noticed this the other day:

Saddam Hussein looks EXACTLY like Super Mario! Just look at a picture of him sometime, mentally replace the beret with a little red hat, and instantly and involuntarily you will hear a familiar tune: "Doot, Doot-doot, dootdootdootdoot, dootdootdootdootdootdoot, doot, dootdootdoot!"
Why? They both run from castle to castle via underground pipes, spend all their time dodging attacks, and stomp on things that get in their way, but the similarity ends there. Is it just a wierd coincidence? Should we be deploying spiky fire-breathing turtles to the Middle East? Anybody else have any idea?

I really wish I hadn't figured it out now, because every time I see his picture on the news, with a grim voice in the background talking about tortured POWs or something, I'll feel an insane urge to giggle like a schoolgirl. And now you know it too. Ha.

Oog.

Oh my God.. big picture is clearing up.. take of the moustache.. and you get that information minister guy in Iraq! Just look at Osweld's avatar.

Is Mario the source of all evil? Is Mario Satan? Or is Nintendo behind this all?

Good to know I'm not alone. That's a great image, SU. Where on earth did you get it?
On another note, it has also come to my attention that Dubya looks very simian and relentlessly chucks large objects at Saddam. Let us all pray that Iraq does not have The Hammer...

Azazel, Sega was way better than Nintendo.. it started with 8mbits, sega was better! Sega Megadrive was better than the counterpart.. etc.
Nintendo was like Microsoft back then, everyone wanted it, but the true masters of videogames couldn't ever go with Nintendo, the mainstream machine, they chose Sega!

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Plus Sega's 8mbit had cool gun to come with it, to play the built in shooting game, which was awesome. Also they motorcycle game was rocking. Did Nintendo ever offer this? NO! Plus Nintendos gun looked way much more stupid than Segas.... Segas gun looked a bit like Desert Eagle, it was hella cool!

Anybody here play Street Fighter II? Remember the evil dictator end boss, M Bison?

Ever wondered what the M stood for?

(Hint - wears capes, dressed in red, probably shaved his moustache off in order to avoid Interpol capture...)
