Jan 13 2009Theater Can Be Fun: Real Life Super Mario
This is a piece of Japanese black theater in which people dressed in all black do a bunch of crazy shit that looks awesome. In this case, reenact some Super Mario action. I highly recommend checking it out. And for those of you that can't watch at videos at work, well, freaking quit already. You're under appreciated anyways.
Thanks to Arran, who did the exact same thing for the first level in Contra, but the theater burnt down before he could perform. I'm sure it would have been awesome, Arran.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja were doing an English project, and confused Kabuki theater and Bukaki theater.

Creative yes, but I agree - what was with the Obama bit in there? Obamarama lives on, there's a themed amusement park ride coming soon to your town soonNBD

I find it offensive that Japan would denigrate their national anthem like that.

Wow. The Japanese are referencing Obama in their stuff. Now I REALLY now he's big, I mean seriously.
17. lolololol - January 13, 2009 3:22 PM
Wow, and I already thought the Japanese one was uninteresting. The Gordon College one is even worse.
