The big bad “Grand Theft Auto made me do it” crowd just got some serious competition from the world of Nintendo. Two Super Mario and Luigi dressed brawling bandits, featured in the surveillance video available for viewing on the NY Daily News website, beat the crap out of a cab driver in at Great Kills, New York gas station. As you can see, there is a third individual shown in the video, but I have no idea what the hell he was supposed to be dressed up as. An accessory to a bonehead crime maybe?

If we’re lucky maybe we’ll get another “fair and balanced” morning debate on FOX & Friends titled “New Super Mario Bros. Wii Game Lets You Beat Up Cab Drivers”. Fingers crossed.

Chad Lakkis on November 13, 2009 2:52 am Good one David. The real question is, who should they bring in to do the debate. I’m voting for Alf and Ben Stiller. RSS feed for comments on this post.
