Doc4 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 A friend is working on a book entitled, Mario and the Communist Manifesto. I was wondering how much interest there would be in this book. If anyone would like a copy please let me know, so I can begin preparations for this. (Yes this is Mario from Super Mario Brothers) [ 03-15-2002: Message edited by: Monster greifen an ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I'm interested if it's not too pricey. But is it serious, or humorous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 16, 2002 Author Share Posted March 16, 2002 Don't expect too high a price tag. (He hasn't decided yet though) I'm expecting it to a serious think piece mixed with a bunch of humor. I was actually surprised to see he was working on it and he hopes to have it completed by the end of the spring break! I was wondering what kind of response this book might have in the Atariage message boards. Hopefully you remember me talking about this book, Russ. I mentioned it in an email to you awhile back and I hadn't talked about it for a long time and bamm! He hits me with this news just last night.

liquid_sky Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Commie mario Is it gonna be like this site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 16, 2002 Author Share Posted March 16, 2002 As far as the information I have is that it will be centered around this eneral concept, spilling out into other tangents such as Mario's relation to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and "The Prince" by Machiavelli. I imagine there will be a large amount based on how Mario and Luigi are some tied into Musilini and Dictators in general. It should be very interesting.

Eduardo Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 I'm a capitalist "pig" myself (and I love it) but it might be interesting to see a new conspiracy theory about Mario & Communism, who knows maybe someone is able to read between lines things we usually overlook, anyway it will be quite interesting to see that book. Btw that Communist Mario page is one-of-a-kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 I knew those communist feelings of mine came from some childhood icon! But seriously, that page is too funny for words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 16, 2002 Author Share Posted March 16, 2002 That was on crazy website but I can assure you he knew nothing about it, considering he doesn't have a connection with the intenet. I can't wait to read it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersaurus Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 It's not a piece sign, I don't think. Look closely. It's a skull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 its like those painting where it can be an old lady or a vase.. ever seen that? if you look one way its a skull.. but look anotyher way.. its a peace sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 It's not quite a peace sign. A peace sign has a line sticking straight down. What it is is a Mercedes symbol! This still fits right in with the theory!! The Mercedes logo represents capitalism!! Oh man, I'm frightened!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liveinabin Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 How can Mario tie in with communism??? his whole world is full of little coins!! That's capitalism if I ever saw it. What next, the Tao of Quake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 that site is great....i put it on my favorites to show my brother-in-law later...he saw it today...he tripped. he's what you call a nintendo-phile, a nintendo fan-boy. don't get me wrong...i dig nintendo, i got a bunch of stuff nintendo in the way of games and consoles. he had his n64 right up till the very last day and would argue with anyone who would respond that n64 was the better system in the face of sega dreamcast and sony ps2. he deleted the site from my favorites on my computer and said "i'm gonna hpunch you in yer head"...hahaha cheers shorty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
