Mario and the Communist Manifesto (New Book)

[Doc4]

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)

I'm interested if it's not too pricey. But is it serious, or humorous?

[Doc4]

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.

Commie mario

 

Is it gonna be like this site?

[Doc4]

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.

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.

I knew those communist feelings of mine came from some childhood icon!

 

But seriously, that page is too funny for words.

[Doc4]

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!

[Doc4]

Seems our little author has been in hidding for the past few days, I hope he is working. Maybe I have the wrong number? crap

It's not a piece sign, I don't think. Look closely. It's a skull.

[liquid_sky]

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.

[Inky]

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!!!

[Lost Monkey]

Isn't it a Koopa shell?

[Doc4]

I thought it was a koopa shell too. HMMMM

[ubersaurus]

That page is so silly ;p

[Malix]

That is a funny site, scary but funny.

 

That stuff about switching the flags was spooky.

[Malix]

You guys are right...it does look like a skull, no a peace sign, no a skull, a piece sign ,a skull ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

*head explodes*

[liveinabin]

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?

[citykid]

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
