  • KnockoutNerd, on 04/28/2008, -8/+310I like the half-assed Wario.
  • mrtracy, on 04/28/2008, -8/+375Wait... somethings different...
    • bhavinp, on 04/28/2008, -36/+28Its not to far off considering Mario does shrooms, collects coins, and trys to take on a giant turtle raptop creature just so he can bang a princess.
    • Jamlet, on 04/28/2008, -12/+2think Mario banks them coins? haha tax evasion
    • im2emo4myshrt, on 04/28/2008, -15/+6I think its that they are unemployed plumbers.
    • NinjaPirateDude, on 04/28/2008, -0/+24yeah warios overalls are blue instead of purple
    • stargatesteve, on 04/28/2008, -5/+3I see what they did there...
    • DarkSamus, on 04/28/2008, -2/+11the princess is in another white castle!
  • KevinRWright, on 04/28/2008, -10/+86Mario wore tims?
  • Hobobaggins, on 04/28/2008, -7/+294with Mickey hands...
  • FizzanoMatrix, on 04/28/2008, -34/+5Where's Gimli?
  • amanilaenvelope, on 04/28/2008, -13/+153watch out, they're gonna put a turtle shell in your ass.
  • Falldog, on 04/28/2008, -32/+18Once again, Digg is in the cutting edge. -_-
  • FatCake, on 04/28/2008, -30/+270Hmm I can't help but notice the slightly racist flavor to all of these comments...
    • desuexmachina, on 04/28/2008, -24/+10I think you're being over-sensitive. Most of the comments are silly, some are racist but certainly not all of them.
      • bloggerjul, on 04/28/2008, -2/+8he was being sarcastic my friend...
    • lukas88, on 04/28/2008, -9/+61The guys in the picture were obviously trying to put an urban spin on the whole mario "brothers" theme, digg is just playing along
      • ZenMojo, on 04/28/2008, -2/+29Yes, obviously. By being black.
        • RobotBuddha, on 04/28/2008, -1/+13I think this is one of those times that the people yelling "racist!" the loudest are among the few actually seeing a racial element.
        • lukas88, on 04/28/2008, -2/+10I think you are just trying to stir things up. Everyone else is enjoying the interplay of two different cultures and people like you have to insist there is something racist going on.
      • rotten777, on 04/28/2008, -0/+5Black is the new urban? Interesting.
    • anotherjack, on 04/28/2008, -8/+43To say 'there goes the neighborhood" is to take 3 young black men having fun at a convention and make an unkind comment about their race. Urban spin my ass.
      • Modizzle, on 04/28/2008, -1/+6I agree. But, I also think that Tiny Lister (D Bone) would make a great Bowser.
    • Atomic05, on 04/28/2008, -15/+5Everyone is racist to some degree whether they like it or not. The faster you learn to accept that, the faster you'll realize that people who are less racist than you don't care.
      • TheBEAST205, on 04/28/2008, -1/+1I actually agree, if any of you saw these guys walking around a street in their "normal" clothes, most of you would immediately think their bad people. Stop being such hypocritical *****.
    • ianfranklin1, on 04/28/2008, -9/+10They're joking comments on culture based on attire. You're actually being racist "fatcake" for fusing the link between race and culture. I haven't seen skin color brought up yet.
      • jnark32, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2you are ignorant
      • TheBEAST205, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1Ian is right. I ***** hate their clothing style, but I don't hate black people. I hate rap music, but then again, I don't hate black people. I hate people/things based off their culture, not their color. No one said the "N" word any where at all.
    • Tunguska, on 04/28/2008, -4/+4Racism is discrimination based on race... or comments that make reference to race racist?
      • alexdeeley, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3"a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others."
    • vat0r, on 04/28/2008, -3/+3You can't help but notice it because that is the lens through which you choose to see the world.
    • exronin, on 04/28/2008, -2/+11Most diggers are probably like Michael Bolton from Office Space - thats why. They turn their music down and lock their doors etc when they see a brotha'.
    • stargatesteve, on 04/28/2008, -1/+9They're black. So? that's not racist. It's like saying someone is wearing a blue shirt. so what?
    • RainNIU, on 04/28/2008, -0/+5They're using their race as part of the pun. Let me guess, if they were paid by a white guy to do that at an expo, it would be racist, but if they thought of it themselves it wouldn't be...nice.
      • MsGo, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1Maybe they were tired of fighting over who got to be Blade, every year.
        *shrug*
    • eigenweasel, on 04/28/2008, -1/+9So the Japanese create a stereotypically Italian character with a stereotypically Italian name and a stereotypically bushy Italian moustache, and that *isn't* 'racist'?
      • MsGo, on 04/29/2008, -1/+1They Japanese stereotype everybody, because all they know are other Japanese people.
        Kinda' like these diggers and white nerds.
        But the mustache was created to defined his face, in profile.
    • protohiro, on 04/28/2008, -4/+2"slightly?" This is actually totally racist, because the only thing, the ONLY thing special about this picture of people in mario costumes is that they are black. Also their clothes are baggy. No other context about this photo.
      • HousePlaya, on 04/28/2008, -1/+0Um, isn't that the point? I don't about you but i can't really say I have ever seen one, let alone three (I would say "cool" looking) black guys doing the Cosplay play thing. I mean aside from hot girls sometimes dressing provocatively just to get attention, have you ever seen anyone doing cosplay that wasn't either Japanese, or pasty white and not extremely attractive looking. It doesn't mean anyone is being racist to point that out. Mario bros are pretty damn stereotypically Italian and I think its pretty darn amusing to seem being portrayed by black guys and I would have to assume that was their thinking behind it. Or maybe they just really really love Mario. Its still something you don't see every day.
    • lojomofo, on 04/29/2008, -1/+1Is the flavor jambalaya?

      I mean I like jambalaya, or I at least seems like it would taste good. People have told me about great jambalaya they've had. I've never really tried it myself. But I mean I like shrimp. As long as that little poo spine it pulled out that is. I like the sound of collard greens too because I used to think it was collered greens and I didn't really get that. Never had any myself, though. But I mean, you put enough butter with anything and it's good, right? Then again, look at the obesity rate in America. I mean look at everything in America. Just ***** look at it. And look at this white-ass comment I just posted. I mean I just went back and put a hyphen between the white and the ass because I wanted my internet comment to be grammatically correct. But what am I saying? That black people don't care about grammar in casual internet conversation? YES I think I AM saying that. Anyway, whatever, jambalaya and good day.

      I'm a racist and I like black people too, especially old black ladies. An old black lady came out of a church one sunday as I was walking by and asked if I wanted some chicken. I said yes and she came back out with a big ziplock bag fulla chicken. Made me some sandwiches with that chicken. That's a true story too even though you read it on the internet. So anyway, I like black people even though I don't think I've said over 300 words to any of them because I live in Idaho and the opportunity doesn't come up often. You know, I'd have to say I like black people even more then Mario.

      Anyway, whatever, jambalaya and good day.

  • abben, on 04/28/2008, -29/+19DRESSER: http://tinyurl.com/4e83f4
  • scotishstriker, on 04/28/2008, -29/+323Oh i get it its because there black
  • Praetorr, on 04/28/2008, -32/+7Nice, a 5 year old picture that's been all over every message board a million times over.

    Clearly Digg is maintaining an up to the minute regimen of news.
    • santaliqueur, on 04/28/2008, -2/+12This is not CNN, and you are not watching the news. Enough about what is "news" and what is not.
  • Jovensdesciple, on 04/28/2008, -32/+19Super Mario was not black... He was a greasy wop dego bastard and i love him for it.
    • ericmerrill, on 04/28/2008, -3/+6They said Jesus wasn't black, either. Who do you believe?
    • freedomwv, on 04/28/2008, -3/+8Exactly, Mario is a white guy. Now Jesus he was not white or black. He was middle eastern.
      • KRNpro, on 04/28/2008, -4/+2He was Jewish
        • rahamm, on 04/28/2008, -0/+7And as everyone knows Jew is a colour and skin tone.
          • Tiak, on 04/28/2008, -7/+1No, it is a race... Nobody was talking about skin tones.
          • Darntwitch, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1Being Jewish is no where near the same thing as being black...
  • TripleAStacked, on 04/28/2008, -9/+136Its actually a cool picture, they look like they are having fun!
  • zzz@tkz, on 04/28/2008, -19/+17What's with the Mikey Mouse gloves?
  • Tehkeelah, on 04/28/2008, -12/+393Well, Mario WAS able to jump very well...
  • Skanadian, on 04/28/2008, -7/+56http://digg.com/images

    Come on.
  • Chebsi, on 04/28/2008, -20/+13Time to move again...
  • dvsbastard, on 04/28/2008, -12/+5Wait a second... They aren't Italian!
    • desuexmachina, on 04/28/2008, -4/+5How would you know? Italy has a mix of different races just like every other place in the world.
  • InspectorGadget, on 04/28/2008, -26/+14That's the first time any black guy has ever smiled in any picture ever. I guess you can't look tough dressed up as Wario.
  • ClassyDude, on 04/28/2008, -17/+12Thats racist.
  • cl2yp71c, on 04/28/2008, -20/+4Where's that hoe...ahemm Peach?
  • snagra, on 04/28/2008, -6/+30I'd like to see Princess.
  • arbiterofcool, on 04/28/2008, -18/+10How did this make FP?
    • brownspank, on 04/28/2008, -0/+6With diggs, duh.
    • DarkDx, on 04/28/2008, -1/+3Because most diggers are a POS and you have to go trough the trash to get to the good stuff.
  • jaalin, on 04/28/2008, -15/+12wario-tang clan
  • namtellum, on 04/28/2008, -6/+29http://mariobrothas.ytmnd.com/ With mario brothers rap
  • motogoat, on 04/28/2008, -13/+5I saw in the movie 'True Romance' that Italians have African American lineage in their bloodstream so this isn't as racist as some people might first imagine. I don't think.
    • steffanieblack, on 04/28/2008, -3/+4Actually, they would have African ancestry, seeing as how Italy was around long before the United States was. PC terms aren't always needed.
      • SaladCactusKing, on 04/28/2008, -1/+3People who buried this don't get it and should have Chris Walken sent after them.
  • rockon4life45, on 04/28/2008, -7/+1no waluigi? i'm filing a lawsuit for discrimination
    • Tehkeelah, on 04/28/2008, -1/+5He got shot before this picture was taken.

      Not because of racial or gang violence, but because he was Waluigi.
  • motogoat, on 04/28/2008, -11/+2I saw in the movie 'True Romance' that Italians have African American lineage in their bloodstream so this isn't as racist as some people might first imagine. I don't think.
    • SwedishNinja, on 04/28/2008, -1/+1*Sicilians.

      Anthony Hopkins telling Christopher Walken that he was "Spawned by n*ggers" = Classic.
      • shakazuzu, on 04/28/2008, -0/+0it was dennis hopper not anthony hopkins
    • davidrsilva, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3It was Sicilians, and it's not true.

      Great movie though.
    • LeePeyton, on 04/28/2008, -0/+0Where was Carthadge again?
      In the end it doesn't matter we all come from the same compost heap.
  • freedomwv, on 04/28/2008, -8/+1WTF? Come on now! If you are going to do a twist on Mario at least do something interesting. Although, a lot of people would like to see this pic. It might provide some good conversation.
  • MattFromSeattle, on 04/28/2008, -8/+27I didn't know Bel Biv Devoe was reuniting - AWESOME!
    • Mpwns, on 04/28/2008, -1/+3i guess the people digging you down have no idea who you are talking about. but i got a laugh out of your joke.
    • umterpsfan, on 04/28/2008, -1/+1i got it and dugg!
    • aphexcoil, on 04/28/2008, -1/+1Are you telling me I'm so old now that Bel Biv Devoe is considered old school? (face palm)
      • MattFromSeattle, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2I know aphex, it sucks, doesn't it? I felt old when Mpwns made the comment that people digging me down "have no idea who you are talking about." I'm only 30, I'm still 'hip', right? 'Hip' is the words you youngsters are using these days, right?

        **goes back to drinking his Ovaltine.
    • smrekar, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2Ricky Bell goes to my church..
  • amanilaenvelope, on 04/28/2008, -19/+6 look at these porch turtles.
    • amanilaenvelope, on 04/28/2008, -1/+7don't worry guys i didn't mean like that, im just taking it back.
      • DarkSamus, on 04/28/2008, -0/+4did you just set yourself up for that one?
  • WhoDoneIt, on 04/28/2008, -12/+1lookin for the pipe, power-up watermelon and princess biotch.
  • ClassyDude, on 04/28/2008, -14/+4LETS MAKE THIS A CEMETERY! BURY! BURY! BURY!
  • Brok3nflag, on 04/28/2008, -21/+41does the description of the pic come off as racist to anyone else?
    • Owwmykneecap, on 04/28/2008, -10/+15no.

      It comes off as humourous based on what is presented in the picture.
      • Hefelumpman, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3black guys = there goes the neighbourhood?
        yeah, that's not racist at all...
        • sudhama, on 04/28/2008, -0/+0It's clearly meant to insinuate that plumbers are the wrong kind of people to have in your neighborhood....wait...no....it's racist.
    • innocentsinner, on 04/28/2008, -7/+8Yes, but this is Digg. And given that Digg is quickly becoming 4chan v2, it's to be expected.
    • DarkDx, on 04/28/2008, -10/+3Nigga stole my tubes!
    • LeePeyton, on 04/28/2008, -2/+04chan v2? oh rly?
      I hope you are wrong.

      i thought it was a rather light hearted comment.
    • diabloenfuego, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2Society says it's only racist if the poster was white.
  • TrainingName, on 04/28/2008, -7/+1They're not black, just a little brown.
  • WhoDoneIt, on 04/28/2008, -11/+20where is YO-shi
  • VinnieDaMac, on 04/28/2008, -12/+14That's an awesome picture. It shows anyone can enjoy videogames and dressing up.
    • abben, on 04/28/2008, -1/+28anyone = "even black people"
    • jumico, on 04/28/2008, -0/+4This has been the most racist comment so far because the poster wasn't even trying.
  • ArikSantiago, on 04/28/2008, -15/+8They all look the same.
    • simonnnomis, on 04/28/2008, -0/+3That's because they aren't white.
  • Vandalizer, on 04/28/2008, -11/+5Mario Brothaz
    • Owwmykneecap, on 04/28/2008, -0/+5yeah that was the joke alright.
  • oMeSSiaHo, on 04/28/2008, -13/+6True story:

    My landlords name is Mario. One day I was playing New Super Mario Brothers outside on my DS and I started cursing "Stupid Mario, stupid piece of smelly pasta eating ass!' when he was outside cutting my lawn. Needless to say I had a bit of explaining to do...
  • Striff, on 04/28/2008, -3/+11Wow, welcome to the internet!
  • khelp, on 04/28/2008, -2/+6They were at New York ComicCon, saw them while getting my hat signed by the cyanide and happiness dudes
  • ericdano, on 04/28/2008, -1/+6Lame....
  • amynoacid, on 04/28/2008, -0/+16Tired of people STILL posting PICTURES/(PICS)/[PICS] in the freakin NEWS section and not the IMAGES section...

  • wraithscelus, on 04/28/2008, -9/+6A black female Wario would be the perfect inverted Mario
    • Jimbuck, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1I couldn't agree with you more. Whats with the half-assed Wario too? That guy is way too mild mannered for crazy WARIO!
    • jreinstedler, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2Wrong, it needs to be a white female wario. How is black the invert of black?
  • Twenty3sog, on 04/28/2008, -19/+11This would mean Mario games would be shooters?
    • hoodedrobin, on 04/28/2008, -2/+8That was truly horrible... So I dugg you up.
  • dbsmoker, on 04/28/2008, -6/+1That's ***** tight!
  • RolltheStampede, on 04/28/2008, -0/+33"We're the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's our game, we're not like the others who get all the fame. If your sink is in trouble, you can call us on the double, we're faster than the others, you'll be hooked on the Brothers! Uh! You'll be hooked on the Brothers Gimme gimme, gimme gimme! You're in for a treat, so hang on to your seat. Get ready for adventures and remarkable feats. You'll meet Koopas, the Troopas, the Princess, and the others, hangin' with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the Brothers! To the brink! Uh! Uh!
