Sad situation, yes, but no one new a Mario coin block when they saw them?

  1. “In today's day and age, you just cannot do this kind of stuff.”Terrorists won.

  2. Man… that's pathetic. OH NOES, not a coin block! Better call in the SWAT team for this one…

  3. OMG its a Mcdonalds bag on the ground. It must be a Bomb. Oh crap the payphone is a bomb too. Oh crap my DS is a bomb!!!

  4. well, Nintendo might use this information for their market research:-what are the ages of the people that called the police.-would they try video games if they weren't using complex controllers.-don't they know that Mario Bros is more recognized than Mickey Mouse? -Would they consider trying a DS in a store even if they saw a question mark block on top of it?

  5. Hey, I know it is crazy, BUT…You've got to remember that not everybody out there knows what those coin boxes are. If you didn't know Mario, you might think, "what the crap? This might be dangerous."Not everyone is a gamer.The girls won't get in trouble for doing this.

  6. It's good to see the guy in the picture took all the proper precautions in case they had been dangerous, he's got his blast proof baseball cap and vest on.

  7. i think a bunch of random mushrooms and yoshi eggs would be funnier…ah, think about it..
