"Girls attempt real-life version of video game
Residents alarmed; teens could be charged
Beacon Journal staff report
Five teenage girls from Portage County face potential criminal charges after attempting to play a real-life version of Super Mario Bros.
The Portage County Hazardous Materials Unit and Bomb Detection Unit were called in to downtown Ravenna on Friday morning after seventeen suspicious packages -- boxes wrapped in gold wrapping paper with question marks spray painted on them -- had alarmed residents.
Boxes were found at the Immaculate Conception Church on West Main Street, the Portage County Courthouse, Deluxe Pastries, the corner of Cherry Way and Main Street, Reed Memorial Library, Ravenna High School and a residence at Sanford and Main streets.
Five girls -- age 16 and 17 -- claimed responsibility for making and placing the packages. The girls said they found an Internet site that included step-by-step instructions for creating replicas of blocks featured in the game.
The Ravenna Police Department will be working with the Portage County Prosecutor's Office regarding possible criminal charges as a result of the game."
A big LOL

because that is what bombers do, they try to make their bombs as conspicuous as possible so everyone sees them. they actually want to be caught!!
another case of american stupidity and paranoia after 9/11 but that's another topic all together
/me is reminded of the real life tetris video

yeah because bombs are often placed in boxes w/ question marks on them, the riddler must be real!
seeing that mario is really a communist ( http://albinoblacksheep.com/flash/mariocommunist ), perhaps criminal charges should be pressed...

what an interesting read! guess ill be dumping these mysterious boxes hiding in my cupboard!
the american government must be really paranoid to think strangely of those boxes!
and why would someone go that deeply to an investigation of mario. how can the game possibly be about communists killing the capitalists in a gamely way. its like chinpokemon on south park where u have to bomb that pearl harbour thingy.
and super mario is cool!

"It sounds like they need discipline. How stupid. They alarmed the residents and neighbors of that county. Think about it...wouldn't you be alittle nervous if one of the packages showed up on your doorstep?"
