Girl Chasing Bowser Gets Stuck in Pipe
 

A Hong Kong 10 year-old became stuck in a one foot wide pipe Monday morning. The girl had crawled in there, believing she would be transported to another world. Her mother heard her calls for help, and shortly thereafter called authorities. Firefighters were quickly consfused as to how to free the girl. If they had cut the pipe, they would have cut her too. If they blowtorched the pipe, she would have turned into a steel-wrapped egg roll. Fortunately, authorities came up with a decent plan. First, they cut the pipe away so that they could move the girl. Next, the pipe was lubricated with sesame oil. Rescuers then pumped the pipe full of air and, inevitably, the girl popped out a bit sore, but otherwise unharmed.

Why did this happen? According to her mother, "Kim Chi" (we will call her Kim Chi to protect her identity) was playing Super Mario Bros. on NES. "She had been playing the game all day since last week, thats all she did!" In the game, there are Super Mario green pipes that the hero, Mario, travels through to get to new levels and secret tunnels. Kim Chi apparently wanted to use the large, coincidentially green pipe that happened to be sitting outside to transport herself to a new level.

Child psychologist James Peterson has seen cases like this many times before. "The influence of games on children can do horrible things. Television is no better." James went on for quite a while, much too much to write, identifying rock music, rap, and radio as other likely causes.

Just watch some mothers get angry at mario and call it a bad influence. Kids these days, always getting stuck in pipes...St least she didnt play GTA:VC.

:lol:

Poor kid, but its hilarious :D

*chuckles and walks away*

That Mario! Hes the Devil I tell you! Hes whats wrong with the world today!!!!

I think it would have been funny to just leave her there and have large crowds gather to throw rotten food at her every Saturday.

heh, that was interesting/funny. We always thought of Mario being fun, but look what he's done to the young'ns!

protect her identity..... LMAO, then they go and take a picture of her.... WTF?

Haha, even funnier that Kim Chi is korean. Damn good cabbage too. Maybe they should have named her "Har Gow". Shrimp. :unsure:

Whatever. >_>

:lol:

I always knew Mario was a bad role model :unsure:

That is just the proof that the blame is not on videogames but on the stupidity of the people. If a game like Mario Bro has a bad influence on kids, then I'll be damned.

what a stupid kid.

women, stop sniffing glue while you're pregnant

LMAO, While I sense some pity, I still laugh. rotf

Hmm..... That was a HUGE racist remark. Where did you find this? And it is very unprofessional too... LOL. Hardly real.

No, this really happened.

OMG thats so stupid.

Heh. Mario. Pipe. Girl. heh. Funny.

LMAO since when does Mario enter pipes like that girl is positioned?? where is her little peace motion as she stands above the pipe slowly moving in??? Imagine if she actually made it inside and down in the pipe..... yeah some new level... the sewer. lol some kids are stupid and I blame the parents. My parents specifically told me when I played that game not to jump down pipes... sheesh bad infulence my ass.

Well, look at the bright side, at least she didnt start using shrooms.

Than this reporter better have gotten fired.

"she would have turned into a steel-wrapped egg roll"



That is the most racist comment I have heard in days!

Doesnt sound very racisit to me...I guess its how you take it. For all we know this person is from Hong Kong and is just a Asian correspondant for an english site.
