Challenge 7: Numero Dos

[Swan]

You have created a challenge for your opposing team, and they have created one for you as well.


You will have to complete two challenges by Thursday, about mid day. As before time is a factor.

Here are your challenges:

Team America's Challenge
You have been challenged to take a picture of yourself holding two dogs. One in each arm.

United Nation's Challenge
In a recent interview with the one and only Mario, he was proclaimed to be the savior of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario humbly replied, "I am the key to the peace in Mushroom Kingdom. But, Bowser keeps coming back and each time with dirtier tricks. Why can't he just play fair and leave Peach alone?" The interviewer continued to tell the back story of Mario:

"Qldic iid 8 lrghfrrp ol qlb iptkarzm azaik cxlci dario’r urcyblusod tqil dtgch. Dyci hqlrghf rag rqe yur zha.

Mario looked at the interviewer with a perplexed look on his face not knowing what the hell was just said.

Can you help Mario find out what was said?
