Super Mario a commie?

Murderize.com has unraveled a terrifying conspiracy theory that is sure to send chills down the spines of 80's-raised gamers everywhere... our beloved Super Mario is a Communist!

Okay, so the Red Scare is so Twentieth Century—now it's the "War on Terror", right?  Regardless, this
(dated) case study is good for a chuckle or two.  Enjoy.

[In addition, we'd like to point out that the original Mario (from Donkey Kong) wielded a giant hammer.  Now if that don't spell "Communist", we don't know what does!]
