New York republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino has been using imagery of Nintendo’s iconic Mario character in a negative ad campaign against democratic candidate Andrew Cuomo. Is nothing sacred?!?
I am seriously embarrassed for my home state. I’m disgusted that Paladino is using a beloved videogame character in such a classless way. I hope that Nintendo sues him. (To be honest, I think Paladino is a total dick and I disagree with many of his policies.)
What do you think of the negative Mario ads? Do they make you feel dirty? Or is that just me?
Just about everything about Carl Paladino makes me feel dirty,
Don't know enough about NY politics to comment, but the ad certainly is… unique. Creative political ads are nothing new. After all, they are intended to get your attention.

@Iceman: This is the guy that's openly forwarded racist emails about the President (as well as bestiality movies), sent out a flier that smelled like trash, and threatened a NY Post reporter.
he's wishy washy like arlen spector.
