Ok, so it's been a running joke for years that in the original Super Mario Brothers videogame, toad is a bit of a jerk. Here you are, playing Mario and spending hours of your time making your way through levels filled with carnivorous turtles, flying bullets, guys throwing hammers and god knows what else. Then, after that you have to navigate through a castle filled with deadly traps, falling blocks and rotating gates of fire just so you can face down Bowswer himself, who's breathing fire and doing all he can to stop you from getting to the princess.
You go through all of that without complaint because you're a selfless hero, but what do you get in return? At the end of each level, do you get to the princess? No, all you get is Toad standing there telling you that the princess isn't even in the castle at all, but is somewhere else entirely on a different level. Thanks Toad! You couldn't have stood outside by the castle's front door to tell me that? Way to be a douchbag, buddy!
But that's not it. It gets worse.
Someone, after all these long years, finally took a closer look at what Toad's been doing to all of us as he's shattering our hopes of rescuing Princess Toadstool and thus beating the game. And guess what they see . . . . .
Yeah, the little bastard has been flipping us off. And not with just one hand, but two. He's giving us the all time classic insult, the Double Deuce.
What a dick. If I ever run across anyone COSplaying this guy at a convention anytime soon, I think I may have to punch them in the face. That'll teach them for dressing up as a guy who's a total asshole to gamers everywhere.

That's a little harsh. That was some other little toad person. The Toad we all know and love as the strong guy from Super Mario 2 is a hero known throughout the globe. He's my favorite Mariokarter so we have to let this little incident from a distant relation go.
