Jed, that was not appropriate, even if it was a joke. As an LDS, I try to clear up the common misconceptions about us Mormons. We are not the only ones to have large families. Why don't you call Bowser a latin american, or a hispanic? We (hispanics) tend to have quite large families as well. Also, if this statement included any sort of reference to polygamy (which to me it did), I want to remind you that Fundamentalist Mormons, which are in no way connected, related and/or part of the official Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, seem to not want to abandon such teachings. Please do not go around spreading false accusations. It really is annoying when the whole world views "Mormons" as polygamists, when in fact, there are dozens of different sects which all believe in polygamy and proclaim to be "Mormon." The official LDS church does not promote and/or support polygamy, as it is unlawful. Any such self-proclaimed "Mormon" who declares to be a polygamist is not a true "Mormon."

Now, back on subject. I sure am glad the Koopa Kids are back. They were always my favorite bosses! It's like travelling back in time... it's all coming back...
