McDonald's rips off Gordon College Mario show

Sep 25th 2006 1:00AM (Joystiq)
I currently attend Gordon College and am the news editor of our school paper. I asked Andrew Breton if he planned on suing McDonald's, in order to write a story on it if he did. So far, he has no plans to sue, but does say he thinks Micky D's deserves a "thumbs down." It doesn't matter if he was inspired by Japanese game shows; he still had an original idea to take it to stage at a college talent show. Because of him, the freshman class one over all the other classes, which is a rare event here. The McDonald's commercial has no relevance, and does little to actually promote their new Mario toys that supposedly encourage physical activity. It really doesn't make much sense. However, all this attention hasn't hurt our school; as the saying goes, no press is bad press. Perhaps McDonald's will give Breton some sort of compensation, though it's nigh-on impossible given that Breton does not own Nintendo, nor its various sound effects. Still, it would be nice if they donated some old-school arcade games for our student lounge!
