Ian Malcolm ofJurassic Parkfame once said life finds a way. He should have said life finds agay, since that seems to be an even greater truth. At least on the Internet. You can putanythingin front of your typical ‘net nerd and I guarantee you that within five minutes they’d have found some sort of hilarious homosexual connotation in it. Thus it is withMario Galaxy 2. I’m quite amazed at how they managed to contrive this one.
The originalMario Galaxy‘s box art wasinfamous for its “secret” messages. Various letters in the logo were marked with a star, and when you isolated those letters they spelled “UR MR GAY.” Naturally, the first thing that the repressed homosexuals of the Internet did was try to find UR MR GAY inMario Galaxy 2. It wasn’t there since different letters were starred. However, that didn’t stop them. As I said, life finds a gay.
Now, they’ve started reading the letters from the bottom to the top. When you take the new starred letters and arrange them in that way, they spell out a new message, apparently. It is now an answer to the original game’s message. Where the first title says “UR MR GAY,”Mario Galaxy 2responds with “YA I M R U?” Translated from Internet speak, that means “Yeah, I am, are you?”
The sheer forced and convoluted nature of this is what makes it funny to me. It’s a stretch beyond the limits of imagination and credibility. It’s also incredibly stupid. And I thought myMario bumming Yoshiidea was taking it too far.
