10 Reasons Mario Is Actually A Terrible Role Model

1. He Has An Awful Fashion Sense

Super-Mario-600x300 While perhaps not as damaging to the children as the drugs or violence, it should be noted that Mario has got quite simply the worst fashion sense ever. Have you actually ever really taken the time to look at what he is wearing? His hat is hilarious and then he pairs up a red shirt with those hideous blue dungarees and then he tops it off with a pair of white gloves. The last person I remember who wore white gloves was Michael Jackson so this is clearly not a wise fashion accessory. I can only assume that as Mario wanders around in his drug-fuelled state he thinks he looks amazing and perhaps in certain parts of East London some supposedly trendy folk would be impressed, but no sane person likes those people or craves their approval. If we want to avoid a situation where parents disown their children for wearing caps with their own first initial emblazoned upon it, we need to act now. Like this list? Agree that Mario is a terrible role model?
