Bill O'Reilly discovers Super Mario -- Offworld

Over on Offworld, our Brandon's discovered paleo-reportage about the miraculous virtual worlds available to young people who avail themselves of the NES and Super Mario -- anchored by an agog Bill O'Reilly who can only shake his head and marvel at kids today and the crazy stuff they get up to.

Bill O'Reilly and his ~~Peabody~~ Polk award winning crew at Inside Edition report on the emerging world of Nintendo, at a time when the Mario name meant Puzo more than plumber.
As a bonus, a look behind the scenes at Game Counselor HQ, and another teasing glance at that gold-covered 'Zelda Tips and Tactics' booklet that used to sing its (too expensive for a pre-teen) siren song to me from every. single. issue. of Nintendo Power.

I can't decide if I should make a snarky comment about the "Gameplay Counselor's" hair or Bill O'Reilly's Lincoln Log fail. Mullet more glorious than all others...smarmy egocentrism cloaked in self-deprecation...can't decide... brain tearing apart...

Mullet Boy is hot. I would totally hit that.
