“Childhood Obesity” the New Powerup

On an extremely slow news day, I give you this bouncing little McDonald's commercial featuring Mario and Mario toys. I bet you can find as many "acrobatic little goombas" on eBay as you could possibly want. Thanks, Siliconera.

In continuing Mario-in-league-with-fatness news, Kotaku Scout Lyle sends in the following heads-up:

Hey, I just got my little sister a happy meal from McDonald's when she informed me that the next line of happy meal toys was going to be "Mario and Friends." I asked her where she saw this and she showed me the bottom of the little happy meal box, thought people would want to know, thanks!

No, Lyle. Thank you.
