Their words, not ours. Because deep in our heart of hearts, we think that this image of Miyamoto raising crazy Microsoft man Steve Ballmer into the air is worthy of tossing onto at least a few fan-made t-shirts in some crazy, preshrunk cotton shot at world peace...or even crazier still...Mario hanging out on the Xbox 360 in proper 720p.

Alas, as the Darth Vader-like egg-throne closes over Ballmer's kindly visage, rumblings are already afoot! Do you have the chops, Ballmer?! More »

Nerdy, fast-talking brother site Valleywag points to a leaked internal email sent by Microsoft CEO and funnyman Steve Ballmer.
