The cab driver was playing "Super Mario World" emulated on his hacked PSP. There is only so much a couple of plumber brothers from the Bronx can take... #supermariobros
John Annese, a Columbia classmate of mine and the cops writer for The Advance in Staten Island, wrote a better and much more detailed story of the beating. Apparently Mario and Luigi were joined by a pimp and a rastafarian.
@-MasterDex-: A pimp, a rastafarian, and the Mario Bros. were assaulting a cop. The pimp said, "I have dibs on his gold watch." The rastafarian, said, "I have dibs on his wallet." Then the Mario Bros. said something unintelligible in a high-pitched and pretty offensive stereotypical Italian accent.
Then everyone laughed, but really, it was just to cover up that they were crying inside. #supermariobros
In Mario's 28 years of "plumbing", he's never actually fixed a pipe, or done any plumbing of any sort. Instead, he just runs around at his own leisure, collecting obscene amounts of money.
Ahhh who would've thought cleaning pipes would be so fun? They should have made Luigi into a garbageman. Then there would be another profession that kids could aspire to. Because we all know how necessary it is for someone to pick up our garbage, and how fun it can be, like a certain plumber for plumbing And before anyone jumps the gun, because I'm sure there's a ton of you out there with hypersensitive egos and poor comprehension skills not fit for Kotaku or the internet in general, I say it with the most sincere of purposes. #newsupermariobroswii
Mario has turned into a Tanooki, ridden on top of colored dinosaurs, and even saved a princess, but I've never seen him even fix one clogged commode. XD #newsupermariobroswii
@DigitalHero: You ought to check out the first of the Mario and Luigi games - they make reference to this, and in one part of the he actually DOES PLUMBING (plumbs?) #newsupermariobroswii

Might as well stab a hobo while you're at it.

Actually, that sounds exactly like any unionized plumber. #newsupermariobroswii

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a plumber.
