Who is watching these shows? Why is this still a thing? It’s been ten years since the first episode came out and maybe 7 since it’s been any good. Please stop it.

That’s what it sounds like to me, to. Or “So long-a Bowser!” 

“So long, eh Bowser.”?

IT was for WAY more than the hoverboard stunt.

Damn, that seems harsh. Fuck that guy, and he should be shamed and lose his license but 12 years in prison?

I’m genuinely baffled by why people are excited to preorder video game consoles. The history of these things is very, very clear:
