Mario Christmas Mural Video

Daniel LeBlanc writes "Just in time for the Christmas Season, I drew an NES 8-Bit styled mural on the side of my high school. The mural consists of Yoshi pulling a sled with a Santa Mario and an Elf Toad." Here are both the video of the mural coming together a full photo gallery of the mural.

Not just any graffiti,

Not just any graffiti, 8-bit graffiti. Oh stop being such a grinch, it was a cool project.

The term graffiti has very negative connotations, because most people think this means that no permission was given for the project. The website says permission was given, and in fact this mural was done by a legitimate school club. As for your assertion that the project is lame, well it is a mural of very popular video game characters, isn't it? I think that satisfies the nerd requirement here. So what is the problem here? Are you simply against a few high schoolers having a little fun?

Seriously-- I can't help but think that the people who tag this as "wasteoftime" are the same people who sit in their basements consuming instead of creating, who convince themselves that any activity beyond console games and doritos are a waste of time. Sigh.

I Think It's Nice.

This is the type of thing I like to see young people doing for fun.

I'd love to replace all the obscene graffiti painted or carved around the University campus with lighthearted cultural references drawn in chalk.

It may not be the most productive thing for them to do, but it has more benefits than a lot of things people waste time on (eg, porn, WoW). A group of friends enjoyed making it, and plenty of people will probably enjoy looking at it.

Next time you're in a public restroom and there's a crudely drawn penis on the wall, erase it and draw a Mudkip. The world will be a (slightly) better place.

Your argument would make sense if a 30 year old made this mural, but that is not the case. The people who did this are current high schoolers, and they did it for their own amusement, not for us old timers.
