Will You Mario Me?

I figured that, since I just saw this, maybe there was someone else who’s cockles could use some warming.

An industrious and smitten geek was looking for a unique angle at popping the question.  Using a software program called “Lunar Magic” that enables editing and customization of SNES Mario levels, he coded his request for her hand in marriage in coins, then somehow convinced his (presumably) unsuspecting girlfriend to play a level or two.

As ingenious as this is, I have to say that the highlight for me was the puppy freaking at the end.  Also, am I the only one who would probably be so consumed by the classic coin-collecting compulsion to completely miss any messages?  It makes me wonder what other subliminal messages I’ve been exposed to over the years…

enjoy!!
