Wait.. People get paid to be a crossing guard? Thats a real job? Wouldn't you be like working two hours a day? When the kids go to school and when they leave?

Or maybe he does.   It does seem rather silly to lose a job after a first offense.



Apparently, you can't make any reference to apes or gorillas when talking about a black man.  I wonder if Donkey Kong would be offended if I thought of him as a black person considering he likes to play conga drums, rap and steal white women.

This might explain why Mario has a whip.  He is a former slave owner.

I believe in USA it is on a volunteer basis.  Not sure about Europe though which seems like they pay for "jobs" that should be volunteer.



I think the real problem is Lollipop Man Vs Councilman.

Ever see shit roll up hill?

Sounds like racism is being brought up to start controversy in this case.
When the truth is 2 employees had a disagreement, they fought and their employer decided that one of them, the most aggressive, had to go .

I do the same with my staff. If they fight and it gets out of hand, we suspend, investigate, then get rid of the aggressor or both.
We don't need to keep them around.

And he stays getting locked up by the white man too....... Nintendo is like Walt Disney of video games, extremely white washed, extremely stereotypical characters.

What the hell is a lollipop man?

In US: a man who owns a windowless van and prowls elementary school playgrounds.

In UK: a crossing guard who uses a big, lollipop-looking sign (see picture) and prowls elementary school playgrounds.

Fixed.

It's in the UK so Primary School gates, thank you.



Hmm, pie.
