Jesus, you guys are actually serious.

Listen. The "UR MR GAY" thing got attention because it's hilarious, not because it's actually a hidden message. No one with half a brain actually thought that. It caught on because it's just about the stupidest, most ridiculous insult possible. A real subversive message would try to be coherent, not look like some caption off one of those cat jpegs. Seriously: "You are Mr. Gay." Mister Gay. Say that out loud a few times and try to tell me again it's a hidden message.

Immature, yes, inconsequential, yes, coincidence, more than likely, but news worthy? Nah. Just funny. And it is totally going to pop into my head and at least make me smile every time I ever look at it.

QFT.

Am i going insane or does it say gay in the trail of stars behind mario, underneath the yellow star???
This whole time i thought that was what you were talking about.

btw my first post ever!!!

....no, I think I can kind of make out an "A" but no, no gay. You probably are insane.

Wow... how is it possible that I see what he's talking about. There does seem to be a G and Y on either side of the A... Couldn't be...

does that mean im not insane? or does that mean we'r both equaly mad?

This latest conversation by LocustPlague and Thatmax is a perfect example of how ridiculous this whole idea is. Look for what you want to find and you will see it.

Equally mad.

@Thatmax - Probably the latter... I'm still not sure.

@Borkachev - How can you speak for everyone? You don't know how many people thought it might have been intentional, people with half a brain even. That's first off. Second, if your only evidence that it's *definitely* a coincidence is the seeming weakness in coherence, I'll point out that you can only spell so many things using the letters Super Mario Galaxy... and yet somehow they managed to say something that almost anyone can recognize as a (albeit non-grammatically correct) sentence. When you're a smartass artist, grammar is not necessarily essential to your joke... if they get it, and plenty of other people seem capable of getting it too, then that's enough.

Look, I'm giving that it's possibly a coincidence, but the odds are *not* for it, in a purely mathematical sense.

@super_etecoon - That'd be a nice theory if it was true that, while hoping to find the word "shoe," I could find it there. And I do.. and I can't. What he's pointing out is fairly reasonably evident.
