Mario more recognizable in Canada than Prime Minister

We're not sure if it's a testament to Nintendo's popularity or yet another sign of voter apathy, but a Harris/Decima survey found that more Canadians can identify a photo of flagship character Mario than they could current Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, whose held that post since January of 2006. (To be fair, that's less time than the Wii has been available in the territory.)

Of course, this Nintendo-commissioned survey just happens to coincide with the release of Mario Galaxy. We don't think the game company's Canadian branch will be receiving a Christmas card from Harper this year. Then again, if Canadian politicians are looking to cater to the much-coveted gamer demographic, perhaps they should lobby to undo this last-minute Rock Band delay.





Its so totally true, i'd be able to pick out Mario a million times faster then Harper! Some past Prime Ministers, it would be more of a tie however.

Well, many of us could beg to differ about that matter.

Meh. Does Stephen Harper even deserve to be called a Prime minister? Long live Mario.
