Paging Jack Thompson . .
When you see a headline like "Girls attempt real-life version of video game", there are two fair guesses as to what it's referring to. Either it's going to involve Grand Theft Auto [as every "OH NO KIDS RECREATING GAMES!" story is required to, by law] or it's going to involve Barbie Horse Adventures.
But no, not this time.
"Five teenage girls from Portage County face potential criminal charges after attempting to play a real-life version of Super Mario Bros.
The Portage County Hazardous Materials Unit and Bomb Detection Unit were called in to downtown Ravenna on Friday morning after seventeen suspicious packages -- boxes wrapped in gold wrapping paper with question marks spray painted on them -- had alarmed residents."
Yes. You read that right. The bomb squad had to disarm Mystery Blocks. Mystery Blocks.
In case you want to imitate your peers, you can head right over to the site they went to, to get your very own Mystery Block templates. Just don't blame us when the police shut down your mushroom operation.
