Nintendo Says "No" to Justin Bieber: Proceeds To Then Point And Laugh At Him.

OK, so they might not have done that last part, but they have every right to. I mean, he's short, he can't sing, is Canadian, and probably smells funny. Oh right, the story.

So Bieber apparently has a movie coming out soon called "Never Say Never" or something like that. I honestly find that awful as it's basically a slap in the face to one of my favorite animated movies, An American Tail, but I digress. So it turns out that the "director" of the "film" asked Nintendo to let them use music from Mario in the movie, and in a moment of brilliant decision making, they said no.

I refuse to put the kid's face on the site so here is a picture of an Octopus. I've been watching shows about them on the Science Channel all night. You'd be amazed at how incredibly intelligent they are.

Not long afterward, the director, Jon Chu, wrote the following on twitter:

“aw C’mon Nintendo! Y won’t u let us use the Mario theme for 15 secs in the @Justinbieber movie talk about free advertising passed up. Oops."

Beyond posting a response that resembles that of a young teenager who is slightly miffed at his parents, Chu doesn't seem to understand a few things. For one, Nintendo's hardcore fanbase and Justin Bieber's tasteless followers most likely have around 0% crossover. As a Nintendo fan myself, I would have been disgusted if the movie was allowed to use it. For two... missed advertising? I honestly don't think Nintendo needs you to advertise for them. The Mario name will always be bigger than Bieber's. After all, Mario will still be in great games long after Bieber is on the news for cocaine possession. Get a clue, sir.
